I liked your first post better.

Glad he came home safe.

Remember kids, Latency in the DWC!

I enjoy when the best horses race period. not because of the wagering opportunity, which this was certainly not, just because I like to see a really good horse prove it over and over.

Incredibly, Curlin made his racing debut barely one year ago! 2/3/2007.

Didn't get to see the race, but I'm a bit confused about the payouts in a six horse race.

Here's a guess.....and probably a wrong one....but maybe they mistakenly listed what those horses would have paid to win.

As someone who pushes between $100-$100,000,000 through the windows each year, I found this race a cinch for the show pool.

Albarado really was just along for the ride the entire time.

He probably could have done the same thing on him in any of the "big" races for older horses going on in the U.S. this weekend and would have won just as easily.

Miraja, Im not so sure that effort gets it done against the best horses over here, but glad to see the big horse get one under his belt. Hopefully next time he runs its showtime.

I hate how Robby rides, he can really put one to sleep and get them in trouble if others get the jump.

What an INSPIRATIONAL ride by Robby A.

I can see it now: young jockeys everywhere will begin to emulate Robby. No longer will we be subjected to the WRESTLING MATCHES each race between the jock and the horse. (I realize this is a MACHO thing and we must restrain those beasts.)

Imagine, actually loose reigning horses. Allowing them to run on their own. To actually RELAX during a race. To let them finish on their own without beating them to death and causing them to duck and swerve in and out.

I can dream, can't I?

.......that is a good thing....... that works for monsters, maybe not so well with the remaing 99.9999999 % of the horses
in training. no, i wish they didnt whip horses. it really is cruel.
