I hate Visionaire

[SniperSB23]

I hate this horse too. Can't believe he won a G1. If Court Vision had gone on to win the Travers I would have given up following horse racing for good. Pyro should have been in this race. And what the hell does Mott have Majestic Warrior sitting in the barn for? Even he might have had a shot with that setup.

Want some whine with that cheese?

Chrsit...it's not like this horse was 50-1......considering the pace scenario he made a lot of sense today.

Tiz It carved out fractions identical to the King's Bishop...he sure has a way of landing in tough MSW races and always finding one a little better.

If anyone watched the replay of his last race against older On Board Again...Street Magician. He wouldn't have been much of a surprise.

I understand he cost some guys on here money which sucks.....but people make it out like this horse has never done anything. Won a few ok allowance races and The Gotham. Not GREAT races but still pretty good. Too bad the mighty smooth air didnt show up. Pace flow mighta have really worked well for him.

Latana Mob had somewhat the same type of run as Visionaire but
decided bumper cars would be fun instead.

He actually had a better trip.....in my opinion. If he was any good he would have won easily.

He did until the turn. He was in better striking position and then bumper cars.
No one said Mob was that much better than the rest.
Visionaire won.
Do you think he was obviously the best (ie that much better than the rest)?

I dont think he was the obvious winner at all.
And neither did the public.
He won.
Thats all.

He was far from obvious. But he was bet. If they didnt go out in that crazy pace he probably wouldnt have won. But going over the pp's, that pace scenario did figure and he was the best closer in the race. Obviosuly a lot of others saw the same thing because his odds were on the low side. He is a really nice horse goin a mile and under. Hopefully they skip The BC and aim for The Cigar Mile.

As far as being better than the rest...tough call..he beat em all yesterday....but if they crawled early he aint winning.
