Giant Oak and Capt Candyman just ran huge. Beethoven totally tripped out, and looks like Giant Oak isn't just a turf horse....

Yeah, he almost 'tripped' and fell after clipping heels just before entering.
That was about as game an effort as you'll ever see from a horse.

I agree, but he still got a great trip.....

That was a great race; congrats especially to Beethoven's connections and to Calvin Borel for the gutsy ride.

Btw... Any word on Big Surf?

Overbrook Farm's Big Surf, a son of filly champion Surfside, was pulled up in deep stretch and vanned off the track. Jockey Jesus Castanon said he heard something pop and immediately sought to stop the colt. Churchill reported that Big Surf returned to trainer Todd Pletcher's barn, indicating a manageable situation.

"As soon as I got off, I was expecting to see him worse than he was," Castanon said. "But I'm happy that he was better."
