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.

Good call by Durkin who seemed genuinely excited that the "old warhorse" did it by "running like an exuberant two year old" down the stretch.
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.
