Congratulations again! You, Mary, TJ and Pat, and everyone associated with Attire, have the admiration and appreciation of racing fans.. Not only should we push for the return of the SAR BC, we should advocate a name change for it to the Evening Attire BCH! They're changing the name of the Californian to the Lava Man, so why can't Attire have one named after him?

As I read the article I actually had tears in my eyes...
GO EA!!!! Maybe he felt like the horse racing community needed another hero and he was telling us "HERE I AM!"

This is great stuff. I was always a huge Black Tie Affair fan, and it's good to see one of his boys still out there doing well.

Incredible looking at his past performances. The one that caught my eye was the 2002 Excelsior. He rocketed to the lead and led by 5 at the 2nd call. Of 63 career races....he never did it before and never did it after. Makes me wonder what was going on that day?? Especially coming in off 3 straight wins from mid pack. I'd love to hear the story behind that one as right after that he was back of the pack every single race.
Incredibly nice horse and quite the 9 year old season racing 12 times and never finishing worse than 4th in any race. The 9 month break sure served him well this year. He deserves any attention he gets.

As someone who thought she was going to lose her horse for the past month, it made me feel good to see this horse do well. Call me a sentimental female, I don't care. I can give ya that kick in the groin if ya want... And what I meant by a hero was that he(EA) wanted the world to take notice of him.  A horse who in this sport is still competing at his age and being competitive at that.

Here's a link to the video for anyone who missed the race:
http://www.nyra.com/Aqueduct/Broadca...kesRaces.shtml Just scroll down to the Queen's County--it's the last race featured on the page. Check out EA's profile in the stretch...he lowers his body mass and streamlines himself. Totally professional.

I don't know why this horse ever started just walking out of the gate like that, but it sure gives him some added character. The funny thing about a horse like Evening Attire is that not only are the horses he raced against early in his career (like Street Cry) long retired, but now their offspring (like Street Sense) are retiring too. Meanwhile he is still out there winning graded stakes races.
