Awesome race by Visionaire! I was rooting for him. I'm a sucker for anything trained by Matz, though!

man, I actually handicapped that race and while I thought J Be K was going to win like everyone else did, I was afraid of Visonare, his last race he flew by the competition like they were standing still.

I liked Visonaire enough to take a flyer on him but going into this race there were still 2, maybe 3 horses in there I Thought were better, that being J be k, Golden Spikes and possibly even Desert Key and Lantana Mob. it was a deeeeeep race.

He is really, really coming around. He reminds me alot of midnight lute. IMHO the most improved 3Yo in the country if you throw out the divisons.

I watched this race on the 'net, and if you're a Visionaire fan (as I am) then that race was all kinds of fun! Like the Gotham, I keep replaying the race for my co-workers whom I subject to horseracing like they subject me to golf! :lol:

I've always loved the deep closers, kind of surprising to see it in an elongated sprint though.
