Default Gold Cup Day (Barbados)

It's like playing what's wrong with this picture.

Okay I know The Green Monkey is a golf course (and a beautiful one at that) but it's still a little bit weird seeing a race named as such.

... and seeing that races 5, 7, 8 and 9 = the pick 4.

... AND seeing Bribon is running there.

There's a horse named Hezbollah? Really?

I won't go on.

Good luck to Sterwins.

Oh crap sorry, was so excited that he won I didn't even see this and bumped up the other thread.

I had every intention of looking around for a replay so hopefully I'll find one (or someone will)!

CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU AND TO YOUR WONDERFUL BOY!

I'm a big fan.

"...Sterwins is thundering down the middle of the course..." *

Very exciting race and a great win by an amazing horse.

Congrats again.

wow, what a move by Sterwins. He's one tough sob to go down there and win like that in that heat.

Congrats!

p.s. I am a big advocate of round pens. Do you have them on your farm? How about your stalls?

Ya - can't believe that.

The Aqueduct turf course is probably in better shape right now than that one. Uuuugly.

That's that IDIOT Patrick Husbands. Lost count of how many rides he blew last year at WO --- and he's the top jock up there. He and his brothers make the Bazes look like geniuses. If I didn't have to bet on these Mofos it'd be comical.

Good thing he didn't need his whip...considering he dropped it at the head of the stretch....

We trained Sterwins at OBS through his race in Feb at Gulfstream then he went back to Winding Oaks Farm. They have an absolutely beautiful training facility there with a main track and a turf Course. There he was able to train backwards which is the way they ran in the Gold Cup.
