As I admitted on ATR last night, I am an unabashed fan of Neil Howard and his horses. We've become friends, and he is perhaps the most gracious guy I've met yet in the game... And Mr. Farish is unquestionably one of the last true gentlemen in the sport. Losing last year with Grasshopper to Jim Tafel and a better horse in Street Sense was one thing... Mambo in Seattle was likely the better horse Saturday and I expect that to prove out by this time next year. And while I respect Eion Harty, it's hard to believe that anyone would root for WinStar (Casner, Walden, et al..) over an outfit like the Farish-Howard camp.
Did he get up for second because he went 9 wide or would he have not hit the board if he tried an inside trip? CJ even with his troubles won . Isnt that the way it is most of the time. A gutty winner and a game second, isnt the way we like it to be? Kinda like a horserace.
