Hard Spun in the Stretch

[PPerfectfan]

If you know what a tired horse looks like, he was very tired. The switching to incorrect leads tells a lot, the gallop out after the wire tells even more.

Yeah your right, I have never seen a racehorse in "person". Only 25 years, but heck what do I know. Guess him on the track today looking like a million bucks, doing more than most Derby winners have done in years and years is a good indicator that he was totally spent. Shows what I know I guess.

I never posted that you werent experienced, or didnt know anything about horses. But appraently you cannot recognize a spent horse when you see one.

Um, not trying to insult you or anything, but didnt SS switch leads right at the moment when Borel turned around to look at HS? Couldnt the sudden wt. shift do that?

Going from day old memory here...

Im not even sure why a tired horse would switch, seems like he would just lose interest, but this is getting away from the main idea..
