He was very impressive. You have to always look out for Asmussen's horses. Afrashad's performance was the most impressive to me. It was almost scary good.

Still impressed by Gorella running down the loose pacesetter. Really thought that horse had it in the bag when she was clear by 7 going into the stretch but the litte filly wouldn't have that. Great preformance.

Bushfire BY FAR. For her to fight back on a rail that was DEAD AS DEAD, was unbelievable. Did you see how far Gomez went off the rail, NO ONE wanted any part of it.

If you thought Anew was that impressive, what about Afrashad. Ran only .2 slower and broke like a slug. Went the whole stretch on his wrong lead too. I seriously think if this horse can get all his quirky behavior out he could become a factor in the sprint division.

I give up after the input I cant knock any of the peformances cited here. With all the compaining about this bad ride and that horse that didnt fire maybe we should paraise all the nice performances.

Oh, that race was AWESOME! Julian Leparoux rode that race perfectly...perfectly timed and perfectly executed! What a finish!

I say Gorella. No way she should be able to close on the leader like that
