Can't recall the last time I had seen a race with a blanket finish like this one! What a thrilling stretch run. Agree Yankee Empire had the worst of it and is one to watch. Cherokee Speed had the best trip
A six-horse photo at the wire. Do yourself a favor and watch this race from last week at Saratoga. Was there and it was simply amazing. Durkin was great... when the numbers were posted, he reads: the winner, Grassy, by a nose. Second, Cherokee Speed, by a nose. Third, Good Prospect, by a nose. Fourth, Rock in Bage, by a nose.
Yankee Empire was a very unlucky fifth... as he might have had the most horse, but couldn't get through. Boots Ahead finished sixth.
