Wow. Dortmund looked like a beaten horse at the top of the stretch and Firing Line looked like he was gonna waltz home. I have to say, Dortmund is one tough sonuvagun.

Look for him next in the Santa Anita Handicap. California Chrome is heading to Dubai for the races.

I can't tell you how many times I've turned my back ripping up my ticket knowing the race was over.... I've been right about 100 percent of the time...I would have been wrong with this one.

at my local track that would pickup every loose ticket on the floor. Told me he would get quite a few winners that people mistakenly tossed away.
