I read somewhere that Robert Cole, owner of Blue Moon Ace, who ran second in the DeFrancis Dash at Laurel, is not happy. He is not happy because the winner of the race, Chublicious, is a Navarro trained horse who "snuck in the back door" on a technicality after Maryland racing officials announced that Navarro trained runners would be barred.

Don't be too upset Mr. Cole. You will likely be back to the winner's enclosure soon. Your trainer, one Kevin S. Patterson, showed a record of 30 wins from 59 starts going into yesterday's races.
