Hey everyone! Welcome to the Thorough Chat Live Blog on Big Cap Day! After each stake race I will have a post with my thoughts on how the race went. Plus my possible rankings for the Older Males and Grass Milers. Hope you continue to read throughout the day for more info!
4:15 pm- 26 minutes till the Santa Anita Oaks.
4:23 pm- 17 minutes to go. My head says that Zazu should win her second G1 in a row, but I'm a HUGE Rockport Harbor fan and would love to see his daughter May Day Rose finally show her talent. But if she gets in another speed duel she'll be screwed.
4:43 pm- Obviously Turbulent Descent needed a race. Good win, but not a great win holding off Zazu. May isn't a G1 horse going two turns, one turn yes, but two turns sadly no. This does cloud my Oaks list however.
4:55 pm- Looks like no KY Oaks for Turbulent Descent.
5:21 pm- Unzip Me wins the Clocker's Corner. Could give Chamberlain Bridge some fits.
7:28 pm- Kilroe Mile time!
7:44 pm- PHOTO! Between Caracortato and last year's runner up Fluke.
7:46 pm- Fluke gets the win for Humberto Ascanio, the former asst. to Bobby Frankel.
8:05 pm- Almost post time for the Big Cap
8:17 pm- Photo between Game On Dude and Setsuko
8:21 pm- Game On Dude wins, but hold all tickets.
8:31 pm- No change! Bob Baffert gets his second Big Cap in a row (Misremebered last year). Chantal Sutherland was in the irons.
So that's it! Unfortanlly there was a euthanization in Lieve in the Kilroe, my condonces to his connections. Once again congrats to Bob, Chantal, G Dude and his owners. I'll be back tomorrow with a recap post.
