St. Barth. THIS IS WHY WE CAME HERE!!!! Rotisserie chicken, liver terrine, avocado salad, cashew nuts, a bottle of rose’, and Anna and I on the beach. What more could I ask for?

St. Barth. Dinner at Baz Bar sushi restaurant and live music club on Gustavia’s harbor. (www.bazbar.com). Sorry it is so dark. Good sushi…and we made a friend of a local wharf cat (I dubbed him Fishhead).

St. Barth. Our rental car is one of my favorite cars in the world: a Smart Car! Convertible, too! How cool is that? Not a lot of pick-up, though, which you need on this hill-y island.

St. Barth. The flight from St. Martin is always harrowing and exhilarating. However, today, the flight path took us to a landing from the beach side of the runway, not the mountains. Slightly less dramatic.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - Curlin raced to a dominating victory Saturday in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Monmouth Park on Saturday while the other favorites faltered.
Curlin, ridden by Robby Albarado, was the 4-1 fourth choice in the 1 1/4-mile race. He made a huge move in the turn, overtaking Hard Spun, the front-runner who wound up second in the field of nine 3-year-olds and upward. Awesome Gem, a 28-1 shot, closed late for third, while Street Sense, the 5-2 favorite, finished fourth after making his move at the same time as Curlin but failing to sustain it. (via Hard Spun News)
OCEANPORT, N.J. - He won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last year, then six months later became the first horse to parlay a win in that race to one in the Kentucky Derby. Since then, he has added the Travers Stakes to his resume. And on Saturday at Monmouth Park, Street Sense will try to go out a winner in his final start, the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, which would cap an unprecedented quartet of victories.
The mountain of accomplishments is mirrored by the ease in which Street Sense goes about his work. The other morning at Monmouth Park, trainer Carl Nafzger was surrounded by a thicket of press when one reporter began a question thus: “Have you ever had …?” (via Hard Spun News)
OCEANPORT, N.J. - Of this year’s celebrated crop of 3-year-olds, there might not be a more versatile runner than Hard Spun. He has won stakes on conventional dirt surfaces and synthetic surfaces. He has won stakes races going short and going long. He has won on a fast track and on a sloppy track.
What he hasn’t done, it seems, is win when everybody’s watching, and that has made Hard Spun perhaps the most underappreciated, overlooked runner in Saturday’s $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Monmouth Park. (via Hard Spun News)
