baileys going over the gate later was a good thing.
so was goldberg (gimme a sec to swallow this twinkie) when he talked about closers not necessarily making a longer distance. lol talk about irony tho that jazil wins it after.....
a lovely, lovely afternoon.
congrats to all the winners. that turf race by cacique, english channel et al will be HARD to beat all year. here's hoping the bc turf is as competitive.

Goldberg is now heading for that bag of Doritos...
I think it is good for people to see that they take the horses best interests in mind, like when the 6 flipped in the gate in the Acorn, and as you say, wasnt shot. It is odd that racing has that stigma, seeing as the animals are pandered and given many amentities. It's not greyhound racing or anything, where who really knows what goes on behind the scenes.
Great day all in all.
