Chris DeCarlo continues to impress me as he guides My Bella Beauty to second money - he drafted perfectly behind Ave's Halo on the turn and was simply second best all the way through the lane.

Cox' horses have at least been running well. There was just no one else that I really wanted in that race.

I agree with you for the most part on the Kentucky shippers. It has gotten to the point where when I see a horse trained by Rusty Arnold or Merrill Scherer I automatically toss regardless of how formidable they look on paper.
