Made a wager on that alone (and I don't think I've ever done that before).
You're right, Gilchrist and Aleo deserve a "beast".

He must have looked super in the paddock upclose. I was only watching on the simalcast feed and they only showed the warmups for a second, and he looked fantastic in the post parade..Nice wager on the language aspect...
