VI Horse Racing (BVI) 8/7/2012 [28:32]
The rivalry continues. First, Tortola takes the Governor's Cup for 2 straight years. St. Thomas took the Premier's Cup last year. What's going to happen this year? Tortola pits 2-time Governor's Cup Champion "Good Prospecting", it's lone representative to take back the Premier's Cup from the defending champ, St. Thomas' "Diablo's Fire", underdog Twisted Dream and the ever dangerous Bud White. The undercard has Sprint Champ "Really Uptown" taking on two returning to the track from layoffs in the BVI Sprint Classic, and "All Country" looks to keep his streak alive. But St. Thomas' "Tiger Glider" and the rough and ready "Kuhn Dan" will have something to say about that. Sit back and see what happens!

Affirmed Success - 2002 Carter (G1) [02:31]
Eight-year-old Affirmed Success took a stalker's pose and the inside track against the expected strong pace Saturday afternoon, then took control for good in the lane as he held on for a one-length victory over late-running Voodoo in the 102nd running of the Grade 1, $350000 Carter Handicap for three-year-olds and up -- the undercard feature of Wood Memorial Day at Aqueduct. Owned by Albert Fried Jr., the gelded son of 1978 Triple Crown winner Affirmed broke sharp from the far outside in post 10 under jockey Richard Migliore, then angled to the rail to stalk Rusty Spur, favored Snow Ridge and Here's Zealous through fractions of :21 4/5; :43 2/5 and 1:08 before taking the lead for good and notching the 15th win of his 36-race career in 1:21 4/5. A $2 win ticket on Affirmed Success returned $11.40. "He's never looked better in his life," said winning trainer Richard Schosberg. "He's eight and he's always loved running. We wanted to be inside of Here's Zealous today because that horse got out a little when we ran against him at Laurel (General George, February 18th). Richie (Migliore) rode a great race; he moved at just the right time. This horse is just amazing."
