All the best horses aren't American - can you say Black Caviar?

Lava's 3rd Hollywood Gold Cup ... I was right there with my nose on the finish line! Most exciting and historic race that I've ever witnessed in person!
I hit the trifecta on it too! Paid $185.90 ... Always loved Big Booster and this day ... he made this trifecta for me ... Damn near stole the win too!
I soooo wanted AP Xcellent to win this one....
I didn't ... But I'll tell you what ... AP Xcellent impressed the hell out of me and scared the hell out of me! I wanted history and his gutsy gutsy run all of the way through damn near denied it to me.
When they crossed the line in front of me, I really thought he'd gotten Lava.
I'm normally Xcellent at calling close finishes, but I missed that one and am/was very happy I did.
Your boy AP may not have gotten the win, but he certainly did you proud.

And speaking of one of the greatest, I fondly recall starting a thread "over there" entitled "Zenyatta, the next Personal Ensign" after watching this race. Everyone thought I was nuts.

. . . I thought Strong Mandate ran huge, given he was rushed to the lead, went about 6 wide on the first turn, and set a strong pace.
Not sure what happened to Havana. Did he tire or just stop running after he made the lead?
New Year's Day will never get a better trip. His win was nowhere as good as it looked, IMO.

I have to freak out here. I love this horse. She always fires even when everyone thinks she shouldn't. (Juvenile Fillies, Kentucky Oaks.) I am ecstatic right now.
Anyone else a fan?
