Good Racing Luck

shaun brigde might be the most overconfident rider in the US, hit the horse twice down the lane. tough luck gus, you started off what looked to be a nice pk4

Thanks BT, but I did not include Chaffee John after the scratch to Adore the Gold. I was knocked out in the 1st leg.

No doubt, Bridgmo gets some of the best stock being 1st call rider for Asmussem (Except for Curlin and Rachel Alexandra). Simplify hung a bit.

Precious Passion is amazing once again. I can see some of the opposition sending a rabbit (sprinter) in his next start. That was just silly seeing him open up like that and never really being challenged down the lane. Interesting to see where he goes from here.

19:4 first 1/4? can that be legit? i thought trujillo was gonna get an escort off the grounds when he cut those fractions, horse kept going.. and NOBODY came

Hi Ho Bogey,:tro:

Great call last 8th..Jude Kent..$15.40:$:

You said Tonight the night.

This was the pace advantage of the day.

I don't think a rabbit works against this horse, as he's shown the ability to come back again when challenged late after having run some silly early fractions.

This is a FAST horse. Not all the ***** dirt horses that use kickback and lack of drafting to their advantage.
