Default ToFP VS Pachito The Che

Now THAT was horse racing.

What an epic race to watch ... two former cheapies with alchemist trainers going head-to-head almost the entire way and neither letting up after a 43.26 half mile.

When that 43 flashed on the screen, it was like..."Wow!"...one for the ages for sure.

Just play against him next time. Last year off his big effort, he was an unsound mess the rest of the year.

I can't believe this race isn't getting more love.

This was like a Gatti VS Ward toe-to-toe brawl between two bitching sprinters.

How many thousand times more fun to watch was it than one of those high profile Grade 1 synthetic routes where everyone trots along early, the field bunches up, and a looping winner takes it?

Those races are the equivlant to watching great defensive fighters with big nerf gloves and headgear on skillyfull dance, duck, and jab in a super oversized ring. A pitty pat contest.

Sometimes I wonder about you guys.

How many of you sip on Cosmo's through a straw and smoke Virginia Slims?

Hey, some us mentioned it in the main Sunshine Millions thread! Yes, it was a really fun race. My favorite of the day. I suspect the lack of enthusiasm has less to do with the 43 half and more to do with the exacta returning what, $10?

Cosmos are soooo 1998, btw.
