Was any excuse ever offered for Texas Wildcatter's pathetic performance last out?

Was one needed? Anyone who liked him last out got exactly what they deserved.

He ran an ok race in the Gotham considering the pace. I didn't expect the debacle that occured last out.

So is El Gato Malo going to Lone Star or Baltimore Steve? Or are they leaving both options open for now?

You're actually correct here. Let's check the race:

He was running in tandem with Tale of Ekati and Giant Moon until just past the half mile point, where they continued on with it and he folded like an accordion.
Of course, he did manage to finish ahead of Inner Light, who dueled with War Pass.

All in all, a very nice effort. I see a positive trend in the form cycle.

Hey smart guy... how bout some winners instead of b*tching about supposed poor rides and retrospectively critisizing others' opinions?

All I really want to see is a competitive race.
They can all run high 80 Beyers thats just fine by me.
A group with a full field that is competitive is
what I desire for this race.

Don't hold your breath Phil. All dude knows how to do is complain and rag on other people about their opinion after a race has been run.

Why would I do that?

And, I'm not criticizing, I'm agreeing. :rolleyes:

Refresh my mind as to a recent 'supposed' poor ride I bitched about?

He's not very good. That's his excuse. Horses that aren't very good don't put up consistent performances. If they did, they'd be good.

Can someone please show me where I ever said the horse was very good? All I said was he ran a decent race in the Gotham considering the pace and then absolutely stopped early on in his next race which was puzzling and the majority of the time when that happens there is a valid reason for it. Considering he's likely to be in this race and I will probably bet it I'd like to know if anyone heard an excuse cause it would be one I'd be inclined to actually believe and toss the last race from my capping. Doesn't mean I'd think the horse would win if I tossed it, doesn't mean I'd think he'd lose. I'm just looking to see if anyone has any info so I can factor it in. God forbid, someone want to offer something of value on here rather than just blindly bashing every horse, jockey, and track surface.

I am not saying you said he was any good. You didn't read me type that. You asked was there any excuse and I said that's his excuse.

El Gato Malo
 

El Gato Malo will be going to Texas. The blinkers are on and he's ready to roll.

El Gato Malo has NO shot vs. Samba Rooster. . .

Does anyone know...
 

...Is Lone Star a speed favoring track??

Would this be a good time for me to finally get off the Golden Yank bandwagon? After the Arkansas Derby maybe I should have thrown myself under the bandwagon.:confused:

The more I look at the PP's, the more I am liking My Pal Charlie...

PP's
 

PP's are exactly what they are, past performance's. Things happen between races. If there is any speed to push the Rooster, and El Gato Malo handles the track it's all over.....
