Not sure about Zinko - maybe just the track conditions.
Such a beautiful win by Bounding. She's superb. Costa Viva looked really good too to get second in just her second start. XANADU! Huge finish. Mufhasa went such a great race, and I thought he was going to win, but she just finished too strongly. Nashville and Final Touch ran nice races too, and Zennista. Some good other performances on the undercard too, like King Kamada (6th in the Derby last season). Wow! ![]() |

Mufhasa! That was great and awww so happy for Xanadu! I have absolutely nothing intelligent to add haha but can only echo your words. Oh lest I forget I was very surprised to see the results of the race w/ Postman's Daughter and Miss Pelear and for some reason am having a problem with the replay stopping halfway through. Surprised though since those two towered over that field! |

I am still catching up and just watched the replay of It's a Dundeel (wow) and a few others and I have no idea how I forgot about this one (!)...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLcFMk9U940 He ran his heart out. Very happy he help on for 3rd. God I love this horse. |

Yeah, he did so well! Proud of him.
I'm still scratching my head over Postman's Daughter and Miss Pelear too. The track was really wet there, and results were kind of crazy all day. |

I was looking at the noms for the Spring Classic next weekend and was surprised (not that I know so much, I don't and besides anything I DO know I owe to you
) at the names I hadn't heard of (mixed in with the superstars)...Storming the Tower and Ormond Road? Am I crazy for not knowing these names? Oh I was surprised to see Deanne Martin and looked to see if he had run lately and was surprised to see his (I always think he's a she) nice win. Tiny field and all but nice all the same and I did so love the way Lauren Tate seemed like she wanted to look over at him. ![]() |

I think Storming The Tower and Ormond Road are way out of their depth in the Spring Classic. Nice handicap horses (Ormond Road has 7 wins from 40 starts, and Storming The Tower 4 from 15), but neither has taken on a G1 race before. They'll struggle to be competitive against these horses.
That was a nice resuming win by Deane Martin! I was expecting the distance to be way too short for him, so I was impressed. I think he could be in for a really good year. |
