In tight traffic at the head of the stretch, about four lengths back, Xela exploded when asked, and had to angle sharply in to get around a horse, then straighten out and bear down on the leaders. One of those leaders was Liberty Bull, winner of $403,592 lifetime including the $600K WinStar Derby and the Smarty Jones handicap.
Xela was second in the photo by a head bob, just a head bob, bringing his 2008 earnings to over $85,000.
We're telling him he won.
What a race horse.
