It's a beautiful lake, well deserving of the honor, both of the race and the horse being named after it.

I believe the horse is actually now pulling tourists around in a cart around the lake

Lake George was one of the most beautiful race horses I ever saw.

I think the winner was probably 4th or 5th best all things considered. Better Lucky ran huge and so did Medolina who was way too close to the pace.

I didn't think there was any chance that Better Lucky would still be around at the end of the race. After that trip, I thought for sure a fade in the stretch was likely, but that sustained run was pretty damn impressive. Too bad 15-1 won't be available again.
