Thanks Mr.G., but I can't get the link at work. I'll watch it later, but what did you think?

Pardon me for intruding on what seems to be a private discussion, but when I view the headon replay it appears that #9 Graceful Moment bobbles at the start(as the announcer calls) and then comes in and bumps #8 Dubai Dancer who in turn comes in somewhat on Jara's horse #7 Aquit and this is what prevents him from getting out cleanly. After that the horse races somewhat greenly and wide and then puts in that nice run down the stretch. Agree that if the horse gets out ok it is the winner, but I don't think Jara was to blame for the trouble at the break.

Definitely not a private conversation. I was looking for feedback from whomever saw the race. My stance was that Jara did not do anything wrong either. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't particularly disagree with this but Jara has not broken sharply with very many of his mounts since returning.

Aquit was much the best obviously.

Andy,
Since you have seen all his races in New York since he has been back. I'm sure you are right. Perhaps we might see C.C. Lopez in the irons for the horse's next start.

Perhaps we'll also see 4:5.

The pickings are slim this week so we might use it on Trips&Traps.

scavs could ride this horse at 3/5 and he would still win as long as he isn't knocked into the shoulder on the belt pkwy at the break and has to stop and fix a flat

yes , you are correct , i mis labeled the thread (mods can adjust it if they so choose , not a problem)

while it was not a textbook ride for mr jara, a lot of the reason the horse lost was because of the other horses slamming into him at the break , the wide trip hurt and clouded my judgement , but , he could have won going wide into the belt pkwy if he wasn't slammed sideways the 1st 25 yrs of the race, it's a shame we will never get this price again on this horse
