Ætheling & Athena (In Memory) we all got at least one, so congrats to us all. Mommy went to the track to bet the races. She made a total of 18 bets, but only won 8 of them. She wonders what happened to some of those horses! Letruska did especially bad. That is not like her at all. I hope they are all ok & were just having a bad day for whatever reason/reasons.

There are times I think jockeys throw the races.
Essential Quality's jockey had him in a pocket all the way around. Luis Saez is experienced; no reason for him to ride like that, and with such a short home stretch EQ didn't have a chance to catch the leader. With great effort he was closing in and finished third. The camera had a quick shot of EQ's trainer talking with Saez after the race and he didn't look happy.
