All I can say is WOW
 

how did he not fall off?

still won

Frenchy looks like he had a heart attack.


unbelievable

That was amazing.

I have no clue how he stayed on! That was unreal!

Talamo has ice water in his veins. Nearly pitched out the side when she clipped heels, righted himself, goes back to riding and wins the race. Alysheba redux.

Shades of the 2005 Preakness...

Eric Donovan needs to watch this race.

What a race. I called 2 friends and they were speechless themselves.

Amazing.

which race was this

7th at Hollywood, watch the 5 as they hit the straightaway...

All I can say is WOW! :zz:


Vic - nice call, did that get your heart racing?

Just watched that replay. Great call by Vic. My heart was pumping for sure.

Pretty cool...great call Vic!

:eek:

Some job staying aboard by Joe, let alone rallying to win the race. But I think it's amazing that he couldn't find a clean trip with only 4 other horses in the race and then he tried to force through a hole that might not have been there.

The best part about the races today at Hollywood was needing that horse to stay alive in the pick 4 and then hoping that one of the 3 mules I have in the traditional bottom level maiden claimer in the finale come through for me. Now granted I had the first and second choice along with the 4...but noooo they don't even run in the top 4.

I just love Hollywood Park and SoCal racing. They really know how to shake things up with the maiden claimer to end the card every single god damn day they run. Or at least 95% of the time. I figure the only qualification to be racing secretary out there is to not drool more than 32 ounces a day.

You think 19 other horses is going to present a problem? :eek:

wow indeed, great call

could have circled the field with all that horse he had

You were alive in the pick 4 at that point?
Some great handicapping to get that far. That f*ckin blows. My hats off to you anyways.

The MCL finale gets old. I almost automatically assume I'm going to have to use half the field when I'm playing a multirace wager out there.

Yeah I'll make a copy of it tonight. That's the 2nd painful beat in pick 4's this year. I can't take many more of those.

No need- I feel you. I'm still lamenting missing the last leg of the pick 4 on Ashland Day after talking myself off the winner. Paid $48k to her.

Keep on putting yourself in good situations and it will pay off.

from the sire SHAM WOW?

Is that the one with Talamo on Cesium Fountain? The 5th race, a 6 furlong claimer? The calracing.com replay is kinda jerky and try as I might, I just can't see a darn thing that's notable. Can anybody put it on Youtube?

7th race

No its the one that screwed up my pick 3.

Thanks guys. That's the cool thing about our sport. Even on a sleepy Thurs. we might get to see something unforgettable.

Ahh thanks. I didn't realize the title of the thread was also the horse's name. That was pretty amazing balance from Talamo and how that horse got up and won on top of everything. Yikes.

Watch on the turn.
That horse was trying to run right through two horses,
alamo was fighting him to avoid
destruction. Then the damn horse does it again
in the stretch. Luckily for JOe, the 1 drifted out
and provided an opening.

That horse wanted to run up the anus of any other
horse in a bad way. I think this is just another example
proving that horses are not bikes or race cars.
No bike I have ever ridden had that type of determination.

:confused: did the 1 horse not come over on talamo in that race?

Look at the head on.
He did a bit, but later drifted out perfectly
for Joe. That Wow horse had no mind but to bully through.

The horse winning was pretty amazing, shows Biancone still has "it".

But if anyone is giving Talamo credit thats just wrong, that was a horrendous ride with that much horse, he almost got dropped or dropped others in the field. I bet that was a nice conversation with the other riders after the race.
