The things I will remember was that it was a very good race.

Bob B. not being able to formulate the words in the post interview that Arrogate was never the same.

Call me crazy and just my opinion but I don't have any issue with owner's running their horses lightly, their call. If the trainer and owner feel it's best for the horse and increases their chances to win big races then so be it.

The bills never stop regardless, obviously with the help from trainer it's their call.

Post BC Thoughts:

- Del Mar should be in the regular rotation
- Track played fair (not like SA super highway)
- Nice showing from NYRA group of runners
- Euro's adding lasix typically succeed
- Sprinters are better from CA
- Baffert's Del Mar stats, with stakes runners, is lackluster
- Change in IRS rules are terrific

The track did not play fair. That's silly.

What does that mean?

You said the track was fair. It wasn't. The fact that several major tracks may or may not also have dead rails is as relevant as the cost of a Big Mac.

OK...Debating it with you is fruitless. Usually these discussions make it easier to decipher those who had successful wagering and the others not so much.
