Muth did not look very sound in the paddock before the California Crown & came in last.

Was a thrilling finish in the CC, with Subsanador coming out on top.

Dornoch retired to Spendthrift and his full brother Mage standing at Airdrie. That is a lot of Good Magic at stud.

Glad someone other than Baffert won.

The stretch drive is worth watching, thrilling. And satisfying. That was Mike Smith on the winner BTW, and he was hot on this horse prior to the race. Hence my pick, likely for the BC Classic as well, this was a win and in and normally don’t care for those. This horse, trainer and jockey I do like assuming he keeps the ride and the horse gets there sound.
