No, that was the Sprint on Preakness Day. The Pim Special is at 1 3/16ths and lately has been run the day before.

You're right. I had thought it was a route, but that would have been incorrect. I'm all about being inaccurate today.

That was the funniest thing I have ever seen in sports. Some guy did something very similar at Santa Anita one year.

LOL! That punch reminds me of a drunk guy who went after me at a bar once.

I love how the guy just stands there after taking the swing like he is saying "oh, drat! I missed that Chop Chop guy!" I figure he would have tried to run.

Sorry to see it go, but one less option for the better horses out there is probably a good thing...

The thing is this just encourages everyone to wait even longer to start a top horse. There are now no two turn G1s on the dirt for older males on the east coast between the Donn on 2/3 and the Suburban on 6/30. That is doing nothing towards improving the quality of racing year round.
