Yep! I watched that race, Wesley had said Golden Pal might be the best horse he’s ever trained.

"He's something special, this guy. I think we just got a little peek at it," Ward said. "From everything we've seen here, they're coming into his homecourt like Michael Jordan in the United Center in the Breeders' Cup this year. He's a very, very nice colt. I'm very thankful for the owner. He's afforded me the time that myself and my team has needed, and this horse had some issues and my team has really worked hard on this guy. He's so fast and he's so gifted. To get him to this point is special."

  I absolutely love that somebody named their horse Fauci!!!!!!

Me too!!  And Fauci is a good racehorse!

That name, Best Pal, I love it.  Bet it’s a name.....and a horse..  we remember for a long time.   So exciting when a very good horse comes along!!

Hey, Jess’s Dream has his first winner today!  Restofthestory, race 5 at Gulfstream.  And she was quite impressive!!

I’ll have to go watch my recording thanks!!!

That is awesome!

Chart says she hit the gate but I didn’t see it. She must have bounced right off it cause she was out of there like she was shot out of a canon! Impressive yes! Running style more like grandma and not daddy.:)

I thought so too on the running style.  Shades of Rachel.

Yep! Lighter build- that MDO really carries thru generations!
