You made a mistake ... and Rollo Tomasi stole your candy and went five hole on your goalie.
It happens. I've been dunked on by Rollo before.
But instead of just brushing it off and moving along... you pulled the goalie and came with the throw as much crap at the wall and hopefully something sticks offense.
It didn't work ... and now I have an empty net to shoot at.
Here's a recap of April 4th '92 at Santa Anita:
Race #1: Turf
Race #2: 32K older male claimers went 8.5fs in 1:42.76
Race #3: Turf
Race #4: N1X alw race for fillies went 6fs in 1:09.75
Race #5: Santa Anita Derby went 9fs in 1:49.25
Race #6: a MSW race at 6.5fs went in 1:16.01
Race #7: Turf
Race #8: San Bernardino went 9fs in 1:47.33
Race #9: a MSW race at 6.5fs went in 1:16.56
You're claiming that a variant should have been split. Well, at what point in the card exactly?
32K older male claimers ran a 95 Beyer in race 2 - A. P. Indy ran a 95 Beyer in race 5 - and Another Review ran a 114 in Race #8.
You're basically arguing that the track was very fast for the first two dirt races ... and someone slowed the speed of the track down markedly for the Santa Anita Derby ... but just minutes after the SA Derby... the track had magically returned to the same speed it was just minutes before the SA Derby.
The only rational thing you could have attempted to argue is that a timer malfunction occured.
I've already discussed how the winner was scratched from his next race - and the 2nd and 3rd place horses didn't win a single race the rest of the year ... but here's a recap of the rest of that field:
4th place finisher Hickman Creek - came out of the race with an injury and was sidelined the rest of the year. Failed in his next 5 starts - all at the N2X alw level.
5th place finisher Fax News - was soundly beaten in each of his next 7 starts
6th place finisher Solid Turth - made his next start in a 50K claimer and finished 7th
7th place finisher Proud Memories - Was beaten 16 lengths in a MSW race his start before the SA Derby - was beaten 15 lengths in the SA Derby - and was 9th beaten 10 lengths at the MSW race level his start after the SA Derby.
