E.A. takes the photo for 2nd.. Congrats Joe, Mary, Tommy and Pat! Stakes placed at 10... ;)

Pace ended up zippy and he's amazing as the wire draws close.. ALWAYS surges...

Probably would have won with more ground. Still slow out of the gate, but he is as game as they come, nice race today.

I think it is so funny the way he just walks out of the gate. Nice run for the old man:D

He just wants to give the young kids a chance.:)
We were thrilled by the way he ran today. He will get a little more distance in the Stymie which should help.
I watched the Discovery over at www.eveningattire.net
and that brought such great memories back. I just got off the phone with Tom Kelly and we were talking about next summer in Saratoga. Tom is 87 and I think watching Attire run keeps him young. Has a horse won a stake race at? 20:) :)

Evening Attire is slowly creeping into my top 10 hero list! Way to go!!
Even though I'll be cheering against Favre tomorrow you've got to love classy veterans like Evening Attire and Brett Favre. So what I've had four Martini's.

Great page...never knew it existed. Pretty much impossible not to be a fan of the horse.

Nice race to watch. You've had four Martini's before I could even start drinking. What should I drink? Settle for Captains and Coke or get something new? The choices!?!?!?!?!?!

Sorry I missed it and yeah... love the way everyone gets a head start.

Good for him!

He is a legend. He deserves all the credit in the world while he still pursues his love - running. Congrats to all his connections and supporters.

wow, not a bad stretch move from the old guy. he really comes alive down the lane and never flattens out. his consistent competitive spirit makes him fun to watch.

What a great horse....He spots the field about five lengths and only loses by 1. He will get a few wins at 10 this year.....Good Luck
