Nehro is more interesting than Pants On Fire, IMO. Mucho Macho Man should pack it in. I don't care that he didn't need the win, but this was not a very good field

Despite his close today, don't see Nehro wanting 10 furlongs, Pants on fire was entered as a rabbit...pretty unimpressive field so Mucho Macho Man and Elite Alex have to be downgraded imo.

I'm not saying I like Nehro at all, just dislike Pants On Fire more.

Mucho Macho and Elite Alex should be retired to stud(lol)

Elite Alex had a tough task. The top 3 were second, third, and fourth through the first 3/4s behind a hopeless longshot. Machen was a bit closer than Elite Alex early, but Machen lost more ground around both turns. Machen looked like he was going to run a big race on the far turn, but hit a brick wall at the 1/8th pole.
