GOOD boy!!!

Very happy for him, for his connections and for my tvg account. Was not going to play but just did two win bets yesterday evening for the hell of it. Glad I did as went off at 8/1.

What a game horse. He sure doesn't win much but it's awfully nice when he does.

Have not yet watched the other replays... happy The Filly hit the board anyway. Was worried Platinum Witness would take it but did not expect Fascination Street to win. Will watch it a little later.

Mixed feelings about this. I loved having three great days to go to in that amazing week, but it's true that the crowd was always a bit disappointing on the middle day.

It does sound like they're going to make the two days bigger and better than ever, which can only be good.

Whoa, a really tiring day - I think I put up nine website stories, as well as writing eight big previews for the newspaper. Exhausting! But fun.

Your Rising Romance piece was especially touching.

Nice to get a Julinsky Prince update!

Will check out Get That Jive.

Funny... right as I was thinking about Iamishwara this morning I was scrolling down entries and came across his name.

In HK they award the most improved horse... do you guys have that there? I can't seem to remember...

Well if so he should win it!

Great work, ed! It made for a wonderful mornings reading.

Happy to read that Opie will be back on Saturday.

Was having a break and looked on Twitter to see if he was being talked about... found this and it's from last month but oh... I just have to post it.

“He’s rebuilt the stables, the fences and bought the groceries. He’s very special to us,” Nicola Kaye said.

On Iamishwara...

It's awesome what that horse has done for his people. One of the best stories of the season.

We don't have a most improved award, but I wish we did! He'd definitely be the winner this year.
