Yeah, I just watched it on the NYRA website. I guess with regards to handicapping, watching TV is always better than reading. Nonetheless, Gio Ponti was still outfinished (albeit with some traffic issues) down the lane. He seems to be a sucker horse one way or the other, especially now that he will be in 4yo and up events from now on.
And as great as it is that Court Vision is now probably worth at least $100 million (in IEAH money anyways), I'm curious to know what would have happened, given the pedestrian pace today, had runaway Secretariat winner Winchester run here instead of the Hollywood Turf Cup next week.
Also, for Christmas I want Dixie Chatter to run in the Malibu, if for no other reason than to make the race even more impossible to handicap.
