I think you are right but I would travel to go see that horse race.

How about the ride J Lep gave Lady. He was not to be stopped. Muscled that horse between 2 others down the stretch. I was standing right at the winners circle when they came in, it was awesome. Never really paid attention to ride a jock gives before I signed on a few mos ago, but I can really appreciate it now. The boy has talent.

I dunno man...not saying Julien is a bad rider, but as ArlJim pointed out the other day, anyone could've ridden that horse to victory...the amount of gas LoV had left in the tank on the turn was something like I've never seen...

He did on okay job on Happy Ticket in the Fleur de Lis. Give the kid some credit. He's a talented jockey-great patience and hands.

As I said, I'M NOT SAYING HE'S NOT A GOOD RIDER, and he did give a good ride to Happy Ticket, who tends to stop once she strikes the front.

All I'm saying is Tony Siragusa could've ridden Lady of Venice to victory yesterday.

Lady of Venice has been invited to the American Oaks. Think they'll run her back in 2 weeks?

Oh yeah, the horse was the one not to be denied for sure, but Julian didn't have much room to shoot through and he got er done.

When I told Patrick Biancone about a month ago that I was very impressed with Lady of Venice's win at Keeneland he gushed about her for ten minutes and told me that while he has trained many good horses she might be the best filly he ever trained. He said he has never had a horse that trains as well as she does.

After Gorella won the Just a Game I told him it was a pretty nice performance for the second best filly in his barn.
