Thanks for the heads up. Interesting to see another horse in there taking some money too.

That was actually pretty funny to watch. Xavier Perez was working the living sh*t out of Smiling Jordan while Acosta is just sitting there on Rapid Redux while he pulls away.

Wow...didn't realize they didn't have show betting in the race. Don't see that real often in a 6 horse field.

They pay a $2.20 show minimum in W Va.

Canceling show betting in situations like this has become a very recent thing there. Some of the most gimmie bridgejumps I've ever seen happened there. Two horse entries in W VA bred stakes races where both horses towered over the field.

Smart move by them. Sucks for the better that likes that kind of action, but hard to blame CT for not wanting to create a negative pool.

He's tough on that bullring. That's where his best form is.

He looked very strong and fit coming back to the winners circle. The race didn't seem to take much out of him.

I hope he goes on to win 20. Can you imagine the threads of arguments that would start?

OY

If he wins his next, Peppers Pride and Zenyatta should be forced out of retirement for a 3 horse race to settle the argument of greatest horse ever.

How important was that QH race that TVG had to air it live on a split screen?

If he wins 20, would that make him Horse of the Year?

Yes. According to the backstretch and regulars at Charles Town and Penn.
