Is it okay if I root for 7 horses?

An amazing group.

Safe trip home, Sir Slick.

I'll be happy if any of the above win (but especially Sir Slick or Tell a Tale.

Oh Gallions Reach too).

Who wins this, ed?

[_ed_]

I'll go Tell A Tale, La Etoile and Culminate. But I won't be surprised if I'm completely wrong!

Um, wow.

But this was amazing - the Champagne Stakes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c58AyW79ZOA

Such a good boy. I think he's going to be the best 3yo of all the 2yo horses we've seen this season. Derby, maybe?

These were great!

(Hahahaha Sir Slick never ceases to amaze me).

Fantastic!

She was flying and oh I didn't even know Sir Slick was running (again)!

Great race... good for her!
