IMAWILDANDCRAZYGUY TAKES CALDER FEATURE BY A NOSE

09/12/09 HOUSE

Mike Eigner and Lewis Pell's Imawildandcrazyguy returned to the winner's circle after Manny Cruz gave a perfect ride to get up in the final stride. "Crazy Guy's" nose victory earned $22,000 and was his first victory of the year.

Imawildandcrazyguy took his customary position about 12 lengths back after the first turn. Manny Cruz, who knows "Crazy Guy" as well as anyone, rode very confidently and allowed "Crazy Guy" to settle into his comfortable stride. Turning for home, "Crazy Guy" had 4 lengths to make up and a wall of horses in front of him. In the final 40 yards  Manny found a way through and "Crazy Guy" exploded to get up in the final stride.

Congratulations to Mike and Lewis on Imawildandcrazyguy's thrilling victory.
