I also forgot about what monsters Wanderin Boy, Half Ours and Brass hat are. Since you bring up Wanderin Boy's Whitney, where did Brass Hat finish in that one? And of course that track that the track record was set on wasn't souped up, I mean, geez the race came back so fast. And being two wide, wow. It's remarkable that he even finished the race with such a tough trip.
so I will agree that the west coast division is very sorry right now. Do you think Student Council wins the race on the old Del Mar dirt?

its not about being obvious before the race or that anyone posted it or bet on it. forget about any of that. lets say nobody saw it and we are merely trying to understand what happened. I don't know about you but whenever I'm engaged in a race that I have studied and the outcome is a total surprise I study it after the fact to try to learn. I figure if I can figure out what I missed it only makes me better down the road.
I wouldn't disparage any of Brass Hats races, as in his Whitney finish. Its a miracle he is racing at that level after I think two surgeries. The fact is he set a track record at Churchill and I doubt that it was the lone day in 37 years that Churchill has had a souped up track, and good luck in your race analysis if you ignore the racing path on the turn. I didn' say anything about a horrible trip, i simply stated the fact that he was 2 wide on the turns.
You said you're not a Lava Man guy, and also said that you think the older west coast division is weak, but I still haven't heard you say who was the more obvious horse than Student Council, that should have won the race? I have asked several times. Can you build a solid case for anyone? I have backed up my case for Student Council with speed figures and prior race review. You disagree with me so lets hear your case for any of the other horses.
