Playalong thread talked about the performance of WASHINGTON RULES Saturday in his 2nd career start. McPeek Roman Ruler gelding with an 87 Beyer in the GP 5th. Came running under Kent D. to nail the Pletcher firster San Pablo at the wire. There was buzz about the horse and he was ridden with supreme confidence and like he had plenty yet to give.

As I mentioned yesterday, there is a wacky backstory with this horse. Vets said he wouldn't make the races and he was gelded and given away as a pony. McPeek went to the client who had the horse last year and wanted to know what happened to him and was told that they had given him away. McPeek said to get him back and they did. Now you'll see him in the Fountain of Youth. You can't make this stuff up.

I thought San Pablo ran a huge race, and will definitely be one to watch going forward.
