that was shocking, we all expect a cracking pace and he's let loose on the lead, race was over after 3 furlongs - Prevsis was unbelievable to come from where he did!!

My thoughts exactly, Brock.

Why on earth was he allowed such an easy lead? That was the most competitive race on the card (or so it looked) and he was allowed to hack over the line.

What were the jocks thinking? Surely they knew they had no chance if they went no pace?

I looked at this horse at the Fasig tipton sale in 06. Remembered him as a nice horse but talked myself off of him because his dam's produce record was so bad. Oops....

While the mother might not have been a producer ... she was a half to Haafhd who blew away a field including horses like Azamour, Refuse to Bend, Norse Dancer, Doyen, and Lucky Story when he easily took a Group 1 at Newmarket in his final career start.

Haafhd was a top Euro 3yo in '04 ... so he was in the catalog when this horse sold.

Maybe I'm being too contrarian minded - but when you get down to prices that cheap in a time when the market's ok ... wouldn't you almost prefer they have abysmal pedigrees or dams with unproductive produce records?
