When you beat the Ness chalk at the wire at 14-1, it's time to fist pump.

nice pull my good man
box 1 was going crazy that day, you would have thought we owned the horse. I don't even think anyone had a win bet on him, but it was HUGE for ALL of us to start off the pk4 with a $28+ horse, beat NESS/Midwest, and have Dan's Bernie Butler crush show itself.
btw: everyone but Dan and gpk (i believe) ended up crushing that pk4 for 4 figures

I recall this just a tad bit differently mi amigo...GPK bought half my ticket and we split like 1800.00. I tried to give you guys the Northlands Park invader who was like 20-1 morning line but Noooooo.... wound up going off at 10-1 to bookending a sweet score.

Exactly...you and I were the ONLY ones who hit that pick 4.

I think Alan has his winning ticket confused with the $12.40 trifecta he hit at The Meadows later that night.

indeed, my error, i definitely didn't cash.
it should have said ONLY GPK and Dan cashed as everyone else crapped out on the longest shot on the board in a field of 6 in which i was live to 4 of them, ty and fml

How much of a demand is there to have Gemologist's genes to be added to the future generation of race horses?

Gemologist's signature victories are two Restricted stakes races which are the Kentucky Jockey Cup, and the Wood Memorial. It took this horse 3 months to recover from the November KJC race to get back to the track. A paid workout race at Gulfstream and followed up with another month in the barn. Then a victory over a 2nd rate Alphain the Wood Memorial.

My final question is how will this horse's DNA improve racing in the future years ahead?
