I think Street Sense lugged in

[Scav]

No, other way around. Grasshopper was trying to bore out and couldn't. SS was trying to duck to the rail but Borel kept him somewhat straight.

Nope, Borel, hit him on the right,

and he kept boring in,

and then they hit,

I watched it 4 times

Then why ask the question if you know the answer?

[Scav]

The contact was caused by Hopper drifting out, SS was lugging in but maybe a 1/4 of a path.

My guess is that Hopper is done for the year and is getting ready for a monster 4 year old campaign out West. A perfect Strub Series horse.

For some reason I remember Howard having a strong presence in the West, I confuse him with Drysdale, McAnually and one other all the time. I have no idea why

here, intelligently..

Why would you say the doesn't the Strub series mean anything?

The Malibu is a 7f Grade1 that regularly draws full, competitive fields..

what doesn't it mean?? it's a grade 1?

awaiting another biased response...

Didn't Rock Hard Ten do well in that series?

But then again, I'm not sure that warrants declaring that it "means anything."

Oh well.

In years past it was more important than now, and horses ran in all 3 legs as a series.

Anything you'd like to add?

Yes, actually.

Stop being an as$hole, D.

Let's recap what I said. Rock Hard Ten did well in the series. Statement of fact, observation even. Then a followup of that fact that Rock Hard Ten performing well in that series didn't exactly make it a series that meant anything.

So long story short, agreeing with you.

Jesus, disagree with you once, and all the sudden every ****ing word out of my mouth will be interpreted as a dig?

Settle down there bucko.
