Ducky Drake was really cruising at the end to win the Iowa sprint H. 1:08&5

Such a cool horse. 9 years old and has now won 20 of his 47 lifetime races.

I have seen Chosen Miracle's last two works and I have to say he has been going unbelievable. I expect him to run very well tonight.

There is a back story about him in regards to him supposedly never making the races cause of something specific to bones in his leg and some sort of surgery but I can't remember it.

Update of last nights races from DRF:

And how about 3 for 4 since the claim.Lucky owners! That Chris Hartmann does really well at Prairie after Sunland's meet.There are a few others trickling in from Sunland now this year,and maybe more now that Iowa passed their slots bill in the legislature.

Is Bejarano now Bob Bafferts go to rider?

No

Check the Baffert/Garcia stats.

I bet him in his last start @ arl.
He was very impressive but, this is a very tough spot for his first time stretching out.
Besides I think he could be best on poly/turf.

Looks like you are 100% right on this poly/turf, makes sense considering the breeding.

Its really ridiculous the stock that Baffert has.
