When they have class. Everything they do is classy. What a thrill ride he gave us. Must have been a huge thrill to see him come home. Wish I could have been there.

This is making my eyes tear.

Thanks for posting it. Such a nice horse. Too bad one of his owners really ruined what should have been a moment of pure class for our sport.

I'm not meaning to hold on to something bad or not be open to his apologies or whatever... it's just that I live here and there hasn't been too much, that I've noticed, about his homecoming like there should have been.

Losing the Belmont is acceptable. He is with some good company there.

... but to stain the day and suck the joy from it so hatefully and bitterly?

Sorry for the rant.

I will always be a fan of the horse but never of the owners.

Applause for the Tonalist connections for their exemplary grace.

Just the opposite. Working a full schedule at GGF as a California Steward (safety). Also prepping for the beginning of the No. Cal. Fairs. Kicks off with Pleasanton a week from tomorrow Thurs. June 19.

Those games always start around 6:30. Gives us all plenty of time. Have two tomorrow night at Hall Middle School in Corta Madera Ca. Can save you a great seat if you can get a ride.
