Congrats, I was at the OTB where they did not show the race, but I heard the live call. Was very exciting, just listening to the race you still got the feeling EA was a winner way before he got the lead.

Here's a link to the video on youtube- I love races where the crowd screams loud enough to be picked up by the race caller's mic.

Thanks to everyone for saying such nice things about Attire. He ran a very good race and got a 103 Beyers for it. We had thought about scratching him because of the heat but we know Attire will not run if he doesn’t feel right. He is a smart horse that takes care of himself. He came out of the race in great shape and he wasn’t even breathing hard after the race. He wasn’t sweating as much as I was.

Congrats to Evening Attire and all his connections. Great to see the old boy strut his stuff.

I finally got to watch the race. What a beautiful animal. His move on the far turn was beautiful.

If he is up at the spa getting some of the good water I hope to be able to come by and visit a true star of the sport.

How is he a few days out from his stupendous effort?
