High Five / Low Five
High Five!
The Stephen Foster and Fleur de Lis at Churchill Downs could not have been better. Impressive performances by Tom’s D’ Etat and Midnight Bisou. High Fives to all the connections. High Five Santiago and his connections for a smart win in the Irish Derby.
High Five!
A Big High Five to Perry Ouzts. Winning races on racehorses is no easy task. Winning at 65 years old is an accomplishment and a half! Way to do it Perry! 5 wins at Belterra Park. Wow!
High Five!
High Five Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby. You just knew by pushing the race out until September 5th they’d get some spectators in there. Mission accomplished. Well played.
High Five!
HIGH FIVE Bill Mott, 5000 wins and counting! What can you say? One of the best! We are gonna throw a HIGH FIVE to Santa Anita Track Announcer Frank Mirahmadi. He didn’t hesitate to call Ax Man the winner live in a tight head bob photo in the 7th race at Santa Anita Saturday. Frankly, it was a nice call and lots of announcers would have hedged.
High Five!
High Five Frankie Dettori who owned Royal Ascot on Saturday. he took the Group 1 St James on Palace Pier, the Group 1 Coronation Cup on Alpine Star, and the Queen Mary on Campanelle. High Five Wesley Ward, another Royal Ascot win with Campanelle, a Gulfstream Park maiden breaker. The St. James was about as an exciting race as you’ll see as Witicha under Ryan Moore and Pinatubo under William Buick fought it out with Frankie and Palace Pier.
High Five!
Stradivarious, John Gosden, and Frankie Dettori, another Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, what can you say? A masterpiece. High Five! A High Five to Battleground and all the connections. The first foal of Found wins his second start racing uphill towards the finish in the straightaway Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot. The son of War Front looks like a nice one!
High Five!
High Five to Her Majesty the Queen. Another winner at Royal Ascot as her Tactical took the aptly named Windsor Castle today!
Low Five!
No way should Ryan Moore have received days for the ride on Circus Maximus. He rode a great race to win it and had he done anything differently they likely don’t win.
High Five!
High Five Circus Maximus, Ryan Moore and all the connections, they put on a show and won a heck of a horse race at Royal Ascot in the Queen Anne. Terebellum gave him all he could handle in a thriller that ended in a photo won by Circus Maximus coming back again. Frankie Dettori and Terebellum get a High Five as well. Great racing and riding.
