You're right.

He normally totes around 118 lbs but today ran with 128 lbs.

If this sport was covered in a more mainstream manner, Kenny would get raked over the coals for this. It was an indefensible decision.

I can see it now.

Headline on the sports page:

"Kenny Rogered & Roasted..."

I dont get how the Sanford Hopeful or Champagne didn't make sense for Ward(American Rascal). What did they want to do, make a turf stallion out of Lady Aurelia? But what the heck? The tea and crumpets are great

Regardless of what he was capable of in what amounts to an early season training race at Keeneland, do they really expect a son of Curlin to be the ideal candidate for a 5 furlong race at Royal Ascot?

I'm going to hazard a guess that Coolmore never sent a Galileo over for this race.

Hopefully horse isn't fried.

Speaking of Coolmore, their runner His Majesty ran a deceptively good race. Broke slow, stuck in the back of his group, but then worked his way into contention & accelerated between horses to take command before finishing with a strong charge, though a couple lengths behind the opposite group (which might have had the better ground).

He's by No Nay Never so perhaps destined for sprints, but if he gets to the end of the season he might be a viable prospect stretching out for the BC Juvenile Turf.

No, but the joy of having the dam's offspring potentially win at the same meet was too much to pass up.
