Well while we're at it, Gentleman Chester running 4th was a pretty big deal for an Illinois-bred....was pretty happy for him and his connections.

I thought he was a huge overlay this weekend based on his really good 2nd to Just Wells subsequent 2nd in the A Million, Leparioux who is a good turf rider was ridiculously nonchalant on him early on and really only rode him the final 1/4 of the race. Anytime BTN is in front of you down the backstretch you know are in trouble.

By the way, BTN's respectable 2nd was my favorite moment this weekend.

He does seem like a far superior horse when allowed to relax and make one run as opposed to trying to rate and then still find a way to finish with any real punch.

That said, perhaps the attempt at making "one run" thing was taken to the extreme Saturday.

Agree on this sentence 100%.

Ninth Client and Whisked Away. Andy Serling said they'd both wire the fields.

Prince Eddington staying up for second. Like father...

Courageous Cat. I foolishly took a stand against him. He impressed me most of anyone. He will make some noise on the grass this year.

my fave moment has nothing to do with horse racing at all. :o

dagolfer33 08-17-2009 07:30 PM

My favorite moment was when my 60-1 shot finished 2nd to a 4-5 shot at Evd Saturday night to start a pick 3 bet I had made. I knew right then, I was going to win this bet, and I did, and I made about $14.:D
