Lobkowicz Palace
Lobster, as he is affectionately known as in the barn ran, and won, his second start today at cold Laurel. He had a ding-dong battle down the stretch with the eventual second horse and it was so hard to see who was getting the best of who as the camera was showing from the head […]
