dont know a damn thing about ponies, but read this in the dallas morning news and thought i'd post it, equibase listed odds at 4/5 right now, Pat Day is the jockey--
Bet On Sunshine, ninth race,
Churchill Downs
"Bet On Sunshine is one of the most venerable of athletes. The 10-year-old gelding has raced 43 times, with 22 victories, seven seconds and eight thirds, for earnings of $1,431,447. Throughout his career he has raced in the toughest company, and despite his age he has given no indication of declining performance. In fact, over the last two years, at an age when most horses have been retired, he has won six stakes.
He hasn't raced since November, but he returns to competition in Wednesday's ninth race at Churchill Downs. Over the years he has shown a particular fondness for the Louisville track, finishing in the money, or top three, in 16 of his 17 races there. And he has been training sharply for his comeback."
