He rode Lure. I wasnt on either side of the fence on his ride in this race, it was just a good race that I was thinking of. Lure set the 5 furlong track record 1st time out at Belmont also. 56 and change. Since broken by Kelly Kip.

Seems like it's been a long time since the Gotham was run on the Aqueduct main track.
I guess Mike forgot there is that pesky rail on the inside.
He does get 2 thumbs up for Chntl though.
