Updates:
- Jungle Boots won easily today, he's in the top 18 on earnings now
- Sun Ruler only 3rd at Avondale yesterday - unlikely to make the field
- Tell A Tale was heroic today, 2nd in a G1 against older horses and suffering an injury in the race. Possible stress fracture.
Hope he's ok.
Anyway, on to Easy Ryder.
