Rough day at FG today.
All three turf Stakes were won by runners I could never have picked. 35-1 24-1 19-1 Lecomte day on Jan22 also saw a few longshots win turf Stakes. Throw in the Cox bomb who won the Rachel A and it all adds up to one heck of a crappy afternoon. The only fun I had was watching the Marsalis race. I'm a terrible handicapper

Are all the best horses concentrated in just a few individuals' hands? Might have to ask Robert Reich to analyze this.
Marsalis, trained by Steve Asmussen is by Curlin...trained by Steve Asmussen, out of Hot Dixie Chick, a Spinaway winner...trained by Steve Asmussen, the dam is a half-sister to KY Derby winner Always Dreaming...trained by Todd Pletcher. Momentous, trained by Todd Pletcher is by Speightstown...trained by Todd Pletcher, the second dam Dance Quietly, a stakes winner...trained by Todd Pletcher, the second dam is a half-sister to Quiet Giant, the dam of HOY Gun Runner...trained by Steve Asmussen. Earlier on this thread there was a bet about whether the race would shade 1:10. It went in 9 and change. The same figure (10) may apply to how many total career starts each colt ultimately makes...

The best part of watching the race was the numbers on the screen had absolutely nothing to do with the running order:-)
