Anybody See the 6th at Laurel Today?

The maiden that won the 2nd at Aqueduct would beat him by a city block....at 1:5.....and nobody is getting all revved up about him.

Just like your namesake .. that horse is also sired by Tapit and ran a Beyer in the low 60's in his debut.

Once a horse runs 5th in it's debut at Delaware Park .. and gets beat twice at Philly back to back ... it forms a strong revved-up over maiden win repellent.

Lightly raced slowpoke horses with prettier records are viewed as much sexier for some reason. As I know you know.

It's how they do it. It's not how fast they run. I don't pay much attention to speed figures.

It's the same thing at the 2 year old sales. I'd much rather have a good mover that works :10 2/5 than an ugly mover that works :10.

I actually thought that this colt worked really good at FT Calder even though he only worked :10 4/5. He's a great mover. And he worked awesome at Timonium. I thought he was in the top 2-3 best horses in the sale.

You can have the pretty looking ones that prance around at the back of the pack. . . I'll take the ones who get to the wire first.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm willing to bet I could find a post of yours on this board that quotes a speed figure when it conveniently backs up the supposed talents of some horse you are backing.

Once again....there are no trips in slow races.

I pay very little attention to speed figures in my handicapping. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying that I've never discussed speed figures.

Looks like the jock might've dropped the whip late, as well.


Any chance we can get Quinonez to watch this replay and see how a MALE JOCK finishes a race with a perfect setup?
