Very surprised Larry Jones ran him back today.

I'm done debating over the millionth excuse for this overhyped turf horse. The freaking horse was beaten 26 lengths in a terrificly exciting race, and we're talking about how much better he is than that. I'd rather talk about a horse that actually ran today. Have a nice day.

Larry Jones doesn't own him.

Very true.

If nothing else, Musket Man is the most consistent of the 3yr old crop...

Maybe he grabbed another quarter :rolleyes:

on the flip side, if the filly had run in the derby...?

thanks, I dont follow that track enough to say off the top of my head.

its going to be a very legit race by the numbers then if it had that fast of a pace and final time. The first three must be very legit horses.

POTN 1,700,000 in winnngs, he runs one horrible race in his career and you say he's not as good as we say.

Only one?? I see a few more than that in his PP's,and you can add today's race.He looks like another Lava Man,only can win in Socal.

One horrible races and countless races that were solid at the very best...He has still yet to run a legitimatly fast race regardless of earnings.

Mine That Bird has now twice made a pretty impressive sustained run...

Just was talking to Serling about the number. Using that earlier race and Musket Man as the key, look for Rachel to earn a 104-105 here, Bird a 103 and Musket a 100. Something around that scale... Actually fits Thoro-Graph as well now that I think about it where Rachel likely came back off her -4 to about a -1, Bird a pair up and Musket a slight new top.

sure he has lost early in career but not this bad of a race . he's not 26 lenghts worse than these horses just a bad race some bumping good excuse as any

Maybe on an artificial surface he is not.

He Su__ks!Period!!

a terrific performance by the filly, a gutsy run from Mine That Bird to make it close, Musket Man proves he is solid and belongs near the top of the crop,
yet Pioneer of the Nile somehow still dominates the discussion?

Would have been just what racing needs right now. A filly that might have been the next Triple Crown Winner...

Kinda feel bad for Mine That Bird.

Now yet another year of "what if's" and "might have been's"

This is what I'm saying. I'll never understand it. I'm done talking about slow horses, I'd rather talk about horses that actually run fast races and don't need 48 billion excuses.
