Many congratulations Joe and all connections, excellent run!!!
Very exciting, got all my dogs barking as I cheered him home!!
I just love that old gray boy!!!!!!
He looked great!



EDIT: Apparently I'm an idiot that can't add a sig, but that's Evening Attire at Belmont after the Brooklyn looking just great, he's a really cool horse.

A spectacular performance. That 12F distance suits EA. He can get into his stride and then has time to turn it on when it counts.

Congrats from here as well. He ran a great race, and it was a kick to see him closing up the rail!

Some have said that the BC Marathon will simply involve a bunch of mediocre horses . . . I don't see it that way. They'll be horses who are good at doing a long route! And isn't that what everybody's complaining we don't have any more?

It is refreshing to see a race set up without the intense explosion out of the gate that shorter distances require. At 12F the field does not run away from EA right out of the gate because they are pacing themselves for the longer test.

edit: good catch cmorioles. 12 F it is.

It is 12f, not 10.

Totally nuts that they let Phil the Power go off at 30-1...

I can't tell you how stoked I was for EA and the connections. Was watching at Keeneland and halfway through the race the entire place starting screaming for EA. I'd venture to guess less than 10% of the joint actually bet the race so it's simply for the sport of it.

EA in the Breeders Cup Marathon will be a lot of fun, even if the poly isn't necessarily to his liking.

Thanks, a little extra change for Saratoga next week. Thought it was a much tougher sequence than it turned out to be. We'll definitely play that wager up at the Spa, I love it... but I honestly was more excited about Evening Attire, and I seriously only had $25 to win on him.
