NOTE: So that they don't have to cross the muddy dirt,this race will actually be 1 7/8ths going around 'n around on the main turf course.
I'll go with the mare Energia Fribby for Drysdale @ 4/1, what say you?
I am also going with a mare, but with the Uruguayan Generosidade.
Shirreffs is conservative with campaigns as the norm, but is running Blingo back on a week's rest after a 3rd in the Tokyo City last Sunday. That's interesting in itself.

I did notice that. It's especially noteworthy because Blingo is a seven-year-old with what, 17 starts?
What? Not a word about this race? Did everyone take a bath and have their high school reunion held in their bathroom at exactly the same time?
I caught the race, but I've been Real World busy since the card ended. Sorry.
Congrats to Tyler and Ron McAnally, who clearly has not forgotten how to train a turf stayer.
Oh, I'm not yelling. I just thought it funny that everyone was planning on unloading their wallets on the mare that was 2nd, Generosidade (Uru), and no one said a thing about the race. I caught a replay and the winner impressed me, too.
Set a new course record, too!
At 15 furlongs? That is a record that is likely to stand for a long, long time.
McAnally is one of the great trainers for distance. He also gets a lot of stock from South America.....Barry Irwin likes these too.
Every year I wish that he would enter a horse in the derby but I know his thing is turf.
He grew up in an orphanage. He has given many horses a chance that everyone else thought was a hopeless case. Reminds me of Seabiscuit's trainer.
I missed the darn race! Not at all surprised though, I would have just bet whatever horse had his name on it.

I was really happy for him. He looked tickled to be in the winner's circle. Good on him! John is smiling somewhere. Or sneering down!
