I was impressed with Victory Pete when he ran in the California Derby at Golden Gate Fields - he's a beautiful horse (I actually have a picture of him from that race hanging in my office). I worry that he will fade in the stretch, I think El Gato Malo will cruise by him like he's standing still... but I'll still be doing a El Gato Malo/Victory Pete exacta a few times

5 horses in the Sham...
properly named (not horse) I guess. Bunch of preps like the FOY would be nice. I guess we wont get this out west. I understand trying to avoid the horses that appear superior but ya gotta try somewhere.

I have no idea what to make of this race. I wonder if those fractions were right. They went:
24.87 50.04 1:14.35 1:38.27 1:50.15 If those fractions are correct, then this was a much better race than the Fountain of Youth. That means that Colonel John finished his last 3f in about 35 4/5 and his final 8th in 11 4/5 and El Gato Malo finished a little faster than that. I'm ok with the finish here even though disappointed that El Gato Malo didn't go by. Liked the way that both horses finished although I guess good horses are supposed to finish like that when they go that slow early. I would have liked to see the rider of EGM get out and take the race to them though. It was nearly impossible for him to run down a good horse like Colonel John under those conditions.
