CJ --- those horses royally suck.
The winner went 6 Beyer points slower than American Lion did in the Ill Derby - and AL had to run straight into a heavy head wind for the extra 1/16th. His other win this year was at Fonner Park.
Look at the horse who was 3rd in the race. Horrid.
I think the clear cut favorite in the betting was beaten like 26 lengths at Lone Star in a stake last time out.
The young chick who spams facebook with a combo of horse pics and quotes from things she says to her dog - she LOVED Brass Hat in the race... and he was like the 2nd choice even though he hasn't run on dirt in forever.
Slew's Tizzy isn't total garbage - but he was off like a 2 year layoff.
I don't know man ... I think anyone of the 3 different 3yo's from the 3yo male stakes would have had a good look in there.
