Million Day 2006

Rising Cross is tiny.
My god she looks like a pony.

Gorella is small but put together. Dont matter once they get on the track. English Channel... my wife says English Channel looks the best to her out of all your pictures. She has no idea how good these horses are, never heard of any of them. She has been around horses since she was a fetus.

Thanks for posting the pix, Jim! I especially love the ones of Gorella- she's so pretty!

I think she has become one of my favorites, sort of like EC is to GPK.
Her kick home looked phenomenal.

Thank you for posting the pics. Gorella really is tiny, but beautiful! I love this filly, have since last year. She is only getting better!

Yeah, me too. I don't know what I'm going to do if she and Ouija Board meet in the BC Filly & Mare Turf. (Other than box my exacta.

)

Gorella says "BRING HER ON".

ouija board is no lightweight. she'll be as easygoing about gorella passing her as she was the other day when alexander goldrun came up to her...and ouija has been competitive with some of the best males that europe has to offer. her win over the boys a couple months ago was something to see. and she'd have handed david junior all he could handle if her jock knew what they heck he was doing a few weeks ago!

if gorella knew the whole story, i don't know that she'd be as sure as some on here about the outcome! and believe me, i was impressed by what she did today. but ouija board is a tough nut to crack.

Not saying that it won't be a good race or that Gorella will win easily. Just in my opinion, Gorella is the best filly or mare out there right now.

Jim, sorry I didn't come down to see you, I was in no mood to be talking to anyone after the day I had and it completely slipped my mind, I only got to the paddock(not even the lower level, a level above the Bart/Henry statue) once and that was for Showing Up

You're welcome Kev. I knew you'd want to see "The Man". He is a nice looker. I feel the post really hurt him. If you notice he was used more than a little to gain position out of the chute and into the straightaway.

The Tin Man was tough as nails though. Three years ago I bet him in the Million and he finished sixth I believe. This year I toss him and he dominates. Oh well, I was happy to see it actually.

I know you know I wasn't in the happiest of moods yesterday, but i just need to say that your pictures.....

You say you're not a photographer? They were pure and raw and had movement, gave you a sense of what it was like to be there. You are too a photographer, so there!

Thanks again. I'd tell you how many times I've looked at them but it would be embarrassing.
