Agree with all you guys that Michael Wrona is the absolute best announcer.

You have to appreciate how he does his homework as someone mentioned.

After Wildcat Moon broke awful last time, Wildcat Moon breaks very good today.

Michael goes,

"Wildcat Moon begins as straight as a gun barrel today."

Good stuff.

Btw, it was great to see Comcast show the incredible David Hardiman make his call to the post in HD.

Wonderful stuff,

Whoever didn't have the Scat Daddy colt on top, shame on you. :P

Scat Daddy sired last year's ECD winner as well, Daddy Nose best.

Dice Flavor had had 4 prior starts, all on turf. Scat Daddy sires winners on turf and dirt.

Ergo, Dice Flavor a hot play. Nice ROI too.
