Backarapper Stakes - 10F - G3
Win: Proteus Prince
Place: Nocturnal Runaway
Show: Refute

[Cruisey]

Can I have feedback on Refute please? It seems as if no matter what race i throw him in he's not performing like the same horse anymore.

[Sammy]

Refute is an amazing horse this race does not affect him in my eyes Cruisey. Proteus Prince surprised at the end and Refute just couldn't pass them today. He will come around just give it time.

Argent Stakes - 7F - G4
Win: Inferno
Place: Secret's Surprise

Perhaps with more races this season Secret's Surprise may have stood out more today. I liked Inferno here for the win today, I think Secret's Surprise just needs a few races to get back into the swing of things as she hasn't ran a race since April.

Queens Gate Stakes - 10F - G2
Win: Calypsos Fury
Place: Miss Josephine

[Ripley]

Cacafogo Prospect - 10F - P
Win. Wild Havoc
Place. Patriot
Show. Incineration

Incineration/Patriot need their pedigrees updated. CC, you're missing Notorious as Incineration's half-sibling.

CARELESS JEWEL STAKES* - 10F - G2+G1 F/M
Win. Restricted Access (nose)
Place. Battle Wings (neck)
Show. Shenanigans

[Ripley]

QUALITY ROAD STAKES* - 10F - G2
Win. Speak Easy
Place. Ultimate Revenge
Show. Baciami

[Ripley]

Storytime Prospect - 10F - P
Win. Proletariat
Place. Nutcracker Suite
Show. Royal Charm
Fourth. Indigo Dream


Indigo Dream: I see this colt doing better at less than 10 furlongs. He doesn't have the pedigree to match with true distance horses over the classic distance as a prospect horse.

WOODFORD RESERVE TURF CLASSIC*
WIN Divided Notion
PLACE Call Of The Wild 
SHOW Take Flight
fourth Night Goddess

[Kenren]

EDDY COUNTY STAKES*
WIN Hellfire
PLACE Coincidence
SHOW Sugar Demon
fourth Enrapture
fifth Quick Silver
sixth Avengeable

This was a big race packed full of talent, but in the end three were going to finish in the money and three had to finish outside of it. The top three seemed the strongest competitors to me in this field, though that obviously doesn't mean that the other three are bad, or wouldn't have won this race if things shook out differently. I personally think Avengeable should stick to smaller fields/undercards for now, because though he has those impressive HOTY wins at the beginning of the year, his record reads very inconsistent right now and that's going to work against him in these massive fields.

INVASOR STAKES* - 9F - G3-G1/ OPEN
Win: Mourning Passion (head)
Place: Anodyne
Show: Ventura (head)
4th: Flashpoint

This was a hard race to judge and everyone deserved the win here but in the end only one horse could take this. Mourning Passion and Anodyne broke quick and they basically played around with each other for the whole race. In the stretch they quickly separated themselves from their closing competition and had what could be described as a. Stretch duel of the year. Mourning Passion got up in the final strides to take this by a head. This was an all star field guys.

-freaking out a little- I'm so glad Mourn's back in winning form!!!
