Most Impressive Horse of the day

[my miss storm cat]

My vote goes to Takeover Target for surviving his surgery today.

Oh jeez I'll bite and take the Arlington horse.

Reb was awesome today.

He obviously didn't beat much...and I think Gio Ponti was awesome today...but he was open lengths the best in that race given his trouble.

The Secretariat could be interesting.

I have to think any decent Euros that come over will be tough to beat considering the three year old turfers we've seen so far this year. Reb's the U.S.'s best hope I guess. . .

Reb was essentially the only horse that didn't run into the trouble down the lane, besides Albarado's horse who just couldn't last. He has run two good races in a row, might plateau. I won't be playing him back, but that should mean that everyone run to the window on him

Another note, Razo should only be bet on cadillac's from now on. He has really fallen off lately, might have a little to do with Rene Douglas going down but while Giant Oak wasn't his best today, he still gave this horse zero chance, pressed the panic button, if he is where the 2 is, I think he runs 2nd.

I would have to go with Rail Trip. He ran huge. Not only did he win by 3 lengths, but the 2nd horse (Tres Borachos) beat the rest of the field by an additional 5 lengths. Rail Trip really stepped it up today. He really surprised me. I thought he'd have a hard time getting 1 1/4 miles, but he handled it with no problem.

Where is that? Blocked behind a wall of horses, looking hopelessly beaten an eighth of a mile out?

Marcus was beside himself a quarter of a mile in with the ride Razo was giving Oak...and it didn't get any better from there.

awww... Colic?

Not colic. From Racing Post:

TAKEOVER TARGET'S future is in the balance after he cracked a cannon bone in the Darley July Cup at Newmarket on Friday.

Screws put in, taking him home to recover, and, one hopes, a happy retirement.
