Juvenile Turf--

Win: Pluck $14.80, $6.60, $5.00
Place: Soldat $5.20, $4.00
Show: Willcox Inn $8.80

( Rough Sailing! He slipped and fell going around the turn. It turned out he broke his shoulder, and they couldn't save him.)

Sprint--

Win: Big Drama $12.40, $7.00, $5.00
Place: Hamazing Destiny $19.80, $12.20
Show: Smiling Tiger $5.00

(Big Drama led start to finish. Atta Boy Roy was pulled up after the race. They thought he hurt his leg, but it appears that he's ok. Good.)

Turf Sprint--

Win: Chamberlain Bridge $15.80, $8.20, $5.60
Place: Central City $9.80, $7.80
Show: Unzip Me $7.00

Juvenile--

Win: Uncle Mo $4.80, $3.40, $2.60
Place: Boys At Toscanova $4.20, $3.40
Show: Rogue Romance $4.20

(guess who the early favorite for next year's Kentucky Derby is now? )

Mile--

Win: Goldikova (IRE) $4.60, $3.20, $2.40
Place: Gio Ponti $4.00, $3.20
Show: The Usual Q.T. $6.60

(Goldikova made history--she's the first horse to ever win a BC race THREE times! Poor Gio Ponti--best grass horse in the country--gets beat by a girl again!)

Dirt Mile--

Win: Dakota Phone $77.40, $27.20, $14.60
Place: Morning Line $7.40, $5.20
Show: Gayego $6.80

(This was the 2nd-closest finish of the day, and the highest payoff of the day. Don't you wish you had bet $5 on Dakota Phone? )

Turf--

Win: Dangerous Midge $19.00, $9.80, $5.20
Place: Champ Pegasus $9.00, $4.80
Show: Behkabad (FR) $2.40

(Dangerous Midge ran off before the race, but it obviously didn't bother him. And he's a male, his name notwithstanding. )

Classic--

Win: Blame $12.40, $4.40, $3.80
Place: Zenyatta $3.60, $2.80
Show: Fly Down $8.60

(The closest finish of the day! Zenyatta lost by the slimmest of noses. Two steps more, and she would have beat him. She went down fighting, and is one of the best racehorses EVER. Can't take that away from her.)

Wow, talk about a wild edition of the Clark Handicap! They hit the homestretch and started playing bumper cars! Result was two disqualifications (1st place and 4th place horses), and their jockeys each getting three-day suspensions. Talk about a wild ride....
