yep, i think RRC was 4th, ask 5th maybe

Hard to take my eyes off those two and lost track of the red cap.

Absolutely thrilling finish.

Good boys all. :) :tro:

That was a great finish, I thought the Duke was no better than 2nd, then he fought back to victory, great stuff!:tro:

:)

GOOD RACE, fantastic.

He is some horse, he looked cooked as Papal came upsides him.

I think Richard Hughes might have taken his last ride on Youmzain

If Hughes loses the mount who do they get?

Fallon rode him once (G1) and won.... who else? Spencer?

I didn't expect he'd win here cause like i said... it's kinda an occassion when he does pull it off.

Nice horse... it's said with nothing but affection. :)

I don't know, but Channon must be getting fed up with some of the rides Hughes has given this horse.

The way he was riding today anyone would think he was looking for the horse to have no chance. Not saying he would have won anyway, but would have finished so much closer.

That was really exciting, I thought the Duke has lost, and I like the Bull then the Duke fights back. WOW!!!!! I'm glad I caught that, thank you for DVR's and being able to go backwards...:)
That was fun!!!!!!
