Seek Gold ?????
 

Wow. .... !

My thoughts, exactly! Perfect Drift almost had a win! :(

un effin believable. NTRA National Pick 4 is going to pay HUGE - wonder how many had him??? Really glad to see that Perfect Drift still had "it"...I was doubting him before this race. Looks like our board Grade 1 contest will go another week without a winner in the biggest race - really doubt anyone included Seek Gold!!!

How bad a beat is that if you nailed Perfect Drift to win?

Thought he had a shot to hit the board....but never on top!!!
Can't wait to see the NTRA payouts!!

Makes me want to give up betting!

One of those days I'm very happy I didnt hit the OTB!!! I saw his Clark performance a while back but was very sour on the horse after I backed him in last years Alysheba and he came up empty at Churchill. Anyone want to explain to me how this horse won. Anything in the sheets/racing form? First for new trainer, but the new trainer is only a 14% winner with first time starters. Always hoping to learn a little bit :)

I 2nd that!!!

Me too... someone explain to me what happened. Damn, that was as close as it gets for Drifty.

All I know is you will not see Seek Gold in the Classic but PD will be there with Bells on and he will ROCK! He lost by a freakin' HAIR. To all you who diss, shrug, ddrop him, don't stick him in the top three, when will you learn. THIS is a race horse.

Dead last at the eighth pole.. THE EIGHTH POLE...

Best part of that win is Calvin Borel... The camera on him before it bacame official was priceless... Totally underappreciated guy that grinds it out. I think Randy Moss said it was his first Gr. I win which amazes me...

Wild.. wild.. wild..

Carryober at CD and BEL tomorrow...

Very bold of him to say he knew he got the photo before they posted it. I thought he did too, but then the slow mo looked like Perfect Drift may have gotten it.

Funny how the horse wins one of the biggest races of the year first time away from Zito in a place Zito holds so many great memories.

Hey Steve, I didn't know you are a DKE? Mu, that's Colgate right?

D/F..

You bet Mu = 'gate... Another DTer wrote me last week who's Mu '66...

You, "in the bonds"?

I am "itb".
Tau from Hamilton for me.....'97
Right up the road!!

Holy ****! A Continental.. and a denizen of Wertimer Hall..

Spent many a night at Alteri's 1978-82 where we'd go to watch hockey "pre-cable"... Was "voice" of Red Raider Hockey for 4 years.. Called 2 games from Sage Rink as I recall.. The oldest rink.. AND OLDEST ZAMBONI in existence. At that time, Greg Batt was the HC coach.. He was a Colgate Hockey legend. Must have been 75 then and still coaching. Was at Hamilton maybe 40 years.

Pretty funny.. From Rochchacha? I get there regularly. Doing business with Wegs.. Had tons of friends that were at 'gate from Roch. Brighton especially..

He and Willie Martinez rode Saint and Fleet Valid for Trombetta the morning Desormeaux missed the work.. Seemed like a terrific guy. A major character and deserving of some plaudits and recognition.

There's no real surprise here ...

... the older horses this year are simply dreadful ... the G1 fields have been no better than allowance quality. Someone has to win these races ... and today "someone" did ... a Zito castoff no less.

Lava Man is the only horse who has really shown any talent and consistency. Maybe someone will come off the bench and do something nice ... but until then ... we'll just have to wait for Mayan King to reach his best form in order to have something worthwhile to cheer about.

I've been listening to you say that for over two years now...

If a time machine is ever invented, I hope you'll invest.

No surprise? Oh, okaaaaay.....
