Congrats to J. Covello.  Hope this makes up for a lot of tough G1 losses.

Thank you so much. Absolutely huge thrill. Horse of a lifetime for me. He has had a lot of bad luck but we had everything our way today. Amazing stuff. Thanks again.

Jim you all bought him privately using figures correct? Amazi had him. I gave up betting on him and World Approval at precisely the wrong times after countless stretch near misses. Including one Derby Day that still stings. Congrats to you and the Team

W/Beach, they cut loose the anchor who\'d hindered progress.   Made a world of difference.

Could not agree more. Rosario will give you some head scratchers, but Geroux is just plain brutal.

Watch his ride on Oscar Nominated yesterday. Horse breaks alertly, in fact outbreaks the entire field from the 2 post. Next thing you know, Geroux is checking in traffic going into the first turn behind the 3 horses he breaks ahead of. Took him less than a eight of a mile to give up the position that the horse established for him without any urging.

Just a matter of time until he butchers a ride on Gun Runner.


Good Luck,
Joe B

Congratulations!  I thought the race he ran at Monmouth was one of the best I\'ve seen in many years (though it didn\'t reflet in either T-G or Rags). To take pressure at 1 3/8 for every stride in a super fast pace and still be running was absurd!  I was confident going into the Million, especially with the cutback and new jockey, but I didn\'t want to post anything to jinx it. I\'ll admit, when Ryan Moore came up the rail, I wasn\'t so confident!  Amazing surge at the end. Your horse is all class, and he carries a high cruising speed, that\'s rare. He reminds me of a European champion type. I\'m so glad he landed the big one. You deserved some good luck!  Probably helps to have the best trainer in the world, too. Well done to your whole team!

Thanks so much to everyone for the incredibly kind messages

it honestly does mean alot and I truly appreciate it.

it\'s a really special win and as several of you have commented, I thought the horse kind of deserved one of these.

thanks so much again to everyone.
