He'll do something. It won't involve lifting a hoof.....but whatever it is it will be something.

Lopez took daaher out of the race then almost won, but at that point both were exhausted and the distance horse -Moonshine, kind of one paced it for the win. Evening Attire was flat.

Daaher faced a faster pace early, he faced a second turn, and he packed it in like he did in the Donn.

To be honest, I did think that he was much too good for this field to lose but there was no way that I thought he was 1/5 better than them. This race tells me that the Donn was not the throwout race that all of the people that are smarter than me and told me I was an idiot was. People said the Donn was a throwout because Daaher was obviously a better horse than he showed and because I simply asked "how do you know that when he hadn't faced the conditions that the Donn presented", I was attacked as an idiot and basically an unknowledgeable race watcher.

Now, I haven't been following the other races at AQU today, and I'm basing this on today's charts, so the following might be completely off but:

What I find totally IRONIC about the whole thing, and it's more a digusting kind of irony, is that of all the pieces of **** that have won this winter because of inside, speed biases, the NYRA crew has a fair track for this race. I understand how it would be important that the "GOOD" horses don't get the benefit of a bias, in other words, that it's fair for all involved but if we can get the track to play fair TODAY why can't we have a consistently fair track? Or is it acceptable for shitty horses to win with a bias?

am i missing the point? it sounds as tho, even tho you said daaher was not a good horse, you still picked him to win today, albeit not at the odds he went off at, and now that he lost (even tho you picked him) you were correct in saying he wasn't that good?
