Giant Gizmo ends my day

As I like to say, I wouldn't have played that horse with Monopoly money. Oh well, it's time to get to work on tomorrow's card, and though the turf will likely be ripped to shreds, the dirt should be in decent shape by the time the stakes come around.

EDIT - In my single-minded selfishness, I was unaware that Chelokee, in fact, broke down in the stretch with a life-threatening injury, similar to the one that befell Barbaro. More rough luck for Michael Matz, and here's hoping Visionaire runs well for him tomorrow. Hope Chelokee can pull through..

Here's the rundown:

Race 5 - G2 Churchill Downs S., $250,000, 7 fur., 4+ [1:21]
Race 6 - G3 La Troienne S., $150,000, 7 1/2 fur., 3F [2:11]
Race 7 - G3 Churchill Distaff Turf Mile S., $150,000, 1 mile (turf), 3+FM [3:03]
Race 8 - G1 Humana Distaff S., Purse $300,000, 4+FM [3:57]
Race 9 - G1 Woodford Reserve Classic S., Purse $500,000, 3+ [4:52]
Race 10 - G1 Kentucky Derby, Purse $2,000,000, 3 [6:04]

Be back later on tonight (go Celtics)!
