Jim, was Chitu being rated, or was he just beaten out of the gate by the Biancone colt? Think he got a lot out of the race, and he is borderline Derby material. That would be the 9 furlong SA Derby, not the 10 furlong \"main event\".

My adorable 86 year old mother-in-law has been with us for three years. I have forgotten most of the Russian I learned from my grandparents as a child, but that doesn\'t stop her from having long conversations with me in her native language. Every now and then I turn the tables on her. Sunday night, my wife and mother in law were enjoying some tea. I walked up to my mother in law and said \"Mom, can you believe Trevor Denman called us a winner at the wire and he was freaking wrong?\"
