That was a catastrophically bad ride today and it cost me a lot of money. Very unfortunate. There are very few riders in the room, only one even comes to mind, that would not have won on that horse today.

It's tough to watch. There were a lot of Hall of Famers in town for the ceremony for Shug to use, Manny Ycaza, Eddie Maple, Chris McCarron, Jerry Bailey to name a few.. The Klesaris Bros., his long time associates, tried to get him a win in the nightcap too and he actually gave that one a good try rallying wide for 2nd.

That horse was definitely loaded. Reminds me of Stevens on Gorilla in the 2005 BC Mile.
