People are starting to see that Joe Talamo isn't really all that good. Got the best horse in trouble again. I bet Carla Gains goes back to Victor Esponoza.

I didnt see that at all. I saw a mare that didnt like the ground. I tossed her early on because of that.

Horse never had a chance to run from down on the rail. He lacked the experiance to be able to get his mount in the clear to have a chance to run. Not sour grapes I personnally don't see what others see in Smokin Joe Talamo as such a natural talent.

He did a good job saving ground. Altered course a little bit mid stretch and hung a bit the final 1/16th. Perfect may be right in that she didnt handle the track, alot different than the pooltable surfaces of SoCal. She didnt discrace, neither did Talamo imho...

I'm still trying to figure out how one mount, on a horse that clearly wanted no part of the surface, can cause one to jump to this amazing conclusion about Talamo's ability or lack thereof. I for one will take that action on C. Gaines abandoning Talamo for Espinoza if the OP is still offering

"She was trapped down on the inside and never could get out until it was too late. She made up ground, but she wasn't able to get to the winner. She galloped out past the winner. Turf racing is always difficult. I thought she'd be placed more forwardly than she was. Things happen."

—trainer Carla Gaines sounds a what-might-have-been note for Nashoba's Key
"poor choice to stay inside when he had the chance to get outside early" Mike Wellman

"What were you thinking Joe?" Quote from Jason Lavine

Kurt Hoover agreed with what Wellman said.

Joe has lost his bug and the luster is also starting to dull. It's not just from one ride.
