i was there and saw it and the incident in question in my opinion did slow GG down but as far as who initiated it thats in question. the shameful thing is it did happen and we were robbed of seeing probaly alot more exciting finish! im a huge huge fan of 15's and have been since his career began and it hurts to see him taken down like this, especially in a 100k. im still shocked that nobody took him last year the 1 time he was dangled for the 50k tag. i told kris turner(trainer whos a whole nother story for awhole nother time) to take the horse, of course if yours truly had the cash he woulda went to the claim box on this horse with his pants down. its not very often you get a chance to buy a proven stakes winner with his kinda record in your own backyard let alone anywhere, most surprising of all is frank calabrese not dropping on him. people dont think sharp trainers like janks, asmussen etc etc give anything away but occasionally they do give ya the chance you just gotta have the sack to take it. again i love 15, and i only believe the horse has 1 real chink in his armor and thats having to ship and run somewhere else.
in other arlington news from today im very very anxious to watch gita run again! really liked her this morning when going over the pp's in the barn off that little break she got and a sharp work coming into today, made me some money:) ! seems they got this filly right for stiritz and she was ultra impressive today when 1 of the coupled entry favs took a run at her and james graham asked the question! now not many non chicago people here are probaly familiar with the downstate based bill stiritz but the guys owns and breeds some very nice horses and also has deep pockets to boot LOL! she broke her maiden in sub 110 today which ultra scary for a ILL bred!
1 last note jimmy graham won with all 5 mounts today. was off to a bit of a slow start but expect him to remain hot the rest of the meet and be right up there at the top of the standings with cisco torres and chris emigh
