Alpha - 2012 Withers (G3) [02:05]
Alpha took a big step along the road to the Kentucky Derby on Saturday afternoon at Aqueduct Racetrack, drawing clear to an emphatic 3 ¼-length victory as the 1-5 favorite in the Grade 3, $200000 Withers for 3-year-olds. Leaving from the outside in the field of six, the Bernardini colt was floated wide on the first turn but then settled in about two lengths behind pacesetter How Do I Win as he led through an opening quarter-mile in 23.71 and a half in 48.04. Moving up three-wide on the far turn, Alpha took command at the top of the stretch when asked and was never threatened as he cruised under the wire for his second straight stakes win of 2012. His winning time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:44.23.

Ready To Defer WON 2nd AQU 1.7.12.avi [07:00]
Ready To Defer didn't just WIN the 2nd race at the Big A on Saturday, January 7th, he won it with authority. Ramon went to the front and controlled the pace after getting the horse to pay attention. He was looking around a bit right out of the gate (which was my first "Oh boy no blinkers, he's not focusing") but then I looked at our Jock. The thing about Ramon Dominguez is his hands. You watch his hands, if his hands are not moving he knows he has plenty of horse beneath him and his hands never moved. The rest is history. He won by 7 and never looked back. He came out of the race in good order and should be ready to run again in about 4 weeks. CONGRATULATIONS to everybody!

Disposablepleasure - 2011 Demoiselle (G2) [02:21]
Disposablepleasure overcame a calamitous start, an eventful trip and a desperate late surge from Wildcat's Smile to win Saturday's 90th running of the Grade 2, $200000 Demoiselle at Aqueduct Racetrack by a nose. Stumbling as she came out of the starting gate, Disposablepleasure spotted the field a dozen lengths as she trailed Wee Party through an opening quarter-mile in 23.85 and a half in 48.31. Revving up on the turn, the 2-year-old daughter of 2005 Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo began moving up rapidly with a bold outside move, then had to shift course before splitting horses in the stretch and fending off the resurgent Wildcat's Smile to prevail in a photo finish. Disposablepleasure completed 1 1/8 miles in 1:53.10 as a claim of foul from the rider of the third-place finisher, Bourbonstreetgirl, against her was disallowed.
