That son of Speightstown can't stay it with pressure.
Tizway was a flat 5th in the Dirt Mile last year while the pathetic Dakota Phone (trailing even Mine That Bird early) won the race. That was such a hard Mile for Tizway because he's not the type of horse who can take back and make one run -- like you can Dakota Phone.
I realize people here are smarter than the tard fest I read on Facebook --- but basically, a horse with a style of Uncle Mo, Tizway, Haynesfield etc. will have an easier time getting a soft 10 furlongs than they will chasing The Factor and four other horses with world class dirt speed in a no-breather 8 furlong dirt race. |
I don't know why this seems to be such a difficult concept for people to grasp.
While I mostly agree with this post and the one in the other BC thread, I don't think Mo would be disgraced in the dirt mile, but I think his win chances in the BCC are significantly higher.
