I have always thought Desert Party was good, but overrated.

Anyone remember last year on AM Saratoga when Kiaran McLaughin said Regal Ranson who had yet to start was "his best 2-year-old?"

ntamm1215 and I drafted him in our fantasy stable based off that only to watch him tank out west. And of course today, I have zero on his nose to win.

Did the announcer continue to call Gayego "Gay Ego" in the GODOLPHIN MILE? They showed his sprint win there, and he kept calling him that all the way to the wire.

Brilliant from former US sprinter Big City Man. I love this guy, watch out for the nice tackle he does mid race to the horse on his right!!

Edgar Prado put on his typical masterpiece on Indian Blessing. Even though his numbers are mind-bogglingly bad with speed sprinters ... he's normally a very good gate rider ... he got IB totally left at the start and had to rush up the outside fense on a track that has been looking pretty kind to the inside.

He's about the only rider in the country skilled enough to suck the life out of Fabulous Strike and get him to run a 65 pace figure going 7fs after a good break. Clever move by Baffert naming him.

thats what happens after 3 months of not racing and shipping halfway around the world. the winnner had recent races over the track and was almost 6-1, IB 1-1. the bet(big city man) was a no brainer.
