Uncle Sigh-Financial Mogul-Classic Giacnroll

I have faith in these horses training and racing in the frigid weather. Toughens 'em up.

Samraat wins it, over Uncle Sigh and In Trouble (neck and neck).
He's a game horse. Looking forward to the Wood.

Samraat wants no further than that, poor Gotham - bin all these for the Ky Derby.

Here's the race, most impressive was the tenacity In Trouble showed after such a long layoff. Samraat received a 96 beyer for the effort. TJ
