3/13 (TAM): Tampa Bay Derby, Florida Oaks, Hillsborough (G3's)

That was the weirdest finish I have ever seen; I didn't even see Odysseus come back again - that is, I lost sight of him. He's very talented - I know, the race won't come back fast.

That was the closest photo I've ever seen - was sitting with the SYD camp next to us.... they were going nuts heading down to the WC... what a crap break... would have spiced up the DD ticket too with Riversrunrylee getting it done at 14-1 in the nightcap not that it was bad .. I'll take it

He probably stinks, but Uptowncharlybrown had tons of traffic troubles at the top of the stretch, and was probably more deserving of a fifth place finish.

I'm sure losing that photo was like getting punched in the stomach, but I'm glad Odysseus came out on the right side. I'm going off to watch the replay now...

I was wrong in terms of the race coming up slow as it went 2 seconds faster than the Oaks.

Classic call by the race caller who prematurely said "Odysseus will have to wait for another day"

It's Grunder, you know what you are getting.
But honestly did anyone think he would even hit the board at the top of lane, let alone win the race? I think not.

Did he win? I hope the 5's connections didn't get into the winners circle before the result went up. But they probably would've needed wings to do that.

LOL I thought he was right, too..........He might want to get the colt's name right also.

Grunder is classic.
