For a 100-1 shot I thought Songbird ran well...

With races like the distaff, one could only wish that Tom Durkin or Trevor Denman could capture that moment in words instead of high pitch stuttering Larry. Even The track feed commentators described the event as if they were watching the rose parade. Zero enthusiasm.

They would have at least had the decency to call it too close to call.
Songbird won the race. Watch the replay. Unbelievable that you mooks can't see it. Have you watched headbob finishes and on the replay say 1..8, 1..8, 1..8?
Have you ever said out loud...." I wanna see that photo" ?
So just because Larry Collmus ridiculously called beholder it's true.?
They took so much longer to put up the Lady Eli nose decision that was not nearly as close. It's a conspiracy. Watch the replay . Songbird won the race. The photos in my avatar are right from my tv. They don't lie.

Most of us think you are an idiot and don't want to bother with your nonsense.

I am not sure what the motive is to have Beholder as the winner. Enlighten us please

First Elvis Trujillo disappears, and now this. Hopefully someone can crack these cases....and fast.

I guess romping at Saratoga twice wasn't enough to get any east coast support....if Songbird was a New York hoss there woulda been an uproar.
Though leaving California was enough for them to give it to local hero Beholder.

Wow do you really believe the photo is a contrived hoax derived from east coast bias? Why ever bet again? why watch or following racing?

That's nothing short of delusional. Photo finishes aren't decided by where a horse has raced. They're decided by who finishes in front. The camera doesn't care what coast we're talking about.

What next? Gotta prove they really landed on the Moon? Spot any chemtrails over the hay to be fed to West Coast horses?

I never said the result was wrong, only that it was odd to me how it was presented. Furthermore could understand why some who had backed Songbird would have found it strange that, by watching NBC's coverage, it was as if she was well clear and never in doubt.

Secondly a jock leaves GP with talks of heading to California, essentially disappears, then shows back up at GP almost 5 months later without a word of discussion and that isn't a relevant curiosity?

Keep up the good work Andy, I appreciate your insights.
