Sorry power outage. Ninety degrees here on the mountain and humid enough to cause the eggs in the fridge to sweat!

No matter short version. The players: Topic, Bright Thought, and Star Spangled. The tosses; the rest.

The enigma: Bright Thought. Jorge cannot read the condition book and backed into this homer. 5yo Hat Trick ridgling got very good then took a hundred or so days off then shipped to take on wise dan! Dumb. Then he did it again! Owners/ breeders finally gave the horse to a solid conditioner and can he turn a year of training aroung in a month? This horse has always run off in the am and Phil is apparently using check reins? He can be the pace if they decide suc a very tough call for the capper.
