He wasn't running today. The 4/5 crowd on that horse needs their head examined.

i dont see what your saying ? anyone can say a horse wasn't running with the start he had, he was done after the start, he is a far better horse then that and with a clean break he wins today

Joe, he has never run close to as fast as Magna Graduate has. Never. To say he would beat him 80% of the time is ludicrous.

I hate when convenient excuses cloud the real results. Fact is that Corinthian had a bad start. A horrible start. But down the backstretch, he had passed Evening Attire and was right on Magna Graduate's flank on the turn. He was in good position and had nothing left. I know some will say he used up too much to get into contention in the first place. Maybe so but from my perspective, if he was good enough, he probably wasn't going to beat the winner but second or third should have been where he finished.

i think a bad start can be overused as an excuse.

ok i think you are way off, i dont think many horse's could over come the start he had, it was a horrible start he lost 7-9 lenghts, its not like it was a minor stumble, it was a disaster.

I disagree on this - I can see if it was just a stumble or something relatively minor. However, Corinthian not only hopped in the air and lost many lengths, but he also almost went to his knees. Javier obviously wasn't going to perservere once the race was out of hand -expecting Corinthian to put in a sustained run, enough to pass by other horses, after that really dreadful beginning, is asking a lot. I just hope he came out of the race ok.

The horse lost the race at the start - he hopped and lost at least 7-8 lengths. He'd have to have been a superhorse to have overcome that - Tom Durkin called it accurately - it was just disastrous. I don't think Corinthian should be judged at all by this race; that would be unfair.
