![]() What did Martin Garcia do other than manage to not fall off of a horse?
I'd say it was a pretty typical week for him in that regard. Edgar Prado actually had a brilliant ride to upset the F and M Turf. |

![]() Plumania heads my worst list, unless she bled or tied up in the race, that was a pretty dreadful performance Fri.

![]() She was like 8-1. Harmonious was horrible and bet hard, tvg guys singled her in the pick 4. Um Winter Memories was also pretty flat IMO.

![]() Well she was my only bet on Fri, so I will wear the goat's horns for that one, brutal pick..luckily my best one today(posted, no redboard) came through. All in all I would say the Euro's were somewhat disappointing this yr. Even with 2 wins to their credit.

![]() Of all the jocks this weekend, I can tell you about Gomez and Velazquez and all those guys but the guy that impressed me the most was Rosario. He's come a long way. Rosario rode a great race on Hamazing Destiny for 2nd in the Sprint, not panicking after a bit of a sluggish break that has really compromised that colt in the past, and really rode him well to get 2nd money in the sprint. Then after that he found a way to get Dakota Phone into the winners circle, and rode a pretty heady and smart race on Champ Pegasus. Rosario was very good today.

![]() This just popped into my head, Calvin Bo-Rail was a worst. Without the rail being an advantage like it has been as it was in the last BC, derbies...ect. He was outridden by a journeyman jock that would qualify as a best of...Jamie Theriot. You have to wonder was this communicated by the BC admin to the track super prior to Fri, just throwing that out there. As far as I can remember CD and the rail has always been the place to be.

TV Coverage - other than sweating out the end of the Ill-Mich game so we could see the Juvy race live. The Fight Churchill Downs Real Dirt Uncle Mo Unrivaled Bell My Friday Bankroll The Shot of the track under the lights..pretty cool Worst Midday not getting up and costing me a huge triple Not putting shared account on top of Midday for a few bucks My Saturday bankroll Leaving Big Drama out of my pick 3 Not betting either one of Pletcher's More than Ready horses |

dvr'ing the races, coming home and zipping thru the nonsense and just watching the good stuff. getting home in time to see the classic live. blame, who i'd picked way back when, winning. goldikova three-peating. an awesome horse. dakota phone's win-love seeing an older horse triumph like that, repaying his connections for keeping him in racing. worst: having a horse break down. them only showing zenyatta the whole time, with nary a glimpse of the rest of the classic field. the mosses asking fans to be quiet.
