I had him in 3rd. Had Orb, Revolutionary and Normandy Invasion in 2nd and 3rd. Only problem was Mylute and Verrazano keyed on top.....

Kicking myself for throwing a 1 dollar exacta on Goldencents with all rather than Orb on top. It was the perfect kind of race for some weird longshot to come chugging along.

He pooped all over my tickets. My friend (not a racing fan, but loves going with me to the track) had him across the board (she liked the name), along with Orb. So, of course, she went from being happy to being upset she didn't box them in an exacta.

A fourth and a second in a G3 and a G2 was good enough to get into the Kentucky derby this year.

He isn't that bad, but no way he he should have finished 2nd. I think a lot of the horses didn't handle the slop at all and this caused many of them to just plot along. I'll probably throw Golden Soul on the bottom of my exotics in the Preakness, but I doubt he makes it close for the win. I've been wrong many times, though.
