can't say i blame the guy for the approach he took, it certainly paid off for him. maybe now they'll shoot a bit higher. or maybe not. who cares really? it's now a relatively meaningless record, much like most records.
a new 10f grass record was set the other day. quick, who previously held the record. can anyone answer that without looking it up?? other than btw that is...that guy remembers everything!

Very informative... I especially like Gary West's piece with Asmussen commenting positively about this accomplishment. Everyone should celebrate this feat as triumph for thoroughbred racing. Kudos to Peppers Pride and her connections!
