The Bloodhorse video is of Race 8 instead of Race 7 for some reason. Here's Paynter's win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=WZRXE4hwXwI

So happy for him. Having a healthy Paynter back in top form is gonna make for a fun year, I think.

Did Vic get choked up at the end or was that a throat clear? Either way, great race by Paynter on the comeback!

It was a nice comeback performance. I don't think anyone could have reasonably expected him to run much better than that.

What is all the stuff I'm reading about Baffert talking smack about Ray Paulick in the post-race interview?

I tuned out for the Interview expecting it would be a 'say all the things you're supposed to say' type of interview.

What did Baffert say that caused such a reaction?

Baffert and Paulick have been having a bit of a feud because of Paulick's coverage of that story about the deaths of some of Baffert's horses.

Then there was some stupid Jill Baffert/Paulick thing going on on twitter Thursday that seemed to fuel the fire--I'm probably missing part of this.

During the interview, Baffert first made some mention of "certain websites" and seemed like he was going to take the high road, but at the end of the interview he said something like, "Hey Ray Paulick, Paynter says put that in your pipe and smoke it."

I told myself ten times during the day to hold together if he ran big.

Best laid plans.

jill said something on twitter, "we prayed for his dark and spiteful heart" i believe was what it said, regarding paulick. she is angry about paulick daring mention the horse deaths in bafferts barn, and is rushing to defend the 'man i love'.

Loved seeing him back and loved your race call. It was right up there with my favorite one of yours... Lava Man winning the 2007 Gold Cup.
