I don't think there is such a thing as past your time unless you think you are. Cheer for the old guy, and when you think you are past it, look at what he did today at his age. That will change your mind...

I wonder what the record is for number of years between winning the same graded race?!

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure someone out there knows this obscure fact. If he didn't set the record today for that, I would have to think he is in the top 2 or 3. My guess would be he stands alone here. You don't see a heckuva lot of grades stakes horses even running 6 years let alone winning the same race 6 years apart.

I was at a basketball tourney for most of the day, but they were loading in the gate when I got home. I didn't have a dime invested, but my buddies and I were cheering for him. That was pretty exciting!!

Do you think we can start a campaign to have NYRA bring back the 10F Saratoga Breeders Cup so he can run in at at ten?
We are very proud of him and appreciate all the nice comments about him.
Thanks

Joe,

Congratulations again! You, Mary, TJ and Pat, and everyone associated with Attire, have the admiration and appreciation of racing fans..

Not only should we push for the return of the SAR BC, we should advocate a name change for it to the Evening Attire BCH! They're changing the name of the Californian to the Lava Man, so why can't Attire have one named after him?

They absolutely should rename a race after him. How about the Queens County?
