Was watching the race on TVG...masterful ride by Fires...the 3/2 was poised to blow past him just past the top of the stretch and he asked for more and cruised home...80-1!!! Wish I had played him today!

I was just browsing through results at DRF and when I saw the Hanshin, I thought to myself that it had to be a wire job so I look at the chart and sure enough, there it is. Typical Earlie, go to the front and improve your position.

Turned 60 this year. Won 6,000+ races. '68 Derby finished 3rd, moved up (Dancers Image/F Pass race). Won a G3 at Arlington on the turf last year at 40-1. Now this. Guy's amazing.
