The only thing I regret was getting a little caught up in the moment at the finish and forgetting to mention who ran second and third. Thirty lashes for that.

I just was hoping to get the PP/Zen reference to the filly... looking back at my post, I did call you a tool - that was unfair and unwarranted - I don't even know you.... My apologies & keep up the great work.

Before he was known for training Rapid Redux:




Rapid Redux is 18-for-18 this year -- and 2-for-2 last December ... so, this 20 race win streak with a former 5K claimer was achieved in less than one year time.

Here's a great win streak from a horse who shipped all over... and certainly had more super fast races over his career than Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and Man O' War combined.
