After reading Steve Haskin's column, I think I'll take Twisted Tom at 20-1... :wink:
Looking at his photo under his pedigree, handsome guy!

At this point, I like Tapwrit, Epicharis and J Boys Echo. We'll see what transpires in the next couple of days.

Placed a win/place/show on Twisted Tom, and a win bet on J Boys Echo and Patch. I went strictly for the longshot odds... no idea who will win it today. We will see! Looking forward to Songbird's race in a couple of hours, too.

Good luck, everyone!

Yay, Patch! Guess the favorites paid off today, nice stretch run for both...
And kudos to the jockey on Hollywood Handsome for staying on... holy moly!

Patch cost me the trifecta!
Glad they all came home safely.

Patch ruined our tri as well... I had Tapwrit all the way oh well.
