You did it! ; )

So, here I am, checking in...

I think I've narrowed my choices down to Tapit or Lion Heart...

I couldn't get the url posted right in my opening thread - no way could I load an image (well I guess I could eventually but the race would be over by that time and everyone would be in bed).

Yeah... The visual beauty of horses is 90% of the attraction imho. : )

I'm sure others will post some in this thread too, but til then, Threat Matrix posted lots of pics on the pre-race thread.

I like Pollard's Vision (sentimental) too.

It just started raining there and Pollard's Vision does well on a muddy track.

OK, the hats and clothes are fun to see too, lol.

But, for some reason, there is no sight more beautiful or touching to me than a running horse.

Amen to that - and, I might add, the most wonderful high in the world is riding atop a galloping horse!

Little bit, I cant figure how how they dry the track, if it is dry down below Lionheart may not be the favorite.

They have a way of drying the track that makes the top wet, but the bottom dry.

But if there is a torrential downpour all bets are off..

Is Lionheart's father a mudder? (Sorry, I've waited all day to use that dumb joke.)
