Yeah, I (and the owner) didn\'t know it until half an hour before the race.

Good thing he won the photo.

Now the question becomes, what if he get\'s a -1.2 for todays effort?? How does the line look?? Seems to me he bounces off those tops or near tops. Maybe get a rail ride in the BC and hope for a on the board run.

Espy looked a little languid in the winners circle interview like he\'d been spending lots of time in the sweat box.

Certain that my mentioning it isn\'t necessary for Tgraph, but there were some positive things to take out of that race.

-He ran on again after a tough effort out west. He\'s a tryer and he seems to hold form a bit

-Still don\'t think that horse likes Turf or Slop and though he won, gut impression is that he didn\'t relish the going and didn\'t fire his best on it.

-Carrying the extra four pounds indicated he may be able to tote more in good company

Theres tough horses at Belmont, but hes already proven hes got 10 mark ability.

Whatever decision is made on the Breeders Cup, this is a very very useful horse. A Coup horse.
