Talamo has ice water in his veins. Nearly pitched out the side when she clipped heels, righted himself, goes back to riding and wins the race. Alysheba redux.

Some job staying aboard by Joe, let alone rallying to win the race. But I think it's amazing that he couldn't find a clean trip with only 4 other horses in the race and then he tried to force through a hole that might not have been there.

Is that the one with Talamo on Cesium Fountain? The 5th race, a 6 furlong claimer? The calracing.com replay is kinda jerky and try as I might, I just can't see a darn thing that's notable. Can anybody put it on Youtube?

Ahh thanks. I didn't realize the title of the thread was also the horse's name. That was pretty amazing balance from Talamo and how that horse got up and won on top of everything. Yikes.

What a race. I called 2 friends and they were speechless themselves.

Amazing.
