Well I for one am very happy about the Frizette.

No I did not play a single race on this card and actually missed just about everything today BUT very happy all the same.

What a nice girl... just like her mom.

I figured you'd say something about the Frizette.

Actually, it was a very nice race by My Miss Aurelia, and Nakatani said she still had plenty left. I'm really looking forward to watching her race again. She's one of the most promising two-year-old fillies out there.

I'm still playing catch up.

I know he has his own thread now but how good did Union Rags look?

He looked great. Castellano had him behind three horses near the top of the stretch. Then he finally found a seam when Right to Vote dropped to the rail, and Union Rags drew off near the sixteenth pole to win by more than five lengths.

Andy commented after the race about how impressive he looked.

Alpha ran an odd race.

I liked how he was running at the end of the race, but the rest of his performance was kind of strange to me.

I suppose it was only his second start.

Seemed to bobble at the break, then pulled that typical A.P. Indy-like "I won't accelerate on the turn no matter how much urging the rider does" run into the stretch. Ground it out for a placing, but was no match at any point for Union Rags.

Looked very plodder-like, but given his awesome debut (and the likelihood that Union Rags is a Fly So Free-type), I'm not willing to write him off for next year's classics just yet. I hope he runs 5th or 6th in the BC Juvenile so he's a decent number in the future books.

I wouldn't quite label him plodder off that. It was just sort of a spotty run of sort. A bit eratic. Here is what the trainer said later on, btw....

Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said Champagne runner-up Alpha came out of the race in good order and will be pointed to the Juvenile as well.

“He didn’t break real well, he kind of slipped a little bit behind, his head was going back and forth a lot before they kicked it,’’ McLaughlin said. “He broke poorly and took a lot of dirt. We’re happy he got up for second because the winner was the best and we were second best.’’
