Default It was the best of times, it was the worst...

What was your favorite win of the weekend?

Your biggest disappointment?

Win = Catlaunch Saturday under highweight (and also spotting several years) in the Sydney Gendelman Memorial Handicap at River Downs.

Disappointment = a tossup between the Belmont Stakes, and Gio Ponti's 3rd in the the Manhattan.

What is a win? So probably the sprint performance at Belmont or Stay Thirsty finishing in front of every horse who beat him at Churchill.

Disappointment...getting knocked out of the grand slam in the second leg even though I wouldn't have had the winner in the last leg.

Best: actively playing against dead favorites like Turbulent Descent, Aviate, and Gio Ponti

Worst: not having the correct horses against the 3 listed above.

Best: It's Tricky, CS Silk, and Roman Ruler/Stay Thirsty

Worst: Freaking Justin Phillip and Mission Approved. Potential day-ruiners.

Best = The late Lezcano Double on Saturday.

Worst = If we can count Friday, going 3 for 4 on both Belmont Pick 4's, more importantly, the late one where I got beat by that POS Unforgettable PJ by a head at 61-1

Best: Ravi's Song thundering down the stretch in the Mint Julep at CD, proving in her first attempt that she can handle the turf.

Worst: Ravi's Song, missing by a nostril, finishing 2nd, needing 1 more step for the win

Nicely written and well-deserved piece. I'm so glad you posted it or I would have missed it.

He is once in a lifetime.

Catlaunch makes his 95th start in the 7th race tomorrow at RD.

Can he four-peat?

The weather might be hot, but we've got the coolest t-shirt in town. Join us this Saturday for our T-Shirt giveaway celebrating our Hometown Hero - Catlaunch! This scrappy horse has been training at River Downs since he was a 2-year-old. Last year at 10 years of age he eclipsed the $1 million mark and was crowned Ohio Horse of the Year for the third time.

The t-shirt features a full-color photo of the champ who will be paraded between races on Saturday by his trainer Ivan Vazquez. To get your collector's t-shirt, purchase a live River Downs program and redeem your coupon at The Regular Guy Pub in the grandstand. Supplies are limited, gates open at 11:30 a.m. and live racing scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m.

Someone alert Calzone Lord.
