Should I start listing all the races where I have one of two in an exacta? That's not a daily occurrence.
I loaded up on CCM last out, btw.

Must we discuss trips again?

If you're referring to the Kentucky Jockey Club, you might want to review what (actually) happened in that race. BTW, didn't he hold off your horse, CCM, in that one? You know, the last mover.

How about the Holy Bull; did he get a perfect trip there as well?

Not saying this horse is special but he's certainly going to run better AROUND 2 TURNS, on a FAIR track, than anything coming out of the FOY. Last I looked, you need some middle moves to completely collapse a race.
