Most Impressive Horse of the day
 

My vote goes to Atomic Rain

Hard to be more impressive than Gio Ponti was winning the Man O' War.

Is that from watching the race or from your figs?

Allicansayiswow.

get serious

I was there today and Atomic Rain looked great but he may have left his Haskell on the track.

Your out of your league chubby

He didn't save an inch of ground, wide all the way around, in hand until the top of the stretch, and when asked, EXPLODED, at least that's the way it appeared. Very push-button performance.

The only thing YOU know is that I'm out of YOUR league.

Atomic Rain ran well and obviously loves Monmouth but that field was a joke and Papa Clem, the only horse with any quality besides potentially the winner, probably needed a race.

Perhaps this is coming to fruition (three months later):

My vote goes to Takeover Target for surviving his surgery today.

Oh jeez I'll bite and take the Arlington horse.

Reb was awesome today.

He obviously didn't beat much...and I think Gio Ponti was awesome today...but he was open lengths the best in that race given his trouble.

The Secretariat could be interesting.

I have to think any decent Euros that come over will be tough to beat considering the three year old turfers we've seen so far this year. Reb's the U.S.'s best hope I guess. . .

I watched the race and saw his trip. I also know the competition he was in against. He destroyed that field, much more dominant than the margin of victory indicates.

For the record, I haven't done the figs yet.

Reb was essentially the only horse that didn't run into the trouble down the lane, besides Albarado's horse who just couldn't last. He has run two good races in a row, might plateau. I won't be playing him back, but that should mean that everyone run to the window on him :)

Another note, Razo should only be bet on cadillac's from now on. He has really fallen off lately, might have a little to do with Rene Douglas going down but while Giant Oak wasn't his best today, he still gave this horse zero chance, pressed the panic button, if he is where the 2 is, I think he runs 2nd.

I would have to go with Rail Trip. He ran huge. Not only did he win by 3 lengths, but the 2nd horse (Tres Borachos) beat the rest of the field by an additional 5 lengths. Rail Trip really stepped it up today. He really surprised me. I thought he'd have a hard time getting 1 1/4 miles, but he handled it with no problem.

Gio Ponti

I never profess to be a pro capper.Mostly because I am to lazy to do the work not because it is so difficult to do well if I committed myself to the regiment. I spend enough time speaking with people who do it for a living that I know the difference between a sharp wanna be, and a true professional.

I know you miss a good part of the game..Trust me you expose yourself plenty. When you do we all recognize it and have a good laugh. If you were half as good as you think you wouldn't be so close minded from embracing the parts of the game which continue to escape you..

BTW never mess with CJ what he does you can only hope to do. CJ is an innovator not a wanna be

Pure Clan showed her class in big way.
