The much maligned Saratoga track knocked this horse out.

dude he's a 2yo, do you know anything about horses? sore shins is a FREQUENT occurence and is not a big deal and has NOTHING to do with the track!

That is your opinion. Many others differ with your opinion.

my first thought when i saw the title was lemme guess, shins....



as for the 'much maligned' saratoga track, i must have missed that memo.

seriously, what does the surface have to do with shins?




oh, wait.....there is the fact of who started the thread. case closed.

sumitas=many others

What is your problem that you have to get personal ? I try to respect the right of people on this board to their opinion and I'd like that same respect.

because everything you say is a veiled (or not so veiled) shot at traditional dirt surfaces. well guess what, i don't EVER want to see some polycrap at Saratoga, which is a very safe surface. 2yo's get sore shins galloping on turf, grass, anything, but you feel the need to link it to your personal agenda of promoting polytrack.

it already ruined Del Mar, don't ruin Saratoga too.

del mar - saratoga.... out of the fryin' pan into the fire!

Mayonaise is a nice precocious horse, but he will need to show some stamina - at least 6 furlongs in a race, to earn respect as a racehorse.

:D that's what Sniper calls him too!

i have confidence he will actually stretch out. Baffert just needs to remember how he acheived that with other precocious types...

Bob with another botch job

I think just 1, Phone Home.

You, my friend, are very defensive about a change from a dirt surface. This horse has been knocked out after the Hopeful, Indian Flare's last race was over this track, as was that of Cotton Blossom.

This issue has been raised before, for example, here, before the Hopeful.

why even try with this clown guys?

Praise the Lord for the ignore list :D

yeah me too.

If horse can't have sneaks, then let there be all weather :) ...on that profound note I will get out of this thread while the getting is good :D
