World Record!!!

1/5th of the fastest mile ever -- which was older horses.

He put the best horse in the worst position. That was ridiculous.

unbelievable effort by both horses. Art official on the lead through fractions unheard of, and the Beach like you said having to go 3 wide past the 1/2 to clear to 3/4 in 1:19 1/5. Are you kidding me. And he gets beat in a world record of 1:47.

I am still just amazed at how great that race was, yet SBSW lost. They have nearly two months until the Jug, and I really hope they take him there...

What I love about it is that tonight you have Always a Virgin, one of the favorites for the Jug last year, you have Southwind Lynx, the Meadowlands Pace winner from last year, and Somebeachsomewhere all running. The stars of the game, although nowhere the stars of thoroughbred racing, still run after the 1st loss instead of immediately shipping them off to the shed.

Reminds me what this year would be like if only maybe Street Sense was sent to stud, and horses like Hard Spun, Any Given Saturday, etc. were left to race.

Well,our boy got back to winning last night in a $50,000(C) 3YO Open Pace at Mohawk going his standard 1:49 mile. Sucks that we won't see him in Delaware for the Jug, though, down the road...

His race last night at Mohawk is on YouTube. Looked like Keystone Horatio was giving him a run for his money, and then as usual SBSW found his other gear with about 1/8 to go and ran away with it.

damn....1:49 flat on a 7/8 mile track is flat moving. Got a nice breather in that 2nd 1/4 going :28 4/5.

Very impressive.
