What a brutal week of racing it was.  Since Saturday, September 14, 2024 when this Jug "Week" started on our, what we hoped would be a, most excellent adventure.  We sent eight horses to the post, and only had one second, two fourths, and one fifth.  We were feeling almost as miserable as Anthony has felt.  Despite that we have been having a great time and have met many Partners that we now call friends. And that cameraderie will continue the next two days at the Jug, and an apres-racing dinner tomorrow after the Jugette.

But still.  Our losing streak was still gnawing at us.  Until....

Tonight.  I'm Fancy Like raced at Yonkers.  Had the rail (after having Post 8 the prior week), she still wasn't the favorite.  A second tonight wouldn't have been the end of the world.  But, as the race unfolded, with a perfect trip behind the chalk, she made her move after the 3/4ths.  She lost a little momentum around the turn.  The leader actually took the turn flawlessly and opened up some ground on us... but, like the little red choo-choo that could she dug in and started to chip into the lead.  Deep deep stretch it looked like we just weren't going to get there.  But, in the very very very last stride she stuck her nose out, and won by a head.  We jumped and yelped so loud we may have woken up the other hotel guests.  But, we needed this moment.  This race.  This result.  Now our week is PERFECT!

Handicappers obviously didn't do an auto toss on last week's amateur debacle from the 8 hole, lol.  The horse has heart, showed everyone, give me a decent drive and I'll do the rest - I hit the win, exacta, tri and super.

I crashed early still suffering from the red eye flight the previous night/morning.  Woke to the urge to check the race replay or was it the celebratory screaming?  Hard to say.  Big congrats to my friends.

Well said! Circumstances have been hard on Anthony, so hard. The poor guy wears his heart on his sleeve, and is just devastated. Hopefully,  Fancy’s win brought him at least a small amount of solace.

A double digit trainer putting on a single digit driver in jerkoff Dube, while at least 10 other double digit winning drivers could of been picked off the bench to ride this nice horse.

Maybe Yonkers makes people retarded these days.

What a drive, whips the horse from his outside post from the gate, takes running start to the lead, no one respects this moron so he gets no tuck, blows first turn, then blows the second turn wide when the horse had enough momentum to hit the top.

Imbecilic bs!
