Recovered to make a threatening bid inside only to run into some traffic while finishing just in behind the blanket finishers.

At least he didn't mention flavor-of-the-week Barry Irwin, who owned 3rd place finisher Captain Bodgit. Not sure if Dale Capuano is one of the dreaded "liars".
I would say " even for Hovdey that's embarrassing " but we're so far past that concept that this article is just more of the same.

He would have " remembered " the truth if Julie rode Touch Gold.

Can't wait for his Belmont Stakes Top Ten.

I wonder if he'll mention the whip count Mrs. Hovdey unleashed on Colonial Affair through the stretch of his open length victory.

I just hope Secretariat can top Julie winning the Belmont. I also hope he remembers to mention Colonial Affair.
