That was the day they also ran the filly 2 year old stake (whatever the name) and every single one of those 2 year old fillies, except the winner, HIT A BRICK WALL when they entered the stretch. I mean, most of them were going a mile for the first time (and hardly any figured to be able to get a mile) BUT I've never seen such stopping (in unison) before.
And then there was NoBIZ, running along on the inside like a good boy until he hit the stretch and started acting like one of those fillies. Spanked by SCAT DADDY, no less.
And now I can put it all together. He didn't run like a sprinter filly trying to get a mile; he ran one of the 2 best losing performances of the year.
