It was nice to have a cat to return to. Joe didn't exactly run to the door, but he did sit a few feet inside it as I opened the door. He's a little sick, sneezing and such as if he has a cold. Dr. Weiner thinks he has a viral infection.
I covered the Fantasy Stakes, the filly version of the Arkansas Derby this afternoon. I think I wrote a pretty good paragraph. At least I think. Let's see.
PARAGRAPH OF THE DAY
Santana, Jr., had Lady Apple on the rail, subtly removed from the contest to his filly’s right side, and she moved slowly enough relative to the frontrunners that her gradual advance went unnoticed by most.
Having read that, perhaps it is better understood with the proceeding graphs of narrative and quotes.

Lady Apple, still in third, was within two lengths at the head of the stretch, but the finish appeared shaped to resolve the stretch-run battle between Motion Emotion and Brill, trained by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer.
“We had a great trip, honestly,” Geroux said. “We broke right off the pace, and for a minute in the stretch, I thought we would win it, but there were three very good horses in that race.”
“I thought the big difference was when Brill kind of pushed us around the turn,” Van Berg said. “I wish they could’ve both taken a little longer to take a little breather. I think they would’ve both finished stronger, but [Smith] slowed him down between the quarter and the half. He did what he was supposed to do.”
