  • Floridaf · 60 days in or not, it's ALWAYS fun to talk about the Eclipse Awards, especially if you pick a winner this early. It's just like talking about the Superbowl before the NFL season gets off the ground good. Brian, I'll root for Mr. C until he faces my guy, Ultimate Eagle. ;-) · 90 days ago ·

  • aj.mindiola · Once again Bejarano riding the inside rail while Talamo on the best horse by the way was signing autograph's for the fan's that were watching the race on the outer rail got beat by the better ride that Fluke received. This was just a case of the horse that received the better ride winning the race not the better horse winning the race such as was the case in this edition of the Kilroy Mile. Good job Bejarano as for Talamo what were you doing out there ? · 427 days ago ·
