You guys would be better served working together the takeout is tough to overcome. DaHoss for all his antics is a very astute handicapper.. Needless to say you do fine work as well..

Steve should disable the ignore feature.

I never understood being so good at something and not sharing it?

It was a surprise I certainly expected her closer to Folk Opera rather than Sealy Hill especially when I saw 25 for the 1st quarter.:eek:

Of course, comments on her chances in the race are appreciated BEFORE the actual race, but you know that. In fact, I think you gave out one opinion before the BC races, then whined about how Wait A While ran better than a horse who had nothing her own way and still won. Great input, thanks a lot.

But, the distance challenged thing is funny. Take a look at some PP's some time, it might help. there's more to this game then Fat Charts and bike riding, but again, you know that. :rolleyes:

For more information, tune into the next episode of Trips and Traps.....if it isn't already obvious.

imho... to be fair the winner overcame being blocked for much of the stretch...then was yanked wide and made a determined run to get up....then again she was one I had been waiting for to show up in the entries

The winner had a dream trip. Being hemmed in, while saving ground, as others were making premature wide moves, is fine as long as you eventually get out, which the winner did.

For what it's worth, there are no sour grapes here, as I boxed the first two finishers in the exacta.

I could be wrong but I thought she checked or was streadied a couple of times in the race...

Many horses get steadied along in traffic. To me, this does not constitute trouble.

Has Jorge Chavez ever ridden a horse that was never checked or steadied?

Payson Dave 10-27-2008 06:30 PM
I'm not looking for an arguement....thought she made a nice late run and just did not see it as being a dream trip...

What's wrong with an arguement?

Where on the list of grievances was " can't watch a race? "

For me, it would be very high up, but you know me, I only date girls that can spot subtle trouble.

Yeah, but she may have actually been wrong occasionally.

Unlike me.
