I am becoming a huge fan of Eagle. He is a little warrior.
Majestic Harbor had his way around the track in a 4-horse field, but I thought Eagle ran well considering he was up against it.

Hi Cree,
He is a hard knocker...but I'm starting to worry about his soundness, he ducked in two back, then failed to switch in a timely manner yesterday?? I do hope he makes his final goal, the New Orleans Handicap a winning one....he gets an additional 1/16th of a mile and under the handicap conditions, I'd expect Majestic Harbor to give up the 3lbs Eagle gave him yesterday. Speaking of soundness, wonder what happened to International Star? TJ

Eagle made all his stops in route to his major objective this Saturday...The GR II New Orleans Handicap. Should be interesting to see if they can pull it off breaking from the extreme outside? The Fair Grounds has a great card for its final day of the meet, I will post a couple more in seperate posts. Below find the entries and PP's. TJ

Eagle was a tough 4th, up to 3rd with the DQ.
Noted that Ride On Curlin was last.
