I make no excuses for EC, but anyone that has watched racing for any amount of time at all knows that race is a complete toss. They let a very good horse set fractions that almost I can run. No way in hell ANY horse was gonna get by The Tin Man today. I horse that ran 1-2-3 the whole way around the track finished 1-2-4. After racing 3 wide and I saw the 6F split in 1:15, I esentially walked away. No chance in hell anyone was making a move in that race today.

Yeah that was insane. I said "its over" when I saw the 1/2 go up in :50 and change. Then when he was still loafing around in 1:15 for the 3/4 they could have just handed him the trophy right there. Why didn't they bring Shake the Bank to make sure that this didn't happen? I doubt that it would have mattered for BTN yeaterday, but at least The Tin Man would not have been allowed to walk for the first 7f.
