Default What a Day!

I can't recall a time when we had such thrilling racing at different tracks in February! What race or horse(s) stood out most to you? I can't wait to see Shared Belief and Bayern face each other again..

I can't wait to see the latest NTRA poll to see if California Chrome has increased his lead.

Constitution ran a nice race too and was helped by the weird ride Lea had thanks to Rosario. I got a feeling Mott will get Johnny V next for Lea

You mean the angling out and loss of momentum to avoid the "drifting" by Castellano? it has gotten to the point that they don't even take a look at this nonsense anymore.

Rosario's ride on Imagining was a head scratcher. Better ride he is no worse than third.

Very classy comments by Hollendorfer about whether this race was 'redemption':

"No, I'm just happy to win this race and that's the honest truth. I don't care what happened before. I care what happened right now and what happens in the future. California Chrome has a big following, deservedly so. He deserved to be Horse of the Year. If things had gone a little bit different, I might have got a chance, but you can't always get things to go your way."

The Guy could give lessons on "CLASS"...and there are a few out there that could use a lesson or two.
