Using that theory. Spanky Come Home is a good bet against next time.

I bet all sorts of horses with the bridge jumping... after a horse blows the turn, and all the shenanigans, the favorite hits the board and I rip. GRR!!

I agree the 6 should of been DQed but from what I saw what he did was more impressive then what Tiago did. True, the 6 was the cause of the trouble but it was still amazing...he basically bolted, stopped, started and then won. I didnt have any $ on the race so my glasses are not colored....

I agree with Root. But really the whole final 1/4 was slower than an average harness race at the Meadowlands..Most of you youngones wont remember this, but back in 86' Broad Brush completely blew the turn in the PA Derby and after Cordero got a weiner from the hotdog stand he came back and was a drawing away winner...

How about Broad Brush in the 1986 Pennsylvania Derby..watch that race!!!

He is such an interesting horse. There are stories that his owner would take him for rides in the trailer much like you'd take your dog for a ride to make him happy.

Time Squared....unfortunately reminded me of Canteen, no mind on the matter although he did get interested once Spanky got back into the race. Break wasn't that good and he did get slightly taken up at the top of the stretch when Tiago won...so I guess there is room for improvement...I just hoped for a lot more.

That's hilarious. Great article.

What's really weird is that Gonzales had another do that exact same thing last year in a stakes race at Oaklawn. It was almost identical. Both the horse today and the horse at Oaklawn bolted at the top of the stretch and then again at the 1/8th pole. And both horses then came back on. The one at Oaklawn ended up running 2nd.

Now I remember who the horse was at Oaklawn. It was Miss Norman. The race was the $250,000 Fantasy Stakes.
