After watching that $5,000 claimer, Aloozo win at Monmouth puts him right there.

Cool Coal Man was a " Hidden Horse " on my show after his debut.

I retimed the race three times, and got 1:49 4/5.

They are they are, slow... Cool Coal man I can respect, I just don't respect that Court Vision, who I don't even like is 18 lenghts behind a 49 and 1/5? He wasn't even that slow last year, Monba did he run? The pacesetter absolutely collapsed off that slow pace? The race doesn't make sense.

1:49.8?

Solid.

I wonder if the entire race is two seconds off. Would make sense. The first four seperated themselves from the field early which makes it even more impossible the fractions were right.

Also, I had the opening quarter in 24:1. It looks to me like the clock started when the gates opened.

Good stuff Justin.

I'm sure Randy Moss will time it properly.

Take a look at DRF charts and you'll see that they timed the race in 1:49 2/5.

With that time what kind of beyer are they going to give the winner?

[pick4]

see below

[pick4]

Unless Beyer & Associates updated the time to par chart a 1:49 2/5 is a 108. If the varient was 0 and there was no atmospheric change MSW winner Cosmic would have ran a 99.

Since there was 6 1/2 lengths seperation between Cosmic and Truth Rules my guess is we're looking at somewhere between 97 and a 101 for the FOY.

Cool Coal Man - 90
War Pass - 102

Yeah, I timed it with the stopwatch feature on my cellphone. Not shocked I was off slightly.

This was a big screw up with their timer and this has happened many times before at GP. I was shocked but pleasantly surprised to see DRF's chart. The race seemed more taxing on the front runners than the slow splits displayed.

Wouldn't know Facebook at all except for seeing the stories on the news.....Not interested in that yenta nonsense....Andy, I respect and admire your knowledge and insights on the sport....You have to just trust me on this horse

[IrishofNDMan]

Facebook told me Court Vision and Z Humor, and although I did use both in my exacta and tri's, unlike when I bet Alazoo who was the facebook choice I took a stand on Cool Coal Man.
