Am I the only one who thinks it\'s a bad look when they are just barely across the wire in the Oaks and Irad jubilantly pats JV on the back after just losing a stretch duel? Not trying to imply anything nefarious is going on but it just seems like a bad look. I have no problems with him congratulating the victor but could they at least wait and tell they have turned around and are coming back?

statuette: What’s really bad is when they celebrate before the wire lol

Tavasco: The way I saw it - Irad was surprised he got beat. IMO, Ortiz thought he had the winner measured and was surprised and respectful when JV won. Me Too! No harm no foul.

My takeaway, Highly Motivated w/b just that Saturday. I\'ll be covering all the Chadster\'s entries tomorrow. Glad I\'m down on him in the Oaks/Derby double @42/1. Surprisingly my double to Midnight Bourbon is only +$10 @ 52/1.

Boscar Obarra: Rail not the place to be ?
