Praying for Cash
 
Was anybody else impressed by Praying for Cash? This seemed like a pretty big step up in competition for him, and he was game, even though he ran out of steam at the end (which is not to suggest anything -- BGC was obviously the superior horse in the race). Still, second to BGC is pretty good, and he finished ahead of a few horses I thought would beat him. Not sure where I'd put him next if I were his trainer, but it seems like he could do reasonably well this fall?

Oh yeah, that was a huge race for him. I didn't figure he would be anywhere near where he finished. He was beaten like the proverbial rented mule in the stretch, so I think he'll need a little time to come back from that effort.

Good point. I'll keep an eye out for him, though. That was definitely gutsy. The hometown crowd must have been pretty happy.
