It's beyond absurd. The inside horse was dead....DEAD....and somehow held off the outside horse. And, did you see the closing rush by the #1 horse who was glued to the rail?

I sure did. I needed the 9 in my rolling pick 3's. It's frustrating watching the best horse lose.

I wasn't involved, but there is no way on an even racetrack the 9 horse loses the race. You can tell he was stronger. It's like he was held back by some invisible force.

Looked very sore to me, he got out into the 5 path. When he leveled out didnt have much punch. Rail may be golden today, but that 9 horse was sore

I wouldn't be surprised if that entire field of $25K NYB maidens is sore. The track, however, carried the winner home.

Im not saying the others were sound and fantastic, just the runner up was obviously not wanting to cut that turn.

You're probably right.

Lansdon is probably the luckiest guy I have ever met, its just incredible.
He couldn't watch the race so I gave him the call over the phone and just kept saying, shes dead, shes dead, shes dead, shes hanging in there but shes dead. I was astonished that she held on because she looked dead for a 1/4 mile.
Rail carries her home, he gets the purse, and he loses her in the claim box!!!
LOL!!!
Was gonna try to sell her for less than that to some Mountaineer guys and someone claims her.
