Very tight race to the finish and JolyB emerges as the winner! RUFFIAN is a solid second. DonGuido is a very close third. Alli nicely rounds out the super.

MEOWZA aka OUCH

I feel like Zenyatta and her final race

But I cannot “BLAME “ Joly for picking the right horses at the wire

[JolyB]

It's a pleasure to luck into a points win the week before a major race day. No need to make a decision about next Saturday's venue. By tradition we always go to Belmont Park for the final leg of the triple crown. The draw for post position [not that it matters much for a mile and one half race with a medium sized field] will be Tuesday and it looks as if there will be a blockbuster card. The only question might be how many races we will want to include in our contest.

Watching the scores unfold it way clear that many of us liked many of the same horses.
