I agree, that was a terrific race by Wilburn - he's pretty huge, maybe 17 hands?

Took a lot of money? He was the 5-2 2nd choice on the morning line. He went off at 7-2. What should he have been?

I'll ask Scott Blasi how tall he is.

I didn't know he was 5-2.........

As to his height - thanks a lot, I'd appreciate it! Have they made the Beyer fig for that race?

He was the 2nd choice at 5/2 in the ML and looked like the only alternative to the favorite. Of course he took some money.

Go AP Indy!!!

They just showed Spectacular Bid's 1980 Big Cap on the SA feed. Pretty amazing..

I can't believe I used Tahitian Warrior. In terms of horrible Godolphin buys, and there have been many, he might be the worst.

He was awesome. Watching the SunMill race from SA, you could see that he was getting sharp. I was a tad surprised Fawkes used him here. He'd have dusted the Tom Fool today. Fawkes really has a nice touch with one turn horses. I know that's trite, but he just seems to fine tune sprinters. The way he handled Take d' Tour made me really think he was a good trainer.

I got to be around her a little when David was handling my man Malcolm's Funny Boy. She was nice.
