Slightly odd experience today as Alvarado never sets Pal down for a run and when he did try to move at the top of the stretch, was repeatedly blocked by an erratic All Alex. Literally said after the race, "I never got to ride really, but I had horse." Was fifth beaten a length and a half for 3rd and no one was getting to the winner. Came out fine and given how little running was done, might go again before the meet ends. Was a gorgeous day. Thanks to those who came out and watched at home.
