Default French Transition - 7th Saratoga

Did you see that race? Unbelievable. The horse has the outside post and goes, what, maybe 10 wide around the first turn, settles in 6-7th and then goes 8 wide around every horse to win going away. How that's a race horse! Made it better that I had a few on him, but still something to watch.

I saw it and the move coming out of the turn was something to see. Very impressive win over a large field.

Default ITS CALLED JUICING/MikShaking

Dude,I'm glad you hit but that horse was juiced up more than M Mcguire. Serpe and Contessa know how to get those dogs ready for race day. Nice hit, you were on the goodsize of the juice coin today.

Must be some kinda horse!! Had a trainer/ ex jocky tell me once that a horse can go wide on one turn (in a two turn race) but if he goes wide on the second turn it's usually chopped liver in the stretch... And this one went 10 wide and then 8 wide!! WOW!! I look forward to keeping an eye on this ine down the road...

He has hinted of having a bit of talent since last year (sorta like Her Majesty).

race seemed to be set up for a closer and him winning was not a big surprise, but winning like that!!!! i also wondered how did he suddenly get so monumentally better than that group? i know juice has been suggested here earlier and that may be sad but true. i prefer to think of it as special sauce instead of juice. just sounds better
