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?

Tin Man, if you are going to the Breeders' Cup, you will be hearing Trevor, who will be calling all of the Breeders' Cup races for the fans at Santa Anita, Breeders' Cup simulcast Network on RTN, breederscup.com, calracing.com, xpressbet.com, and the Horse Racing Radio Network live while Larry Collmus, who will be calling all of these races exclusively on NBC Sports Network and NBC. By the way, on October 20th, after I received the news that Conan O'Brien will be Trevor Denman's guest for the second race last Friday, what I decided to do on that day is to do my own race call of the same race that Mr. O'Brien called at home, and listen to Trevor's call of the other seven races from the Santa Anita Autumn Meet, instead of doing my own race call of all the races from Golden Gate Fields, on the 25th.
I'd much rather hear Vic ... But what can you do?
Trevor will do in a pinch ... When Vic isn't available.
The bright side is that Hollywood Park is about to start ... So we'll get Vic for another 7 weeks or so!

Maybe we should rename the thread "Who's Going to Hollywood Park?"
OK ... I'll be there EVERY weekend ...
And they're gonna have to pry my hands off of it to get me to let go of it after closing day ends!
