Thors echo was 3 wide around the turn, Dreaming of Anna was the favorite and on the lead, round Pond got a great trip behind a speed duel and is arguably as good as any other filly on her best day, Invasor was at least 3 or 4 wide, Bernadini made his move from the outside, Circular Quay ran a good second despite being hung wide, Asi Sempre, Happy ticket and Balletto were all wide and ran well. As for the jocks comments, What are they supposed to say? I rode bad or the horse sucked or the trainer did a bad job??? Blame the track, it wont answer back or take you off future mounts. Maybe if some of the horses actually trained over the track a bit they would have handled it better?

The stupidest comment I have seen on here since June.Yeah,Thors Echo came off the rail in the stretch,but he sat the rest of the race down on the rail.Corey said he just had so much horse down there..etc. etc..This is a horse who has gotten here by outworking other horses(not because he has given jocks "a ton of horse.")Try looking at Scat Daddy's race.He is doing fine until he is taken off the rail on the far turn,and was forced to make a move outside of horses.Then it's over.Same for C.Quay.He came into the stretch with similiar run as "STREET" did.Yet,he went outside,and " Street" was able to get down to get on the concrete rail.All the sudden there is a 10 length difference.I think "STREET" is a deserving winner of that race,but the 10 length margin is due to the concrete on the rail(or quicksand outside,) or both.You don't want a track that unfair on B.C. DAY.It would be one thing to have a track some horses struggle on,but then there was also an incredible inside bias as well.That track yesterday was way over the line.Those results of races run yesterday on the dirt are "a toss" to me. I was not one who thought Bernadini was all that much better than those horses yesterday,but that loss yesterday proves nothing to me.I was not one who thought Henny Hughes was unbeatable yesterday,but that loss yesterday means nothing to me.To me,they never ran.The results(for cap'n purposes) don't exist.
