Yep, it was a chalk fest for sure. I kept thinking that Essential Quality might get beat, but he seems to be aptly named as he nearly always has the essential quality needed to grind out a close win. Watching him not for the faint of heart. Was also hoping that Japan would spring a mild upset. Initially, I didn't like him at all, but noticed that he was dropping off 20 lbs from his last race so figured he would soar like Pegasus and he ran well, but was a little farther back then Gufo when he commenced his rally and fell a little short. Pretty much the story of my day, but better than watching 24 hour coverage of Covid or Afghanistan or myriad other problems of the moment. Grateful for the distraction.

I appreciate the "heads up" on your Grand Slam bet JB. It only seems to get dicey when there are late scratches. Hopefully it was scored correctly.
