Zito Comes to His Senses

And you know who won that maiden race? None other than Silver Train.

Silver Train wired them by many lengths. I bet Malheur who was effortlessly clearing to the lead before entrapping and running back with a new figure eight on at Belmont and winning by many.
The worst part about that was that my good friend was managing Buckram Oak's runners at the time and told me to bet Silver Train, who was trained by Ralph Ziadie at the time.
He asked me how much I made on the race and I just made a bitter face and I had to listen to him taunt me all night long when we went out on how much money I could have made.

I actually think he was trained by George Mikaledes (name?) at the time. Pretty sure.

In fact, that's why I didn't bet him, lol. And I think he might have been wearing wraps for that start which is a no-no for me from a 2 year old.

Thats why I didn't bet him either. And it ruined my day. I singled Malheur who couldn't lose at the top of the stretch, until he lost his air, and then proceeded to watch the next legs of my pik-3 roll home.
I ended up catching the late pik-4 which ended on Birdstone which paid great, but all I could think of was that I only had a buck on it because I was down to pennies before it started and if I had at least saved with Silver Train in my pik-3's as a saver I would maybe have had 10 bucks on it instead of two bucks. Its like the difference between 8 thousand and 1600. Nothing To Lose was a cinch that day and I liked the horse who won the Kings Bishop at a decent price although his name eludes me now, do you remember who win it Randall? I got lucky when someone carried out the horse who was making a big move at the top of the lane, and my horse slid up the rail umimpeded and saved all ground and won.
My memory is crazy huh? I can remember exactly where I was standing in the clubhouse and exactly what tv monitor I watched the race on, and I can see the horse carrying out the other horse at the top of the lane and seeing my horse slide up the rail with a perfect trip like noone ever had,lol, but I can't remember his name.

I just did some research. Is the horse whose name eludes you POMEROY?

If I'm correct, that was the Valid Video race, no?

Megs could have had a few more seconds if Frankel ran him against Mineshaft. Megs lost the BCC for Congaree. That crushed me.
