Kev, we were with Steve when it HAPPENED. I asked, "how happy is golf pro?" congrats and maybe now people won't think you're advertising for the ENG CHAN diner.

PS Don't fart on anyone tonight

When we told her why we were so excited, there was dead silence on the other end......freaking non-horse racing people!

GPK,
I gotta say, just like others have, when EC struck the front the *first* thing I thought was,,, "well, GPK is going ape-sh*t right about now!!"

I guess I didn't realize he was being retired after this race. What a way to go out. Awesome performance!! And yes, it was an absolute R-O-M-P!!!!

Suzanne(very happy in O-H.......I-O right now!!)

Thanks for the thoughts Suzanne.

All the hollering and screaming just confirmed what everyone at the OTB already knew...

I must say that the last two races by English Channel really changed my opinion of him. I always just thought he was a decent horse that was very overrated and never got it done on the big day. Then he showed incredible guts going up the rail in the Turf Classic and followed it up with a brilliant performance in the BC. He totally won me over with those two starts. Too bad I'm on board too late to enjoy him run anymore.
