He wired the field going slow fractions. Yes it was very clever. Relaxed Gesture was far and away the best horse that day, closing tons of ground with Grey Swallow to lose by a head bob, besting English Channel who sat a cozy trip just off Cacique.

The turf was also off and favored deep closers all day long. Sorry guys, that was a win against the bias for which he gets more credit in my opinion.
The other turf races I recall were Contessa's maiden by Point Given coming from last place, as did Gorella running down a horse on a long losse lead(Pommes Frites) who had set slow fractions.
