Julian Leparoux exhibiting exquisite timing rallies in deep stretch with favored Chasing the Prize to clip Norjac in the $50,000 Claiming Crown Express. As speed held up early, it's collapsing to a degree mid card here. Fractions in this one, however, were :21.4 and 45 flat set by Stormin Sox and really set up well for a closing horse. Chasing the Prize usually doesn't rally from that far back, but Leparoux, sensing the quick fractions, settled him back a bit further than usual and swept the tiring field late. Outstanding ride.

Express
Early money right now is on the 8 and 9: Ready's Rocket and Chasing the Prize, my top two choices. This is a pretty deep field though, and any one of several could win this one. This could be the race that we get a boxcars payoff. With ten going six, a lot can happen!
Attendance is oustanding with over 14,000 on hand here today. The weather is cooperating nicely as there is a preponderance of sun as opposed to earlier in the day when we had some dark overcast skies. Folks have seen a great show and are certainly treated to some oustanding performances included Albarado's ride on Mizzcan'tbewrong in the Tiara.
