Two horse race at Del Mar
 

If I had known, I would have flown out in a horse costume to take third.

What is the world coming to?

Spyder

I just saw the #1. I'd have a shot for 2nd!

It's a match race between 2 ex's. Now, if you were working with Mikey on DP'ing Chantal....they might have let you race:D

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Joker Face should be renamed Joker Race. That was ridiculous.

Yep, stupidest idea evah. But the good news is I'm alive to start my Pick 3

I don't get why they need such a gimmicky publicity stunt when Zenyatta has brought so many fans to the game in California.

:tro:

Even if they feel the need to do it, at least use some decent horses.

:D
:tro:

It was almost like Chantal let Mike Smith take the early lead. It was an odd race. I thought for sure there would be an all out speed duel.

if they really wanted to promote racing, Chantal could have rode Tap It Twice naked.

FTFY

At least the last time they did this, there were real horses involved (Woke up Dreamin). Today was slightly ridiculous.

Slightly is being kind.

I don't know what was worse --- the "King of the Ring" match-race on the bullring at Fairplex last year between Flores and Pedroza. Or this nonsense Poly match-race today.

I actually bet that stupid King of the Ring match last year -- well, traded it on EhorseX anyway - and got sunk when Flores decided to gun out of the gate and Pedroza decided to take the War Admiral tactics and rate the speed.

TVG posted a tweet from Chantal...

Love TVG's interview and feature for Battle of The Exes!!! I am gonna have to my trainer Brian at Cardiff Fitness the silent treatment...For picking Mike over me...ouch! Still love him though and think he is one of the best trainers that has EVER trained me!!!


EVER is code for O-face.

christine olivares should have her mic taken away.

Forget why Delmar would put on such a shameless promotion, the real question is how in the hell did Mikey ever tap Chantal in the first place. She's way out of his league.

Mike has a reputation as a "lady's man", seem to recall a few years ago that his move to the west coast was necessitated by this. At the time they started dating, Chantal was just starting out and one can seen her attraction to a hall of fame quality jock. She seems to be a pretty talented rider and a good sport. I actually enjoyed the race although it proved absolutely nothing except Mike had the best horse...match races are only relevant when between horses.
