Code West was put away on the turn, and came back to finish in a close photo for the win.

The race looked ugly visually, but the final time was very good.

They went 0.30 seconds faster than Grade 3 older males at the same distance in a race won by Mark Valeski. Albeit, that one was run with a pretty slow pace.

Unlimited Budget laid off a very strong pace and won the Rachel Alexandra clear going 4/5ths slower.

I thought I was watching a FG turf race with the way the first half mile of the Risen Star unfolded.

What was Terry Thompson doing in the Rachel Alexandra? Those early fractions were ridiculous.
