I think Viva Pataca is a superior animal at 1 1/2 miles.

1 1/4 VOR

Tonight is Viva Pataca night redux.

Should do it with the head in the chest

Passing the winning post on the first occasion, HAIL THE STORM was steadied when momentarily crowded for room inside VIVA PATACA. At the 700 Metres, VENGEANCE OF RAIN was momentarily tightened for room inside BULLISH LUCK. Making the Home Turn, BULLISH LUCK hung out. BULLISH LUCK was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of BULLISH LUCK after the race did not show any significant findings. VIVA PATACA and VENGEANCE OF RAIN were sent for sampling.

I'm happy for Viva Pacata, but more happy for Mick Kinane.

Straight after he rode Archipenko in the English Derby, he was on his way to catch a plane to Hong Kong for a 12 hour flight, he only made it to the track with 2 hours to spare.

Now that is commitment!!

yeah, was about to say the same thing.. Kinane loves this horse to bits, says it is up there with the top middle distance horses in the world.. He is some big race jockey, he's not flashy, he just gets the job done and is one of the nicest guys as well.. He'll have a laugh as well...
