Watch Out Kelso

There are six G1's this weekend, three of them are at Arlington (the Million, Beverly D, and Secretariat), plus Zenyatta returns on Sunday and undefeated Cat Moves goes in the Test. However, a record is in danger of falling up at Saratoga. Kelso's record as the oldest horse to win the Whitney Handicap could be tied by Commentator this weekend. As a gelding, it's great to still see him around. If he does win, he'll also tie not only Kelso, but Discovery as the only three time winners (He first won the race in 2005 over future HOY Saint Liam, and he is the defending champ this year).

I couldn't find videos of Kelso's Whitneys that had audio, but I hope you enjoy his 3 of his 4 JCGC wins, in this two part video (Sorry it's not embeded the video part on that was disabled).

I would really love to see Commentator win this weekend. Others who I hope to see, Go Go Shoot in the Vanderbilt on Sunday (he's going against some nice horses including Fablous Strike, Benny the Bull and Kodiak Kowboy), Presious Passion in the Million (if he gets away from them like he did in the UN, they aren't going to catch them), and of course Zenyatta in the Clement Hirsh. I hope everyone has a fablous weekend, I will be visiting with a friend of mine tomorrow, then be traveling all day Sunday. However, I do plan to have a weekend recap when I get home.
