They are showing quarter horses races from AJAX Downs - and someone named Ramon Dominguez was on a 3/5 shot in the 1st race (run a few seconds ago)

They show his picture in the post parade as the jockey. Horse won despite drifting out badly with an obviously different Ramon Dominguez almost falling off.

Sh!t thread? You bet. But it's not like there's anything better to talk about right now.

How about the most overrated horses of the last 11 years?

1. Bernardini
2. Rachel Alexandra

These 2 lead the overrated pack by a mile (or 8 furlongs if you prefer).

[Calzone Lord]

No, they don't.

Fairmount has an excellent card this afternoon, maybe we can get Alan to report on any gate malfunctions.

She was merely very fortunate she didn't run into that buzzsaw Pioneerof The Nile when he was on top of his game.

you've got to be kidding. that list contains two of the best horses we've seen in some time. bernardini was a top 3 yo colt, it took invasor to beat him. as for rachel, her 3 yo season was phenomenal.

I don't know...he never really beat anything other than a few bad or crippled up horses. Have any of the horses he beat as a juvenile done anything since, other than win a stakes race at Charles Town last week? I doubt he could've beaten Kantharos if that horse stayed sound.

He would have lapped Kantharos.

I love all the people that didn't understand how massively talented Uncle Mo was last year thinking somehow they were right to underrate him because he got sick.

The Uncle Mo of last year would have crushed this year's 3YO crop.
