not sure if you were watching the ESPN coverage, but Randy Moss said some sort of inside source said that there was "extra insentive" from whom ever bought Hard Spun's breeding rights if he were to win a Grade 1 before going to the shed. So i guess this was pretty much the only logical choice for that type of race so far along in the season.


Also, did anyone see how apeshit Larry Jones went when someone knocked off his cowboy hat during the celebration with owners and friends in the grandstand. His horse finally won the elusive G1 and he looked like Lou Holtz when some kid stole the hat off his head during a post-game interview..... can't lose my favorite stetson

Better than seeing his ass up on Hard Spun like we did all of the time around the Triple Crown races. No wonder he couldn't win - he was tired all of the time...

The G1 win yesterday was worth 15 million for Porter. The deal was $20 mil without a G1 win and $35 mil with. I talked about that the day they announced it. So this race had nothing to do with the BCC and everything to do with them scrambling trying to find a G1 that he could win. Now Darley has to add 15 million to the check, they could care less now. Oh did anyone by chance hear Porter thanking everyone yesterday? "I'd like to thank Larry and Cindy Jones, Mario Pino, and the whole Fox Hill Fart team, I'm mean Fox Hill Farm team." Was a funny blooper.

His buddy that caught his hat should have made the play of the day on ESPN.
