I'm with you on both of them winning!

Sahara Sky at 3/5     and Kobe's Back at 6/5

this one looks like a good one :chickendance:

[Man o Taz]

Well, at least Sahara Sky distinguished himself finishing a good second. I think he may like 8 furlongs better. Hoping for a repeat performance in the Met Mile.

No shame losing to a Discreet Cat son at Aqueduct since he owns the track record at 8 furlongs.

Dads cap stole that one

[Man o Taz]

Well, I don't want to diss a Discreet Cat son, but Sahara Sky was definitely the best horse in the race.
