I didn't know where to post this...replies or not...I just had to come over to say I was bouncing off the walls rooting home General Quarters just now...I'm a Court Vision fan, but just had to root for this horse and the sweet man that is his only connection....I imagine the bond between horse and man must be exceptionally strong...
congratulations Mr. Macarthy:ThmbUp: :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp:

I put $30 across the board on him about 3 hours ago. I love that horse. 9-1 was a nice surprise!!

It really is a great story: one-horse stable, with that horse having been claimed for $20,000, now a multiple Gr 1 winner and over a million in earnings. Well done, Mr. McCarthy!

Yes, great story. I always thought a lot of both horse and trainer. Must be a dream come true for him.

So happy to see the old man and his good horse prevail on Derby Day. He was a hard luck horse in N.O. this winter with all those 2nds.

He sure was, ran his eyeballs out ffor all those seconds. This was the race that put the biggest smile on my face all weekend. A great story and a bit of redemption.
