You almost sounded emotional talking about him finally getting a win..

and yes, that was cool..

of course, preceded by the Dutrow claim running 3 days back

Any chance they could bring you guys in to ESPN or NBC to show'em how it's done?

Nice work. I got excited for Hedge Fund myself just watching that.

Very nice wrap up . How about Mor Chances ? He had to be right up there with the son of Mizzen Mast , Barrier Reef, for horse of the meet .

Why'd they retire him?

He looked pretty darn good winning his last race by 12+ lengths for a nickle at Mountaineer.

He had a few more wins for a nickle left in him.

Your serious?

MTN is the last stop before the truck comes. Hedge Fund was racing against horses at the "end of the line". One reason Hedge Fund was in good shape is that McG trained him until he was sold...sometime around mid 2007. Hedge Fund didn't have 25 starts (in 2009) on his resume when Phipps owned him and...no drugs..no joint tapping,...no steroids...

Bravo to WinStar.
