If the mere thought of watching a horse run makes one gag, why bother to watch?
He ran an okay 1:48.1 off a layoff. I've never seen anyone say he's the second coming of Secretariat.
The horse is the Derby and Preakness winner. They brought him back. Yeah, to protect the shed value, so what? It's August and he's still running. Good! Made the race far more interesting.
Geesh! Enjoy this race, enjoy the next prep race, enjoy the Classic and bet against him if you want!  |
thing is, i've seen him compared to some very good and great horses. pointing out that he didn't quite run up to some folks expectations doesn't mean we aren't sporting, or didn't enjoy the race. i enjoyed watching a horse almost beat big brown. didn't make me gag at all.
altho i did have a moment when dick dutrow said 'babe' to j edwards.
