WTF?

Three fields of 5.. Just no stock in town ..I guess

interesting card, you got 3 consecutive hcp or graded stakes early
and then a 7500clm before the gotham... guess they wanted to add some difficulty to the late pk4?

-bt-

i know why..but its shamefull compared to gulfstreams card sat

Ouch.

I haven't watched the paddock in a long time -- why did they feel a need to add Maggie Wolfendale? I thought I would only have to endure that torture at CNL.

Going with Starship Caesar over The Fed Eased.

Castro had a hard hold on Toby's corner in the early part of the race and then he wouldn't switch off till very late...

Because she's like totally qualified. Duh.

Nice performance from ST, but please don't DQ him

A trainer at CNL said he'd be drunk every minute of his life if he was married to a woman with that voice. :D

I'd consider multiple gunshots near both ears.

Wasn't a great race but considering that it was his first start since the BC, I thought it was a really nice race and should move him in the right direction. I'd think that whatever race they chose for him next out, he should be among the favorites, no matter who else is there.

Horrible race. No wonder why these horses never run. They ****ing suck. They could race 20 times a year and it wouldn't matter.

YAY Bernardini!!!!!!

Hers or yours?:D

:tro:


I hope she treats her father right. It would be a shame if she didn't considering all he's done for her.

Yet another textbook example of why it's so easy for a speed horse to dominate a two-turn Derby prep race.

No one wanted to use there natural speed - although Nacho Saint and Stay Thirsty both charging the gate early and having slow starts contributed to that.

Some horse who broke his maiden at 24/1 odds at Penn National two back got to control a soft pace from the outside and easily ran the race of his life. Put any real horse in that position - and they'd have dominated this race.

Possibly, but then if that were the case, woudn't ST have been closer to the pace? I missed the beginning of the race, so I assumed ST was further back than usual because they wanted him to rate. In his debut, he wasn't on the lead - he stalked. That might be where he prefers to be.

Stay Thirsty broke a bit slow - the Nacho horse actually broke open the gate right before the start.

A better start by Stay Thirsty actually would have helped Toby's Corner a little bit - had Stay Thirsty broke well and was positioned forward from the start - Castro wouldn't have been quite as focused on getting into a wrestling match with TC.

I noticed that, did they look at the start or just let it slide cause the gates were so close to opening?

Castro probably would have done it anyway. :rolleyes:

Anybody get the BSF for the Gotham?

Did you catch Vic's comments on TVG on Stay Thirsty's return. He is in love with Brethen and his blinding 83 yet he was highly disappointed in Stay Thirsty. Colt comes off the bench and wins in OK fashion in a decent time, seems ok to me, what's so bad. Was the goal for Stay Thirsty an electric performance in the Gotham?

I remember him knocking Stay Thirsty's performance - I thought Carrouthers was the one touting Bretheren though.

Norman Asbjornson had an old-school work tab that included 2 8 furlong works which really peaked my interest. Based upon that and his connections whom I don't notice too often in NY shiping him in, I felt they truly thought he had a shot. I bet him to win , it didn't work out as I didn't back him up but I thought he ran a great race..

His trainer is a lifetime profitable ROI guy in route races. Him stretching anything out is a good angle ... that horse couldn't outrun a goat sprinting. He's had two big upset wins routing - and a 40+/1 2nd place from three starts now.
