The big boy is back!

What a win. He's terrific.

And in the sprint race, this little speed machine made it 12 wins from 19, and he's won this race two years in a row now.

Oh my God I was watching and Fritzy Boy running for fun... running, running, la la la la la so easy I thought he was going to win but right at the wire I thought wait a minute, Altered Image is the one who had that fall, huh? Am I remembering this right?

Well good for him!

I couldn't tell where Fritzy ended (5th? 6th?) but a nice run from him and please let me know if the winner is the guy I'm remembereing.

That other race? Flying indeed!

You're right, he had a bad fall in August 2009. He had more than a year away from racing. It's so great to see him back at the same level he was when he won a G1 by 4 lengths as a 3yo.

Fritzy was 4th and only two noses away from 2nd! He was brave under a big weight.

That's a shame, but he'll be valuable at stud.

Sir Slick was a close 5th or 6th in a G3 last week. He still tries his heart out and runs good races, but he's not the dominant, unstoppable champion he was in 2007-8. Having 129 starts would do that to you! He's only won 2 of his last 48.
