i told my husband (we're about to have to plan vacations for next year, he has to turn in his dates by nov 1) that i wanted to go to the bc next year....he said whatever. but i doubt we do it. maybe i'll just make the trip to hot springs or go down to la to make bets.

I bet Desert Code because he had a very good record on the course and had a jock familiar with the downhill run. If he was 10-1 i probably wouldnt have bet him but at 30-1 (his odds when I bet) he was a good play. It is a tricky course for horses and riders and Mig made a huge move by saving ground crossing over the main and angling out. That wasnt exactly the trip I envisioned for the horse but it did work.
