My vote goes to Atomic Rain

Hard to be more impressive than Gio Ponti was winning the Man O' War.

Is that from watching the race or from your figs?

I never profess to be a pro capper.Mostly because I am to lazy to do the work not because it is so difficult to do well if I committed myself to the regiment. I spend enough time speaking with people who do it for a living that I know the difference between a sharp wanna be, and a true professional.

I know you miss a good part of the game..Trust me you expose yourself plenty. When you do we all recognize it and have a good laugh. If you were half as good as you think you wouldn't be so close minded from embracing the parts of the game which continue to escape you..

BTW never mess with CJ what he does you can only hope to do. CJ is an innovator not a wanna be

I watched the race and saw his trip. I also know the competition he was in against. He destroyed that field, much more dominant than the margin of victory indicates.

For the record, I haven't done the figs yet.

I agree, 100%. He showed another dimension yesterday.

Wide all the way around, uncovered, and still finishing like that has to make Gio Ponti the most impressive horse of the day IMO.

I agree with everyone regarding Gio Ponti, there are not too many horses that can overcome that type of trip and still win rather comfortably, the only blemish if one were to be picky is the quality of horses he beat. The second and third place finishers have a penchant of not winning races recently excluding the Italian Derby. No disrespect, but that isn't a key race from my perspective.

I was there today and Atomic Rain looked great but he may have left his Haskell on the track.

He didn't save an inch of ground, wide all the way around, in hand until the top of the stretch, and when asked, EXPLODED, at least that's the way it appeared. Very push-button performance.

Atomic Rain ran well and obviously loves Monmouth but that field was a joke and Papa Clem, the only horse with any quality besides potentially the winner, probably needed a race.

Perhaps this is coming to fruition (three months later):

Gio Ponti

Pure Clan showed her class in big way.

[Indian Charlie]

Royal Punisher won pretty decently. He was one of the more obvious likely winners for a FTS I've seen for awhile and stopped the clock in 115.23 Saturday at HP. Got a 98 BSF for those that care.
