First of all, congratulations to Titan Sooner. Great job.
Now, for those that wonder why some people have occasional problems with seemingly odd performances by Gary Contessa trained runners, I suggest they take a good long look at the future Kentucky Derby ( and probable Triple Crown winner ) that just won the NY Bred finale. Earlier on the card, Ricardo A, another Gary Contessa runner, somewhat suprisingly galloped versus OK older claimers, at a somewhat surprisingly low 2-1. Well, that's OK, Ricardo A has run some decent races in the past, and is capable of Beyer figs in the low to mid 90s. However, the mighty Wishful Tomcat just ran a full second faster than Ricardo A. Now, don't give me " he was loose on the inner " argument....because so was Ricardo A. However you want to cut it, the performance by Wishful Tomcat is the kind that make horseplayers angry....to say the least. It's inexplicable.
