AP Excellent's double entered. Both at CD and AP the same day, both with Melancon listed to ride.

Considering the weakness of the turf division, that's actually not a bad field.

The faiths magic train I have been on this year has been very good to me.

Einstein showing up right after the Foster and not surprisingly finishing second in the Firecracker at less than his ideal distance was a mysterious move by trainer Pitts. You have to wonder where Curlin would be today had he been not taken away from her. This one was odd considering the United Nations is today.
