Congrats Bob!

Nice work Chuck, TC and Team Simon.

That was a heartstopper.

No kidding. Looked like a winner turning for home, then looked like it could be a 4th place finish 50 yards from the line....and then prevailed. That was one hell of an exciting race.

Congratulations to you guys on a very nice victory.

Very nice run by Fading Light too (third @ 21-1!)

I'll have to check the head on to see what happened in the stretch. Looked like a combo of a bit of green running and getting the hole shut off and losing momentum.

WAIT, a Cannon claim of foul! Hold all tickets.

Hopefully Velez call sell it to the Stews...

Congrats on the nice runs!!

Fading Light def. seemed to check when the other horse closed the gap. Looked like a cinch for place until it happened. Tough break. Hope they both came back safe and sound!

I agree. Clear Pond was my other pick in that race... exacta would have been a good payout too!

i had the 3/11 ex, would have been nice (and very lucrative) had the one come down. but the stewards called it right....

We claimed foul thinking we could confuse them.
