I had to watch it too :). He was extra awesome that day.

Will Maurice have that kind of a day???

I am probably embarrassing myself here but I don't think so.

Have not paid all that much attention to the horsies as of late BUT, aside from being sentimental and rooting for the HK Raider (Contentment with Prebble up)... ummm, how do I say this? I am surprising myself and not looking at who I thought I'd like here and am wondering about Rosa Gigantea.

Anyway I think I might do something small with both on top and use Maurice of course, Satono Aladdin, Clarente, Isla Bonita, and possibly Real Steel, Danon Shark ( I know, I know!) or Fiero underneath. Win bet on one but cannot decide which. Still pondering!

Good luck, SS, and anyone else playing (ed, Coachie, Cardus-ie, et al) and come home SAFE.

Logotype :eek: stuns and beats Maurice.

I had the wrong longshot haha no really never would have thought he'd do it. Wow.

Logotype has the back class but still a big surprise. Maurice was very keen to run early and the jock strangled him back which probably hurt his chances.

It's hard to get around Duramente for the win. I like Ambitious for 2nd and Kitisan Black and Lovely Day fighting it out for 3rd. Marialite could be the spoiler!

nice win by Marialite. Duramente raced too far back, was given too much to do in the stretch.

Unfortunately Duramente slipped and took a bad step right after the finish. Not life threatening but he's been retired.

Sorry to hear that! What a shame.
