I knew you'd show up. I'd prefer you to Dew though.. At least you make me laugh.

Seriously, I would've had a very good day had he not won, so if I sound bitter, I am.

I thought this was an outstanding day of racing and a very challenging pick 4, I think you had to go 3 or 4 deep early on to get atleast to the Travers. When you look at the results, a logical case could be made for all of these horses. Whoever cashed today my hats off to them.

I am just messing around man. I have been married to this horse since he won down here in Fla.

I made money on the day...but nothing gigantic. If Shepard's horse won the 8then I woulda hit the late pick 4...did not like the winner of the 8th. Visionaire at 6-1 was honestly not a great price. He got an IDEAL set up today. Won easily....but race was handed to him.

I hate this horse too. Can't believe he won a G1. If Court Vision had gone on to win the Travers I would have given up following horse racing for good. Pyro should have been in this race. And what the hell does Mott have Majestic Warrior sitting in the barn for? Even he might have had a shot with that setup.

Want some whine with that cheese?

Chrsit...it's not like this horse was 50-1......considering the pace scenario he made a lot of sense today.

Tiz It carved out fractions identical to the King's Bishop...he sure has a way of landing in tough MSW races and always finding one a little better.

If anyone watched the replay of his last race against older On Board Again...Street Magician. He wouldn't have been much of a surprise.

Not GREAT races but still pretty good. Too bad the mighty smooth air didnt show up. Pace flow mighta have really worked well for him.

Latana Mob had somewhat the same type of run as Visionaire but
decided bumper cars would be fun instead.

He actually had a better trip.....in my opinion. If he was any good he would have won easily.
