I do to. I had him to win and multiples underneath him. I had a fistful of tickets riding on Free Of Love. Then Lukas and his upset special Scorpion takes it in the last 100 yards. A great race from start to finish however. One of the best I've ever seen.

I remember a large gasp from the crowd when Free Of Love retook the lead. Congaree had wrenched his knee but had zillions on him to show. He bravely hung on for 3rd saving the many bridgejumpers. I was at the rail when Scorpion turned it on and my cheers turned to groans with every stride he took to close on Free Of Love.

You can painfully reminisce by clicking on the p[ic with Free Of Love on the rail.
