EA broke poorly (as I expected), Barcola had it fairly easy on lead (as I hoped). And Evening Attire nails him on the line. Good for the old guy!

Not so good for me...

My birthday is Valentine's Day too.

I don't think there is such a thing as past your time unless you think you are. Cheer for the old guy, and when you think you are past it, look at what he did today at his age. That will change your mind...

I wonder what the record is for number of years between winning the same graded race?!

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure someone out there knows this obscure fact. If he didn't set the record today for that, I would have to think he is in the top 2 or 3. My guess would be he stands alone here. You don't see a heckuva lot of grades stakes horses even running 6 years let alone winning the same race 6 years apart.

I was at a basketball tourney for most of the day, but they were loading in the gate when I got home. I didn't have a dime invested, but my buddies and I were cheering for him. That was pretty exciting!!
