1995 Wood Memorial Stakes [13:22]
The road to Kentucky may run through New York after all. In perhaps the most impressive performance by a 3-year-old colt this year and on the heels of his decisive victory in the Gotham three weeks ago, Talkin Man led every step of the way to win the 71st running of the $500000 Wood Memorial yesterday at Aqueduct. Talkin Man did it in impressive fashion, toying with seven colts before pulling away for a 7 3/4-length victory over Knockadoon and assuring himself a date at Churchill Downs in three weeks, perhaps as the favorite of the Kentucky Derby on May 6. The 2-to-5 favorite in the Grade II Wood, Talkin Man left the rest of the field -- none had won a graded stakes race -- in the dust at the top of the stretch. Jockey Shane Sellers, riding the Canadian-bred horse for the first, and likely last time, because Mike Smith had to honor another commitment in Arkansas, never used his whip as his mount covered the mile and an eighth in an easy 1:491/5 . "I was just a passenger out there," Sellers said after Talkin Man breezed through fractions of 234/5 seconds for the quarter, 48 flat for the half, 1:123/5 over 6 furlongs and the mile in 1:37 even, while never being asked to run all out. "Regardless of what the pace was, I knew what I had underneath me. He was telling me, 'We OK, we OK Don't worry about nothing.' " Coupled with the upset victory by the 30-1 long shot Wild Syn in the Blue Grass at Keeneland a little over an hour earlier, Talkin Man's victory guarantees that the ...

Champ Kart Onboard 2/1/13 - Atlantic City / Heat Race [02:40]
Onboard footage of the Heat Race from the Boardwalk Hall at the Trump Plaza in New Jersey. This weekend is the final of 3 races for the Fatheadz Eyewear Indoor Karting Series. After I qualified 26th out of the 53 karts that entered this prestigious event, I had to race in one of the two Heat Races. I raced in the second Heat Race. I started 5th behind Glen in the #191 kart and had a good start. The kart at times would slide around and I would have a hard time keeping the momentum in the kart. The surface of the track was very unstable. It seemed like once the TQ's had completed their race(s), they would suck up all of the laid down rubber off the surface. The tires were also an issue. The sliding around was from the combination of the tire set and surface of the track. I had a great battle with the #17 kart for 4th place until a caution came out. On the restart, TJ in the #13 kart was having a hard time getting back down into the racing line. I was able to overtake TJ in the #13 kart and go after the #17 kart, but the #17 kart kwpt hopping in the turns, which forced me to go wide and that allowed TJ to get past me. In the end, I finished 5th. This was not good enough to get into the Feature Racem so I had to compete in one of the two Consi Races the next day. The weekend for me was over when I crashed in the Consi Race. I did not make the Feature Race. It didn't matter if we made the Feature Race, or not. What mattered is that we had a great time going down to Atlantic ...
