Good win for the Godolphin filly. On the turf I would have really fancied her, but as it was on dirt, you could never be sure.

Had the second
Yeah I reversed my picks.

Good for her!

GO GODOLPHIN, GO!

For anyone who didn't just see Happy Boy win......

He could have won with his leg tied together, going backwards and if he had given the others a three furlong head start.

Boy that was impressive!!!


EDIT: Soon to be a Godolphin horse, I imagine

The Brazilians are on fire once again.

Backing them blind has led to big profits for the last two years, and this year looks to be no different!!

I told you I like Gloria de Campeao more....but both horses used to race on the turf here.....Happy Boy was a very good dirt racer in the beggining of his career....but he didnt faced strong fields...only on the turf...where he was an excellent horse...but not a TOP horse...i am surprised...

This is what happens when you bet against J. Moreira...the "Fantasma"....the ghost, the phantom, whatever....I dont know why I insist on betting against him... ....the young boy is awesome

I bet on both of them win and place, and in the last race I bet on both Happy Runner (1st) and Objeto De Arte who is an ex Brazilian horse who finished 2nd!

My contest selections didn't do much, but my blind betting on Brazilians came up brilliant once again

You'd love him!

Yes Happy Runner won

Do you know much about the second placed finished, Objeto De Arte who is now trained in France, but used to race in Brazil?

Those two were in first and second for almost the whole race, nothing else looked like winning apart from those two.

Yes...he used to run here...he was a very good colt....with a great potential....but he never faced serious competition...he never raced even a listed race here...he won 3 out of 6 starts...all of them on the turf...allowance races...but on his last start...he broke track record (7f on the turf) and was sent to race abroad....under the silks of the same original owner...Stud Estrela Energia

Oh my god! My mistake!

Happy Boy and Happy Runner, winners of the 6th and 7th, were both ridden by experienced brazilian jockey J. Aparecido and not J. Moreira as I said...

Moreira only rode brazilians Olympic City and Olympic Glory....2nd and 3rd place respectively on the 2nd and 3rd races of the card.

Sorry!
