Disappointing

justindew 02-14-2008 12:03 PM

I don't have a trained horsemen's eye, but Etched seemed to be uncomfortable. The rider kept bouncing around.

Coach Pants 02-14-2008 12:04 PM

Godolphin is horrendous.

NoLuvForPletch 02-14-2008 12:09 PM

Not a very good showing...oh well

SniperSB23 02-14-2008 12:09 PM

Who won?

Kasept 02-14-2008 12:09 PM

Ran a solid, even 4th.. Bit of a merry go round event...

Thanks, glad to see someone went 3 for 3. All those other horses had too many losses to take seriously if they had won.

Have you ever seen a rider NOT bouncing around in Europe or anywhere else? I have seen some decent riders in Hong Kong/Japan but over the pond I have seen some comedy stuff. Shane Laviolette would win riding titles over there.

The rider seemed to be bouncing around, up, and down. Like the horse was tossing him around. But what do I know?

Over the pound it seems like those guys have zero strength in their necks, they look like bobblehead dolls. Over here, guys actually keep their necks sturdy so they can see what the hell is going on. Just an obversation

If you're thinking of making the regretable switch to Eurotrash I suggest you get the terms down.....

Across the pond.

I was typing fast and no, no switching here. Just commenting on the minimal euro races I have watched before.

I'm not sure how well Laviolette's 0 wins over the last 10 years on the grass would translate overseas.

Please tell me you are serious about that stat

He had to win a turf race at Indiana Downs or somewhere. He goes there with some nut Arlington turf horses to pick up a purse sometimes.

I thought the same thing. He was bumped at the start by the horse to his outside and then was pulling hard during the early part of the race and it looked like at one point that he took a funny step. He ran even from there, I really think he's a horse that wants to be out on the front end winging it setting the pace.
