It was Pennsylvania Derby Day so we trotted off to Parx.

The Gr 2 Gallant Bob was a bit of an upset to put it mildly and if you had the trifecta you probably wouldn't be reading this as you would be off to some expensive resort to enjoy your winnings.  The first home was Madhouse 25/1 followed by Gateskeeper 84/1 and Fire Pit 57/1! 

The Cotillion Gr 1 for the 3yo fillies was won by Cliquot on 8/1 and much celebration with the eponymous product ensued.  Dry Powder was second also on 8/1 and Ourdaydreaminggirl 43/1 was third.

The Derby itself went to favourite Baeza who won like a short-priced favourite should with Magnitude 10/1 second and Goal Oriented third.
