By the way - Rachel Alexandra made two starts at Churchill this year - Unrivaled Belle edged her by a head in the first ... that race was her 2nd start off of the layoff, she carried 4 pounds more than UB that day.. I realize almost insignifcant factors - but the margin was just a head and the final time was great.
In RA's other start at Churchill - she won a 9f stakes by 11 lengths - her final time was slightly faster than Blame's in the Stephen Foster at the same distance on that same card. She won the Ky Oaks by 20 lengths over this track the year prior with Hal Wiggins training her ... and they retire sound?

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.

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.

How was Borel a worst? Did you see his mounts? Other than the Marathon and Juv Fillies - They stunk. And he was hardly riding Caddy's in those two.

Best:
Uncle Mo Goldikova Awesome Feather Todd Pletcher Zenyatta and Blame My pick of Shared Account (not the horse herself) My bankroll Cool ESPN camera angles (hey, I like most of 'em) Big Drama Worst: Randy Moss and Joe Tessitore's frequent speaking errors Injuries Michigan-Illinois 45-minute delay in posting Pick 6 payoff (literally zero websites had this) Todd Pletcher using the non-word "irregardless" (at least I'm pretty sure he said it)
