This will put a big smile on your face : - )
WOW!
What a great picture! My daughter says that Saratoga opened yesterday. They had tickets to attend.
The biggest thing here is that he was 10, although that can happen, just few horses race past 6. The margin is doable in a 1-1/2mi race. Looks more impressive since the opponents were not strung out all the way back.
A real wow was the 2009 UN Handicap by winner Presious Passion. Opposite, almost, running all out on front so early and holding on to win. Early part of the race was like Secretariat’s Belmont and what it must’ve been like to see Man O’War in many of his.
BTW, this was my birthday! ;-)
