[hockey2315]

Half of the horses you named don't belong in the "weekend's finest" category. . .

ginger brew is a filly who beat 13 males... and just missed for it all

Dynaforce, was rank the whole trip and was still brave to the wire.. she should improve and be a force later in the year. You could actually argue that this horse was much the best of the layoff, JV could never get her to relax, and instead of quitting she fought to the wire

She ran 2nd - but we'll give her the benefit of the doubt because she was rank? That's logical. . . And last I checked Mott's 28% with horses coming off breaks of 180+ days.

so you mean to tell me, her being rank the whole trip did not cost her what she lost by ? i think it did

[hockey2315]

I don't even think she was rank. . . and I think she had a tactical advantage over the winner who displayed a very impressive turn-of-foot. She might end up being a player in her division this year - but she's not worthy of her own thread or the title "weekend's finest". . .

Certainly not one of "The Weekend's Finest" as this thread is titled.

Dynaforce ran a nice race but I just don't see how anyone but the winner in that race can be considered who was best. Dynaforce's trip was trouble free and while JV had a hard hold going around the first turn, she didn't behave like a rank horse. She looked more like a horse who needed to be settled into an easy beat.

Mauralakana sure has developed nicely since going to Clement. Good for him.
