Thanks
He ran a great race maybe he could have got there if anyone ran with the winner.
But who can complain about a ten year old getting a second in a Grade II race.
We love him

I meant to post this earlier, but I went and visited the great Black Tie Affair, sire of everybody's favorite 10yo gelding, a couple weekends ago. The guy looks pretty good in his stable at O'Sullivan Farm in Charles Town, and clearly rules the roost along with Prized, another former Breeders Cup winner. His coast is barely grey anymore, but the horse still has perfect conformation and looks like he could go out and win on the lead at 10f tomorrow.

Not on Evening Attire per se, but I thought fans of Evening Attire would like to know how his famous father is doing these days.

GREAT WIN!!! and track record too !!
CONGRATS ! ALL !

The old man keeps on spoiling us. It will be a very sad day when he finally retires. I doubt if he even wants to retire.

I know my family and I were thrilled by the way he ran yesterday. After the race I was amazed that he wasn't overly sweating or looking very tired. We had a few discussions on Friday and on Saturday about scratching him because of the heat but as Pat Kelly said if the heat was going to bother him he would not run. If Attire doesn't like the conditions he will not stretch out. That is why at ten years old he is still running. He is very smart and knows how to take care of himself.

Congratulations on a great run by the "Old Man".

What a good boy he is!

Love this horse! :)

I was hoping we would have a chance to run Evening Attire in Saratoga but I just read the new condition book and there is no race for him. The only long race at the end of the meet is a 9F, The Woodward. They do not plan on running any 10F races for older horsesfor the entire meet. I asked a number of times if they would write a long race and was always told yes. I guess NYRA thinks that Saratoga fans do not want to watch old horses running long in Saratoga.
Maybe next year or the following year when he is 11 or 12 they may write a 10F or longer race race.

I'm glad I'm not the only one the Racing Office says yes to, but really means no, when I ask them to put on a race.

Nice little piece on everyones favorite gentleman...
