yeah...just watched the replay Mike. Tracked the leaders...moved up the rail when making the turn and did just enough to get by and insure the win.

It was a very intelligent thing to do with the horse. Obviously a leading US contender for the BC Mile. Gives him time for one more prep and the big show on Cup day. hes a real nice horse.

The horse was geared down so severely just before the wire, I was afraid he had taken a bad step or something. And he still ran in 1:32.68.
