If Dutrow Jr. trained Questing -- she would have come back in a week and absolutely smoked the Travers field.

It's bad enough that Magic Ticket was a joint winner -- but the other Speightstown layoff horse carried that field along for a mile and was only beaten about 7 or 8 lengths and he'd been off since February the 4th.

It wasn't pretty.

Golden Ticket was Leparoux off. He finished 2nd in an N1X Alw/opt claimer last out with him up. So the bad luck for Julian continues.

The great David Cohen got him a share of the win with a nice ground saving trip.

The ROI on 'Leparoux off' must be staggering.

Of course he just won the last and killed any chance of me cashing a ticket today.

Charlie Lopestri is a training God. Nice to see a few PID shippers doing ok at Saratoga. They will start knocking them dead at Keeneland.

I bet him in the 8th -- I needed those God-like qualities then.

It was the 0/20 going synth to turf the last 5 years that took me off that horse. Lopresti should thank me.

I'll be loading up on Unbridled's Note as soon as Leparoux gets taken off. That ride today was absolutely brutal.

If Dutrow would just shut up and pay more attention he could actually be good for racing instead of the resident punching bag. At the very least he is willing to think out of the box and does like to run his horses.

Is the New York Court of Appeals the only thing left between Dutrow and the 10 year suspension? If it is, Dutrow is in a lot of trouble getting that rescinded.
