Hi!
I know...there had been no mention of the Sting connection that I know of
before the telecast of the race on NBC (they mentioned it on air at least three
times). I did see the horse's name on the list in the paper last night and
thought...gee that's the name of Sting's youngest, but thought that it was just
a coincidence. I was rooting for Afleet Alex due to the Philly connection
and the connection to Alex's Lemonade stands (which is such a worthwhile
cause). I posted on Sting.com to see if anyone had happened to bet on this
horse (so far have not heard any stories of winning bettors!). I wish I
would have...it would have helped with the ticket fund for the next
tour!

Today's winner...Giacomo, named after Sting's son. 50 to 1 longshot
meaning $20 bet would have paid $1000. Why didn't I know the Sting
connection before the race?
