wow.


another Unbridleds Song 3y.o. runs huge

Went faster than the older males did in the weak Grade 3 stake at the same distance on the card.

This one's out of a good Affirmed mare and is very closely related to Rubiano, Tapit, and Glitterman in the tail-female family.

Zensational, the Unbridled's Song 3yo second time starter that broke his maiden with a 104 Beyer on the synthetic out west last week, he was actually sold for just 20K as a yearling in September ... and resold for 700K at a Feb 2yo sale.

Certainly one of the great pinhooks of all-time. They had him for just five months and got 35 times what they paid for him.

:eek: he decimated that field.

nice day for Pletcher there today.

He finished the final quarter in 22 4/5ths without much encouragement.
This one has a huge future if he stays healthy. Wonder if they will try the dirt?

Velazquez might want to ride the next Unbridled's Song 3yo that Pletcher debuts.

I really think Todd was trying to throw DeCarlo a bone there. :tro: :$:
He was love for the meet.

You're probably right, but in my opinion DeCarlo is a very good turf rider.

I liked how he was whipping the horse when he was ahead by ten coming down the stretch.:D
Looks like TAP has another tail swisher on his hands, ala Idol Maker.
Which is the ONLY 2 things those 2 horses have in common, Affirmitif actually has some talent.

DeCarlo is a better turf rider than John R. now. John R. literally s.hits his pants on the turf course.

Are you sure on that 20k? Could have been a typo somewhere. That seems almost impossible with that breeding.

I agree. JV loves to take just about every horse he rides on the turf extremely wide on the turn for home.
