LOOK ME OVER won race #9 at Churchill Downs today. Her first win in 11 starts. Trainer change seems to have helped. Wins first out for new barn, and by 8 lengths.

SPINOFF was scratched from his allowance race this weekend, so we may, indeed, see him in the Salvatore Mile June 12. He hasn't run since last September.

I hope not. His one turf race was abysmal. Finished 11th.

Whoa! ANTOINETTE entered in G2 Flour de Lis 1 1/8 miles ON DIRT at Churchill! Saturday June 26.

NECKER ISLAND entered in G2 Stephen Foster at CHurchill same day.

ANTOINETTE finished 2nd in the Fleur de Lis behind Letruska. She was the highest odds on the board, so she outran her odds. Maybe they should give her some more chances on the dirt. She seemed to handle it fine. She beat all the other "dirt" fillies. I doubt anyone is beating Letruska right now. That filly is hot.

SNAP DECISION won the The Calvin Houghland Iroquois (Grade I) at 2 3/4 miles at the Iroquois Steeplechase near Nashville today. That is 9 wins in a row for him and he has tied the North American all time record for successive wins. Pretty amazing. He is now a Grade 1 winner. I will post the video when it is ready...in a few days. Such consistency. Seemingly effortless. wow.

If you want to see a bucking bronco throw her rider midway through a race, watch this video. The second head-on view of the race shows the incident the best. I have never seen anything like that before.
