Yeah - I remember BTW asking me for the name of the Mott maiden on the Playing To Win show - and I didn't remember it.

Even though he won back at a price - I can sleep easier at night knowing I never gave out the miserable Court Vision.

Funny how IEAH is claiming that they knew all along that Big Brown was going to win the Derby, yet still paid $5 Million for half of Court Vision......that's forgetting that they entered Big Brown in a turf race for his 3YO debut. Of course they claimed he was always pointing for the Blue Grass.....which apparently they didn't nominate him for.

It all makes perfect sense to me.

What's interesting is that even though he 'wiped out' the field, he actually ran 53 feet LESS than the runner up, King's Silver Son. As such, it might've been a bit harder to take him next time out (8:1 or otherwise). Moreover, King's Silver Son ran 2nd yet again in a MSW earlier on the Iroquois card, going 8.5F--a race run in ridiculously pedestrian fractions, yet, won by a last mover.

Go figure.

I just love TRAKUS.

CV rode the inside in that race - but at Keeneland - that's not any edge.

Speed started to do a lot better it seemed when the jocks started to avoid the rail - the pacesetter often in the 4 path.

This is general stuff.

What's been omitted to this point is the fact that Wicked Style got the lead all alone when Gold Train, who was to his inside and contesting the pace with him, was pulled up entering the backstretch.
