Good luck to Scarface tomorrow.

Nice race in the Sham. Who'd have thunk a Discreet Cat could run like that?

Reminded me of the 2001 BC Distaff.

Except Out of Bounds' trip was a bit better than his dam's was that day. In fact, Out of Bounds' trip today was phenomenal.

Yeah, there weren't enough horses in today's race to give Out Of Bounds a remote chance as having as a bad a trip.

However, the bare bones of the respective running lines (ie settling behind the first flight, sitting down inside, waiting for room, swinging out, and closing with a rush) are similar.

I watched the replays back-to-back, if you use an imaginascope, their strides even looked similar.

No doubt it was a soft trip, but it was impressive that he was able to sit back like that, on the rail, with horses on his outside. I've seen enough lightly raced horses unravel with similar rides.
