That was an interesting race. those were some tough FFA that Maximus Miki beat proving he is legit  and a big effort from old timer Backstreet Shadow on the front end. Ken Hanover looks for real. Allywag was hopelessly blocked with no shot. Abuckett and Voukefalas (who shouldnt have been the fave) were just too far back and didnt have enough to sustain any rally

nice to see the Big M have a $46K Open with top stock like the good old days

It is crazy to bet like that in my opinion. The was tons the best & they sent it in.

How about Jiggy Jog S? 1:50 flat off one qualifier. Ake is the best at getting a trotter ready...off a layoff.

1:49 score last night...I do not think we know what kind of horse and what his ceiling is. Now winner of 8 of 9 since coming to the US with his only loss a nose decision to Red Right Hand just missing storming home in driving rainstorm back in March.

Following in the tradition of horses coming out of nowhere at the Big M, there already is one this year in Maximus Miki. Should be some great racing this summer.

A little story Phil Langley told at a banquet 20 or so years ago about his first job interview at Sportsmans Park.
I can't remember who Phil said was the boss then so I will just use The Big Boss.(Maybe Stormy Bidwell).

"I am fresh out of college and go in for an interview with The Big Boss. I tell him I will take any job. He says sorry kid we are full up. But I will do anything. Sorry kid.
As I turn to walk out I mumble WELL I WILL BE A S.O.B.
The Big Boss says wait kid. Why didn't you tell me you wanted to be the RACE SEC? "

I doubt if it happened that why, but it did get a lot of laughs.
