Also, did anyone see how apeshit Larry Jones went when someone knocked off his cowboy hat during the celebration with owners and friends in the grandstand. His horse finally won the elusive G1 and he looked like Lou Holtz when some kid stole the hat off his head during a post-game interview..... can't lose my favorite stetson

The G1 win yesterday was worth 15 million for Porter. The deal was $20 mil without a G1 win and $35 mil with. I talked about that the day they announced it. So this race had nothing to do with the BCC and everything to do with them scrambling trying to find a G1 that he could win. Now Darley has to add 15 million to the check, they could care less now. Oh did anyone by chance hear Porter thanking everyone yesterday? "I'd like to thank Larry and Cindy Jones, Mario Pino, and the whole Fox Hill Fart team, I'm mean Fox Hill Farm team." Was a funny blooper.
