Well done, big mare. :)

I'll agree with tazing Rudolph, add Simon Bray to that list. Schrupp's comediness is starting to grow on me a little, although his homer TVG is God stuff makes me turn the channel

You mean Smith isn't banging Zenyatta?

Hollywood Park and California are just creepy in general, guy screaming on the microphone like he's an emcee at a wedding, Shirreffs addressing the crowd, old creepy ladies carrying around signs. It like a different world over there

She looked beat and somehow got up to win, just as Personal Ensign willed her way to victory in the BC, these are the moments that you don't forget as a racefan whether you are a fan of West coast racing or east coast racing. I also thought Vic was right on his game today also, magical stuff.
