That was a sensational ride by Cornelio Velasquez. She was literally in trouble every step of the way and he never panicked and kept her running smoothly. The seem opened into the stretch and she cruised. Most riders would have steadied away and blown a race.

Good work Andrew.. Of course I swapped her for the Pletcher thing that ran 2nd.. Doh!

Looked this morning and noted move by Jolley to Guidrey on the #4.. ('H'Wood' something..) Didn't use but that was probably a mistake. The Guid seems to be going 'Jeffersons' on every mount lately...

Did I hear Collmus say Manny Cruz has 4 wins today? Manny Cruz the jockey he meant, right? (Not Manny Cruz the maitre'd at Joe's Stone Crab...)

Manny Cruz won four races today.....I needed him twice....and lost by two noses for a serious amount of money.

Of course his ride in the finale was as bad as a rider can ride.
