[quote=Betsy]Does it concern Invasor fans that he needed every bit of the stretch to beat a horse who clearly isn't a two turn horse? Sun King is a very nice horse, but the only race he's won in the last half year or so was a sprint; he's never run well against even less than top class competition around two turns.QUOTE]

 When I go to bed tonight, I am going to close my eyes REAL hard and pray for: 1. Israel and Lebanon (Iran, Syria) to stop bombing each other; 2. That we can gracefully exit Iraq; 3. people who slam others opinions to at least research their facts. Ok, No I didn't have money on Flower Alley. The OTB is 24 miles away from my house, it is over 100 degrees here, and I simply didn't have time to make the journey to bet on an even money horse. According to EQUIBASE Flower Alley was 4 wide the entire freaking race. Nothing stated about INVASOR going wide, ever. He did stumble at the start, before being put in good position. Freaking WEST VIRGINIA, Premium Tap, We Can Seek, and Wandering Boy beat FA. FA finished in 7th place, beaten by a ton of unimpressive horse flesh, and was beaten by INVASOR and SUN KING by 9 lengths. LMAO, FA lost "1/2 length"? Brooklyn, I am either going to guess that you were trying to be sarcastic, or god, please let me BANK YOUR BETS. PLEASE! Because something tells me that you don't have a clue.

... take your nose out of the Equibase chart book ... and watch the actual race. Invasor was three wide ... and Flower Alley was four wide ... around the turn ... which gave Invasor a 1/2 length advantage over Flower Alley ... and ... ... not that it should matter ... Sun King was six wide.

It is no use trying to talk sense to this teddyrex clown. This is the same guy who (under a different username) over on the ESPN board accused the people who set up THIS board of being responsible for the troll behavior on the ESPN board. He claimed they were trying to drum up business for Derby Trail, and refused to admit that he was clearly wrong. The guy isn't really worth a response. Johnny V. isn't any good? Give me a break,
