Steve Byk ‏@Steve_Byk: 99 Beyer for Pletcher/Arindel Farm homebred Zaikov (Distorted Humor-Wait a While) in bow..

What a heady ride by Mike Smith... I realize that Manando was backing up but Smith knew right when to pull the trigger. Great performance by horse and rider.

How's Contempt of Court? I read he was pulled up near the finish line after minor bumping at the start. Was Castellano just taking care of him since he's a maiden and 5th thru 9th is the same $$, or did anything happen? Found it curious that he got $420 for the DNF. So they still pay out if 9th doesn't finish?

Some fun pedigrees in that race, Jostle, Easter Bunnette, Wait a While babies also Stella Prima with her notable siblings...
