I hope someone had Steve's horse in the exacta. Both in the Super would have been nice, too.


I was at the paddock wall and Steve looked jovial and relaxed as he saddled his horses. My dark iPhone photo of his horse who placed:




I was there for the 6th, 7th, and 8th as Russell Baze rode a five bagger.

The track Bugler played "Taste of Honey" twice while I was there, so pretty sure Herb Alpert was in attendance.

Ranger Heartley seemed to be the sentimental favorite in the paddock crowd.


Connemara is a handsome horse.

My score that took my wife to dinner was going heavy on the Baze-Hollendorfer chalk in the 8th.

The sauteed calimari with the Coppola Claret was great!
