Thanks. Bruce Brown, Bill Recio (who had him in Ocala for about a year) and their respective staffs deserve all the credit. Bill laid a great, patient foundation with 'Wheelie, and the horse had been training great since he arrived at the Oklahoma in late June. In light of the injury that he suffered last July, this would have to rank as our partnership's most rewarding win no matter where it happened. That it occurred at Saratoga only makes it that much more special.
If only we had been able to hit the pic-6, then we would have had a tale of a lifetime. We had 5 consos, as Fancy Point and Crowned General were "B"s on our tickets, and we didn't have them tied together.
