It's just three minutes to post time for the first of seven stakes races being run at Lone Star Park today. Race four, the Carter McGregor Jr. Memorial Handicap, drew a field of seven, but two scratches have left the race with five runners. The heavy favorite is Quiet Again, currently at 6-5, and with Martin Garcia in the saddle, he is my pick.
However, Southern Vintage is expected to challenge him. Currently 2-1, he will be ridden by Aaron Gryder, who has already won a race at Lone Star today.
The horses are approaching the gate. The distance is six furlongs, the purse is $50,000.
They're off! Quiet Again has the lead! Southern Vintage has taken the lead!
Quiet Again is fading! Photo finish! Was it Southern Vintage or Supreme Secret! Too close to call!
The final time was 1:10.05. Watching the slow motion replay, I can't tell. Maybe it was a dead-heat!
The results are official! I can't believe it! They did finish in a dead-heat!
I'll be back in a few minutes to discuss the 7th at Belmont. . .
