Low Five!
RIP Julio Canani
High Five!
High Fives to Greatest Honour and Medina Spirit for winning the Holy Bull and Robert B. Lewis and stamping themselves on the Kentucky Derby trail.
Low Five!
LOW FIVES to all the Eclipse Voters who abstained in voting for apprentice jockey. Why have this as a category if 28, yes 28 voters abstain? Serious flaw in this process. Worse, two voted for Tiz the Law as three-year old champ. This is not subjective. If you feel that way you probably shouldn’t have a vote which also speaks towards the process. This is not new, a few years back someone voted for California Chrome for ahem, Turf Horse. The Eclipse ain’t what it used to be.
High Five!
HIGH FIVE to all the Eclipse Award winners. A special shout out to the old man war horse Whitmore on his well deserved Eclipse. Great job by him and that whole team! Authentic! A show stealer as three-year old and Horse of the Year. Shout out Channel Maker too, won the war of attrition of the turfers and got an Eclipse.
High Five!
High Five Knicks Go and all the connections, another impressive easy win, this time in the Pegasus World Cup! High Five Steve Asmussen, 700 wins at Oaklawn Park, including three on Saturday all with Ricardo Santana Jr.
Low Five!
Maybe it is us, but we are starting to see a trend with the Gulfstream post times. Is the lag creeping back into the picture in some races like pick 4’s, 5’s and 6’s? Remember that is how it all started…..hmmmmm
High Five!
HIGH FIVE racing fans! It is Pegasus World Cup weekend and opening day of the Oaklawn Park meet.
