Still no full race head-on of the Eightyfiveinafifty race at Cal Racing sadly.

You do get to see the head-on of all the race-riding going into the 1st turn if anyone missed it.


* Eightyfiveinafifty breaks a half step slow from his inside post - and Migliore quickly and cleverly angles very sharply inward to make Chavez want to crap his pants.




* Good race riding is riding as dirty as possible without doing enough to justify a DQ. Mig does a great job of it and backs off before crossing the line. While an unsettled 85ina50 is looking in the infield .. Cohen is watching it all happen in the yellow cap and gets ready to make his race riding contribution before the first turn.




* Cohen guns his horse very sharply inside to bump with a seemingly already unsettled 85ina50 and pins him down without crossing the line and slamming him into the rail. The strategic move of intimidation backfires as 85 Wide in 50 Yards muscles his way to the outside fence and reportedly crashes through two rails.



Somewhere at sometime his bit reportedly broke. Too bad we can't rate Chavez on his landing.
