I'm pretty sure TVG is covering the races there.
If not, it's the ADW signal.

Highly contentious race

Tepin is trading 6-1 on BF (third choice)

Belardo and Ervedya are both trading at 9-2 (co-favorites)

Unfortunately our ADWs, Xpressbet and Twinspires, don't co-mingle, so Tepin will probably be about 3/5 for us stateside bettors.

And Tepin wins it for America.

Quite a horse.

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!! What a horse. And we got 3-1.

What's more amazing was that she was 6-1 with some bookmakers in England. The price went up when the ground was listed as soft even though her two best races were on softer turf. She's the best American female turf horse I've ever seen. Well at least at a mile she is.

That was beautiful. Very happy with 3-1.

[SuperPickle]

Possibly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

That being said the price is nothing to crow about. 3-1 with no lasix, no strip, first time on the straight and first time on soft ground (their soft isn't our soft.)

Casse said the ground wouldn't be an issue. So basically you were betting 3-1 she wouldn't bleed.

That is huge. Can't remember the last time an American based horse won a big race overseas on turf. I'm not counting those two year olds sprints.

Four Stars Allstar won the Irish Two Thousand Guinias in I believe 1992. To this day he is still the only American based horse to win a Euro classic.

And the kicker is he won at Belmont the week before.

And he was a New York bred.

Also I believe he's the same age as Lure and a year older than Paradise Creek.


Come on CJ I trust you to know these things

I remember him, just don't know if he was the last

Tepin is a very special mare.

That testing ground has to have taken something out of her, though.
I'm hoping she's heading back to the US and given time off.
Nice prep race in Sept., then repeats in the BC Mile.

It would be great, too, if French champ Solow can make it over as well.

Supposedly it's the summer off. Then the Woodbine Mile in late September for a prep.

I'm proud of them for not trying to wheel her back for Saratoga.

Undrafted just last year in the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot would be the last time but before that, not so much.
