Arc upset
 

Deep Impact finishes best of the 'Big THree', but he is only third (by a length or so). 3yo Rail Link and mare Pride run him down in the last yards. Without a race since June, could he have been a touch short? Same thing as Heart's Cry at Ascot - looked all over a winner only to flatten in the final yards.

In fairness to Deep Impact he was much closer to the pace than he prefers as the connections were obviously overly concerned with the lack of pace. I guess considering where Pride came from they were mistaken in their tactics.

can someone help me and let me know who finished ahead of whom? Shirocco or Hurricane Run?

What Rail Link go off at??

Hurricane Run finished fourth. No room to run. Shirocco is still running.

hurricane run 4th and i think shirraco finished last

I don't know.

Thanks....let me know when he finishes so that I can quit snapping my fingers and yelling for him to get up:D

22-1? 25-1? I think.

Anothe one of those terriable 3yr olds. The fillie was flying at the end.

Yeah, I was really shrieking for her to get up. Oh well.

I wonder if the 'Big three' weren't paying too much attention to one another and not enough to the others in the race? It may be that Take had instructions to stay close to Hurricane Run, since that was the one they feared. Won the battle, lost the war. (That's how Jim Dandy won the Travers in 1930 - Gallant Fox and Whichone's jockeys were so concerned about watching each other, they didn't pay any attention to the longshot.)

who on here alwasys talks about pride? i was screaming "get up girl get up girl" she ran great..... on tvg rail link went off at 12/1 which sucks considering he was 25/1 there really a chance for a score if you were there. the guys on tvg kept talking about rail link sayin that he was improving 3yr old and mike tabor was sc\ared of him the most. man that was exciting...i have got to see that live one day

Pride!!! That's my girl! :)

Congrats to Ms. Gallant Bloom who had the tri (... and yes i will keep posting that all over the place, thank you very much). :D

congrats to rail link and connections!! wonder if he comes over....

my miss...i was pulling like all get out for her to get up man what a turn of foot she showed i swear i love watching these european races b/c it is so visually impressive and just you can see the horses fly home and visually quicken. did you have anything on pride? to bad you didn't get the odds from the track b/c i think she was like 30/1 there. Congrats though your girl did you proud!!!!!

Her coming in 2nd was my payment. :)

Thrilled.....

Glad you were rooting for her too, and that she showed the world (again!) how special she is.

Beautiful run by Rail Link. :cool:

My miss even though im a guy i always root for the girls when they step up to challenge the boys i really have to give it too them for trying and it seems like she and oujia aren't afraid of the boys so good for them. what a race...

Damn, Check this out.

I go to the track to make some bets thinking a Deep Impact/Rail Link Ex
So put down 50 Ex on that and was going to throw down 200 win on Deep Impact but changed my mind when I see him at 1/5. so put down some tri bets(none with Pride). Right as I leave I put down a small 10 Place bet on Rail Link

STUPID ME!!! Never thought in million years he would be all of the Big three

I hate horse racing:D

tycharles that does suck man sorry to hear that what made you put rail link in your bets? i didnt even look at him till the guys on tvg were talking about him.
