I had glanced at his race record and missed the "AP" and lumped it with the "Aqu's."

I've been pretty busy today.


I guess from reading here that Rachel Alexandra did not win in a short field that most here seemed to think was a walkover?

The winner paid $45?

If Mike Smith is nothing else, he's a helluva jockey.
