had to jet back to DFW this AM, but hte wife went...called me to say the the winner looked like "an advertisement for a perfectly fit horse" in the parade so she put $2 across on it...I laughed thinking that he sucked in LA as the fav...well, you know the rest - my record is intact.

The one mile run at OAK is a bitch and it's basically a jockeys race. I think Hard Spun, knowing a win was out of the quesiton at the turn, just let it go...anxious to see the replay. Holthus horse ran much better getting 2nd...I don't get Teuflesburg...at all. Thinking today was his big payday.
