I agree with you. However, what is so much different between Birdstone and tale of ekati going into this race? or Royal assault and Anak Nakal?

I see you mixing it up over at PA every so often. So, it wasn't entirely implausible.

Yes it was.

YET, he's in this thread commenting on the comments of trips by others.

And, he's PMing with some dude that I clicked after his initial posting.

And he indulges the WARRANT doofus and Fischer.


More evidence?

Your loss.

Whaaah you're not posting how I want you to post.

Not the Bachelor, the Bachelorette. And while her allure is waining, she's still pretty hot.

From a discussion perspective, nothing. However, even though Birdstone was definitely a better beast than Tale of Ekati, I have no problem with anyone making a case for Tale of Ekati at 30-1- he's a G1 and G2 winner in NY and did finish a decent 4th in the Derby.

Royal Assault wasn't in the same zip code as Smarty Jones and Anak Nakal won't be either with Big Brown (although as Royal Assault did, a clunk up 3rd isn't crazy thinking- in fact I think that's exactly where I think he'll finish.)

I would like to know how this bike race translates to a horse race.

:D

The guy in yellow had a bad trip.

Is that Gomez on the far left riding the rail? Good ride.

I pulled up the chart.

"The rider of the 4 horse swung wide to the outside rail to alertly avoid the traffic. The race was later declared a no-contest with most of the field going down on the far turn." :D

Your picture finding ability is grade 1 caliber.

Notice the PAST TENSE.:rolleyes:

I'm just ****ing around.

"There are no trips in slow races"

There was one death out of that accident ... I would say it's the bastard on the left riding the rail.

It was a big advantage to be the lone speed in that race.

Fatman herds the pack illegally.
He is riding the car... steering's a little loose.
Steward's inquiry DQed him.
He was the lone speed in the race.
So the ride was a bad one.
For all concerned.

That pic was cropped. Here is the original pic...

Juding the field Smarty Jones faced is infinitely easier after the race. It's tough to pass judgment on this group until we see them shake-out down the road. As of right now, they aren't turning heads, but things change.
