He'll be OK against G3 horses ... like the ones he faced today ... but don't get too excited about his chances against real G1/G2 competition.

Anyhow ... congratulations Giacomo ... and in case you forgot ... that little enclosure they took you to after the race .... is called the Winner's Circle.
That is an interesting way to "congratulate" a horse.

I was wrong, I never thought this one would win another race...

Chill out Scuds, stop worrying about what people think about Giacomo and worry about why does it seem like the Dodgers and Cardinals play every day and why can't the Dodgers beat them, the Reds need to make up some ground and the Dodgers aren't helping things...

I agree. Seems like almost everytime a horse wins a race one of a few people jumps on and points out that the competition was light and that they arent a true Grade 1 horse. Then, the second a popular horse loses they jump on him proclaiming that he is a fraud and no good. I dont get it.

This is a tough group by and large. I do wish it was more positive.

I don't know about anyone else on this thread ... but ... the first sentence of my first post read ...

"It's wonderful to see Giacomo get a '1' next to his name again" ...

... and ... though you couldn't see it ... I had a smile on my face when I typed it!

He had an ideal pace set up. Preachinathebar did all the work and really deserved to win. The good news? Giacomo will be vastly overbet next time out.
