I Was Not Looking at Lucky

Dang. I need to take a handicapping class. Super Saver, sorry bud, I think you just lost your hole and found yourself behind a wall of horses with no where to go!

However, Congrats to Lookin' At Lucky! Glad he finally got a clean trip and could again show what a powerful colt he is!

Great race! Congrats to those who did well!

Can't wait to see what happens in the Belmont!
