    Race of the Year! Blind Luck is a throw back horse, goes everywhere, hides from no one and always runs her race.I have goosebumps.

    And Hollendorfer a throwback horseman. Cheers to the whole team.


    BTW for anybody into technology, Blind Luck's great work going into the race was the focus of @clockerandy (Andy Harrington)'s first tweet.

    Bob Baffert (@midnightlute) has given a few winners too, including Awesomundo last night.

    This is turning into an epic series of races between these two gals. Based on the final time, I would think the Beyer is in the 110-range. It did seem like Blind Luck had her measure by the time they reached the eighth pole, but still it was a vicious fight to the wire. Why isn't The Delaware a grade one? The purse alone warrants it. Jones is kind of a bigmouth, whining about the 2lbs weight differential. Good horseman, but I'm never going to listen to another thing that dude says.

    He put me off with some of his Hard Spun "bad ride" comments back in the day, but he's a good guy, and truth be told Jerry basically said I won't come unless I get 2 pounds. Great Go-Go ride too.

    Yes good point. Let's ship these gals to Saratoga and give them even weights. I might have to make the trip for that one.
