Of course, after Azeri spanked Bailey again in the Apple Blossom AND Gor For Wand in 2004, Bailey made sure to get the last laugh at Saratoga when he absolutely destroyed his own mount's chances in the 1 1/4 mile Personal Ensign by sending her to the lead and running the opening 3/4 in 1:09 so that Azeri would not win. Bailey's mount finished butt-naked last, and Azeri got passed late and ran 2nd.
Ok, I'm done. Back to my hole.

Didn't Sightseek beat Azeri in the Ogden Phipps?> Wasn't the jockey aboard Sightseek Jerry Bailey? Wasnt it Pat Day's fault for taking the bait Bailey set on Roar Emotion in the Personal Ensign? Was Roar Emotion a world beater?
