exactly. anyone would have done what he did. the horse did what no other had accomplished thus far. i doubt it had much to do with the jock.

The 12 hole?

Well I guess you got to give Kent D.
credit for knowing exactly how much
horse he had.

Which was around a megaton.

I don't get the adulation. What else was he going to do? If anything, the 12 post stopped any chance of him trying to be clever.

hossy... i still laugh everytime i see your sig and then your avatar.....both f'in classics

Slide in somewhere and save a little ground.
Not go directly to the front. He let Brown run.
When you saw those fractions posted, the truth PLEASE,
did you think the horse would draw off like that?

I did not.

Come on,man.He has the tank full.This guys horses aren't gunna really get that tired.There is no burn to feel.I wouldn't be waiting around expecting his horses to tire.

The Dutrow black magic is suggested?

Well,call it what you want,but they don't get very tired.It's not just this one horse.You see that assistant in Dubai today? They were asking her if this or that would bother THE BULL.She just was like uh no that isn't gunna be a problem.Can I go now? It was like if he gets out of the gate clean ,then done deal...loaded.

You and the rest are MISSING the POINT. It's not that breaking from the 12 hole DOESN'T matter IN GENERAL, anyone looking at numbers can see that but rather that one is able to pick out the EXCEPTIONS to the OBVIOUS.
That's what the game is really about. That's why we're here kicking it around, some more strongly than others. You can push your numbers all you want but the ability to step outside in the exceptional cases is what distinguishes someone who either makes or buys numbers from someone who has a good intuition for the game. Nothing more, nothing less.

And your stat approach, like a good deal of the others, is getting in the way of appreciating a fine ride. And who cares what the horse paid? I didn't bet him. I don't bet < 4:1. It's about making a point with all the WISEGUYS with the STATS shooting their mouths off and now resorting to pat positions to save face. Admit it, your stats got your neck chopped off, like the turkey.

Gobble, gobble

Nothing personal, by the way

So superior training techniques.
Dutrow has his horses do hill repeats or what?

LOL..Yeah,the Diamond Stripes race was pretty entertaining.PGRDN,they got some extra...o.k.? I don't mean to make a big deal about it,but I wouldn't expect any of them to tire much.I mean that was the original thing you were talking about(getting tired running that fraction he ran.) I'm just saying...No,I didn't expect this horse to tire today.Once he got clear...that's pretty much game over.

I got on DT this morning, slightly groggy and the first thread I hit, there was the avatar. For a millisecond I thought WarrenT was back.

I laughed and still laugh everytime I see it.

Heck I just want to know what it is
if you know, cause those horses dont
stop running.
I want some for the cross-country team.

LOL...I don't know ,but it ain't like he is worried about fatigue with them.Like he said "We got to break with the field"....LOL....GAME OVER...I mean he said that,right? Like I said...Get out of the gate clean...LOL..

LOL..He won a B.C. Sprint with a horse who's back was messed up the monday before.He wasn't even sure the horse could make the race. That horse was owned by that guy that got run over doing what you're talking about(jogging or running for "fun.")

PGRDN,you ever try the antacids ? They should help neutralize the Lactic Acid ya muscles will be releasing .As far as energy goes,I think it must differ quite a bit with the person.Some do well exercising 3-4 hours after eating real heavy(that's me...that's when my muscles have the most juice.) Baseball players eat like pigs after a game.I never understood that,but I guess they don't want to eat a lot before a game.
