I'm looking at One and Only, Tamamo Best Play and Epiphaneia...

So I ended up just putting all three on top in a big exacta... was out of time and didn't know wtf else to do so happy about my choice.

nice call Kitan. great to see Epiphaneia put it all together. i've always liked him and thought he would win some big races but has underachieved a bit until now. who would've thought that the '89 Kentucky derby winner's grandchildren would be the top 5 finishers in the Japan cup 25 years later. amazing.

Thanks you two, and nice hit MMSC! Really thought the pace would go the way it did and gave him a dream trip. What a dominant performance...we will definitely be hearing more from him.

Didn't think Just A Way would be as effective at 12f so that cost me the exotics. Thank goodness for our dumb Canadian money on Up With The Birds...100-1 over there and 11-1 here, inflating Epiphaneia's price. Double helped too.

Would love to hear thoughts on the Champions Cup (the race formally known as the Japan Cup Dirt) SS, Kitan, Coachie et al.
