Commentator has always been one of my very favorite racehorses. Been following him since I got serious about racing in 2004-5. Of course, his Whitneys really blew me away, but his consistency- oh what a campaigner. The two 119 Beyers last year were the highest of any racer I think. His leading the post parade before his namesake race at Saratoga was so thrilling for me - akin to Funny Cide's back in the day. How cool NYRA named a race after him! If anyone knows how to reach Sheltowee Farm where he's currently retired, please reply, and thanks very much!

Hope Commentator enjoyed his "key to the city" & is off to a happy & comfortable retirement.

Thanks for your updates from the Spa-almost as though there.Ironically Mena can not ride at Saratoga but he can at Ellis.Garcia,on the other hand,is disqualified and susupended but allowed to ride.Stewards have been emasculated by inept wager boards.Thank God Ian Wilkes got the grade 1 so deserved.

I never paid much attention to Commentator because I didn't get serious about racing until Curlin came along. He sounds like a great horse though, and his 'fete' could be a great way to perk interest in racing. Was it on Saratoga news at all, since the mayor was there? Hot Dixie Chick responded beautifully and Beautician had good form too. Needs to mature. I suppose everyone was recovering from a certain dark bay filly with a "broken" blaze.
