Race with several contenders but I think with the solid pattern,1st trainer change and 15-1 current odds Birchwood Road should be keyed.

Hopped up and had very slow beginning...Collmus even called it..not sure he would have been there anyway.

Apparently even the judges have resigned themselves to the fact that Chad Brown will win all photos. In what looked to be a very tight finish for place, Brown\'s Performance Bonus was surprisingly put up immediately for the place spot, with a pending photo for show involving Runaway Posse, who likely figured prominently on many a TG seminar attendee\'s tickets.

Posse won the show photo by a neck. In the post-race charts, it was revealed that PB beat Posse for the place spot by the grand total of a nose.

I was barely paying attention today, and opened up the feed just in time to see that photo, which - having seen on Twitter that Shug\'s horse had won - seemed to be a \"place\" photo mislabeled as a \"show\" photo.

I just now watched the replay and of course you are right. Collmus - who is quite aggressive on calling finishes by eye - said it was a photo for the place and named the 4th place finisher. One instant later they put up the Brown horse in second. The guy just can\'t take a bad picture these days.
