A big better like yourself has at least 1k on him, so you could smash this. He is in my top 2.

Well, my other horses did squat this weekend, so To Honor and Served saved me from a wipeout. I DVRd the race as I'm away for the weekend, but I assume he'll get a nice Beyer as he ran 3 seconds faster than the Tempted.

The Tempted was brutally slow.... Unless the runner up ran back to her debut, then he should get about a 118

Running Girlamo in the Sprint instead of the Dirt Mile .. and Vineyard Haven in the Dirt Mile instead of the Sprint is about as clueless a move as you'll ever see.

Yeah, lets run the A. P. Indy horse six furlongs ... and lets run the brilliant sprinter that can barely stay 7 furlongs in the Dirt Mile.

Stupidity to the extreme.

Did you mean to post this here?

I missed the Sprint, but Girolamo didn't even finish on the board, so I assume he didn't run well.

The track was slow, it seemed. The mile maiden race was run in 1:39 and change. If I'm reading my fractions correctly, THAS finished the mile in 23 and change.......just galloping. I saw a pic of him - he looked like he was out for a stroll in the park.

By the way, I know the Juvenile was ALL Uncle Mo, but since I missed the race - was Biondett's fourth one of those where it was completely suck up or did he run ok? Thanks!

I dont think he ran well at all... Just kinda clunked.

Girolamo ran great in the Sprint. I was very impressed with his performance considering the trip he got.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that. I missed all of the races through Goldlikova, so I had no idea he had a bad trip. I guess now I'm annoyed/frustrated.........I suppose he'll be retired.

I read the chart and I guess I can't complain too much.......it doesn't seem like that bad an effort. I'll try to catch the replay later and judge for myself. Thanks!

Not that 97 is anything to sneeze at, but since he ran his mile much faster than the other races on the card, how come the figure is on the lowish side?

Its really not low... For this time of the year its pretty big, the other race got an 80... How much bigger could they make it? I think 80 is a bit generous on the other race.
