lol
That's ok cause the other 3 races of the contest I went with the "smelly socks" instead of the hat.

3 horrible picks on my part Dean. :(

Tom Proctor, one of the most underrated horseman in our country imo.

One brief classic story…

When my brother worked for his dad Willard, Tom spent a lot of time at Willard’s barn. They had a serious disagreement one day and Willard asked my brother to take ‘Morse from his stall. Tom and Willard went in the stall and proceeded to have a 1940’ish / Kentucky hard boot / fist fight to settle the argument. Later that afternoon they were talking as if nothing happened.

Tough men these Proctor’s and very respected horsemen.

PS: No, I didn’t bet the horse…:(

Lost in all of this, and this is certainly not take anything away from the winner, or those who played him, is that SHAKIS had about 2 seconds worth of trouble (a SIGNIFICANT amount) early stretch; i.e., he was stuck, checking, between 2 horses and being bounced around before he finally got clear and put in a nice late run.

But the best horse doesn't always win the race. And fortuitous winners make up for those other races where we're best but unlucky.
