Important thing to look at......
 

I think the Gallop out after a race is a very underrated and feel we should discuss who people think will have the best "gallop out" after the wire in The Derby. This could be huge in determining The Preakness winner. Please feel free to predict who will have the best gallop out. I am working on creating "gallop out figures" and plan on using them as a handicapping tool in my arsenal.

I am hoping to get some feedback from people on here, especially the person responsible for starting the thread 2 weeeks before The Derby on whether or not we will have a sloppy track for The Derby.

A good gallop out includes cigarettes and staying around for an hour or so to cuddle.

the fourth place horse will have the best gallop out. but he'll skip the preakness in order to be fresh for the belmont. this will anger those betting this angle, especially if the gallop out winner is a sprinter/miler type. they will wail and gnash their teeth while raging that said horse will not be able to benefit from the 'tight turns at pimlico'.

lmao!!!


you know, i litter my life with enough racing terms...now i'll never view that gallop out the same way again.

One so far.

lol
it's late, i've been drinking....it's best to ignore me.

of course, unkind folks would say that even if it was early and i was sober.

Thats ok, there will be more. Never underestimate the brilliance on DT.

well, i hope you didn't want a specific name just yet. i have to wait til jerry bailey can explain in excruciating detail how every moment of the race will unfold. then i'll know who to pick.

Atomic Rain.. it won't be just the best gallop out.. it'll be a courageous one..

0000000000

It won't be Quality Road or Square Eddie.

I would guess the best gallop out will be the most juiced horse that doesn't get burnt up in the pace.

:tro:

My money is on the guy in the infield running from the cops

I don't run, I negotiate.

Galloped-Out
 

From my understanding the instructions from a trainer to jockey has more bearing on this factor, such as an extra work after race for stamina, or if horse has been idle for a while, and needs extra work. I still think it's due to the condition of the brake shoes like Dunkirk's problem(..lol just kidding) we need to ask Chuck Simon he would know more about why horses do this.

Dunkirk will win huge based on the gallop out...;)

Explain this reasoning, i'm not sure i follow you.

I'm simply teasing someone. No real reasoning required. Thus the ;)

10-4 gotcha, i'm not to hip to the little smilies, and their meaning. I'm going all in on the West coast horses and will take the brunt of it if i'm wrong, if i'm right people won't be able to stand me on here with i told you so..lol

The gallop-out figs will be :$:
