Dictina's Boy came home an easy 7 1/4 length winner. It came as a bit of a surprise, since he has never really gone well on soft ground. Despite what the chart says, it was definately on the softish-side of good. His jumping was excellent and Xavier Aixpuru gave him a fantastic ride.

Otherwise, attendence was a little off (35,000), but the worst part of the day was the NJ Racing Commission putting the kibosh on wagering via simulcast/AWDs. It is something that the NSA is going to have to workout for the future. This was an excellent card to bet with a lot of non-preferred horses winning, including ours. I'm sure we would have been in double-digits, which would have made our day a little more profitable.

Tom,

Congratulation to you, Sean and everyone connected to Dictina's Boy... Hope you had a chance to listen to Voss today. Was another great honor and pleasure for me to have on ATR. Sounds like there's lots of good things in store for you with this gelding!
