Many congratulations Joe and all connections, excellent run!!!
Very exciting, got all my dogs barking as I cheered him home!!
I just love that old gray boy!!!!!!
He looked great!



EDIT: Apparently I'm an idiot that can't add a sig, but that's Evening Attire at Belmont after the Brooklyn looking just great, he's a really cool horse.

Thrilled for you all and for your grand old gentleman.

Great race! Congrats on winning AND the BC berth...wow.
He actually broke..um..."well"..

A spectacular performance. That 12F distance suits EA. He can get into his stride and then has time to turn it on when it counts.

Way to go EA and all his connections!!! Awesome stuff.

Congrats from here as well. He ran a great race, and it was a kick to see him closing up the rail!

Some have said that the BC Marathon will simply involve a bunch of mediocre horses . . . I don't see it that way. They'll be horses who are good at doing a long route! And isn't that what everybody's complaining we don't have any more?

It is refreshing to see a race set up without the intense explosion out of the gate that shorter distances require. At 12F the field does not run away from EA right out of the gate because they are pacing themselves for the longer test.

edit: good catch cmorioles. 12 F it is.

It is 12f, not 10.
