If they ran that race 10 times you may have 10 totally different results based on trips

Absolutely correct! I had every horse in the race predicted to run "sheet" figures within one point of each other. As a lot of turf races go, it definitely became a trip race and we got the widest!

Good run in his 3rd start. Better things ahead.

Thank you and let's hope so. We would love to get some recognition for his namesake, retired trainer Jimmy Picou. Jimmy retired four years ago without much notice after a solid career as a horseman and true gentleman. Barclay Tagg told Jimmy this morning he should be in the Hall of Fame for putting up with Fred Hooper as an owner for all the years that he did.

Boy, did he love Belmont Park and those wide sweeping turns. Paid over $60 when he won the Manhattan.
