Yep and I added Palace Episode. I'm interested to see if #4 English Colony (GB), who is undefeated sprinting on the lawn handles graded company.

Gus, Calvin didn't do us any favors getting stuck on the rail with Blackberry Road...he had a ton of horse

In that same vain, it would have been nice if Eddie Perez had kept Gold Hornet a bit closer to the field, so he might have had a chance in the stretch.

Golfer, I totally agree with both assessments.

Blackberry Road is a bet back at two turns and Gold Hornet needed to be closer to the pace at 21-1.

And while I'm belly-aching about rides, how about Johnny V on SymphonyofPsalms???? What in the world led him to believe the seas would part for him on the rail in the 7th at Belmont? He also had a ton of horse!
This is a TOUGH game!

GH has never been anywhere near the pace in any of his starts. He was outclassed today, that is it. He is a very useful horse that was doing well and they took a shot. I personally think Perez is a moron and get gift rides from Block because he doesn't win on anything else. I can't remember who won on his last time (contest day) but it was a perfect ride, if I recall this is only his third start of the year, might be someone to watch down at FG when they go down there if he stays healthy.

There's a difference between not being near the pace, and GAPPING the field.
It never fails to astonish me when jockey's with closers gap the field, then shockingly come up short in the stretch

Watch all his other races and you will understand what I am saying. His last at Arlington is the exact same race, same gap and everything

Trippi at Belmont, I did listen and loaded up on Sok Sok and Tiago at SA made for a nice late comback in the day for me and pulled me comfortably ahead. Hope you cashed also.

PSH, ditto here. I didn't play the Tri in the Kelso and I thought I was doomed. I was able to make some scores late as well.

Thanks for Sok Sok!! Got + for the day.

Scav, what's up? Yeah, all of his wins have been coming off the pace very wide, I'm just not fan of Perez. I really thought today was GH's day. GH victories have been light of the tote board types.

Yep, they liked him today but weren't sure he could win. Lara had that winner earlier on the card. Looking back at his last race he was about 8 lengths back off the pace and it was moderate, today was pretty quick. If Graham was there and rode him today they are probably more competitive
