Pretty surprised that it only got 7, think people are thinking that Denis of Cork is the real deal.

Brian, that track will be cooked on Saturday, you know as well as I do.

Also note, the return of Louis Roussel III, or at least his name on the program. My guess is that Lara is still doing all the work but he always wins races in Chicago, I would consider Recapturetheglory a little in your exotics....

Why would any owner or trainer with half a sack be scared of Denis of Cork?

It is Louis Roussel: http://www.drf.com/news/article/92575.html

He and Ronnie LaMarque (Risen Star connections thus the name) were both there to saddle him at the Fairgrounds.

If you have CD/FG log in the archives are still up 2/29/08 R8. Came in third in an N1X Allowance on the turf. 5 starts - 1-1-2
Nice looking colt and it was fun to see them both back in the paddock.
Oh and his 1 win came at Hawthorne.
