I really think the US Turf horses will drill the Euro's this year, English Channel would have beaten all of those...

No friggin way. This was the race of the year so far. Get O. Board, and Deep Impact in there and you got something better than any BC race.

Look how they were moving at the end, no acceleration, except one staggered better than the others...

You are crazy. The winner was a beast. EC will have his hands full with the two three year olds in america, the top 3 from the Kings George and Deep Impact are currently in a league of their own.

Most horses in most races are SLOWING DOWN the last furlong. When they pass one another its usually because they are not slowing down as rapidly as the others.

The way Hurricane run won that race was as hard as it gets. He did find a bit of luck that Electrocutionist started to push out a bit on Hearts Cry while the rabbit died in the appropriate spot. But that was it. The horse was completely bottled up and had enough left. It was an amazing race by anyones standards.

Not in Turf racing, they are usually flying at the end, completely different animal than dirt racing, where it's speed, speed, speed...

In Europe they gallop and then lay it down coming home, they didn't look good to me coming home, it's my opinion...

Sorry if I don't bow down to the notion that European horses are always better...

NO ACCELERATION--lol. Jesus, do you know anything about turf racing in Europe, do you know anything about these three horses? Look at the split in times and then tell me there was no acceleration.

Watch how they are moving at the end...

And I caution you to put lol at the end, you have said some dumb things lately that I have let pass, I will lay the smack down next time you get out of line....

What have I said that you have passed. Again, look at the splits and then come back to me.
