It's been a long time since I've been this excited to watch a race.

This from Bloodhorse, after Beholder went a half in :47 in her final serious work before the race:

When Mandella met Beholder and Painter back at the barn following the exercise, he asked his rider how she went.

Painter, who has worked for the Mandella barn since 1998, just shook her head from side to side in amazement.

"Oh, boy. Oh, man," was her comment.

Its been a long time since I have been this excited to bet on a race. Dortmund wont be the favorite, and he wont even be the 2nd choice. Huge value in the multis, especially since he is the big horse in the division along with Frosted.

She better find her race from last year or she will be beat like a rented mule. She has run exactly 1 race that makes her competitive with these types. I hope she comes back to form but I have not been overly impressed with her in '16. I truly appreciate her connections give her and the sport every chance.. VERY sporting!!!
