A great drive by Luke McCarthy to win on The Gold Ace last night. I really thought this horse might have lacked a bit of guts when it came down to a fight, but he put that to rest against one of the all time toughest horses we have ever seen in Smoken Up. Another great run by Old Trigger and he just never ceases to amaze, Luke attacked at the exact right time and at first it seemed like suicide to take Trigger on in this fashion as when it comes down to a dog fight, Trigger wins 9 out of 10 times. Pretty disappointed with Restrepo who appeared to have a good camp on them and appeared to be bolting.
