The dark horse (black or gray, not sure) Mr. Holmes looked about as beautiful as a race horse can look– seemed so obviously a higher class than his buds, but finished last. The races before had been much as you said, not much value: everyone was choosing the same horses and they were winning and not paying much. The payout on your superfecta, if it had all fit together, was only $37. I thought it was going to work, too. Uffizi looked authoritative but a little scuffy in the paddock.

I don’t know what happened to Johnny Eves, but Gomez stood up on him in the early stretch. Hopefully nothing went awry.

I didn’t get a chance to look at the PP’s for the race, but Johnny Eves really started getting good around this time last year. I’ll be keeping an eye out for him.
