Terrible Terrible Test

[Swap Fliparoo]

It's not terrible, I'm a G1 winner now

They came home slowly, but that was a suicidal half mile out of the gate

I thought it was terrible too. A grade 1 race shouldn't have grade 3 runners.

graded races have non graded winners in their fields quite often...where else would graded winners come from? they have to get their first somewhere...

Duh.

This didn't even resemble a grade 3 field.

but you just said it was full of grade three runners, so at the very least it should have resembled a grade three field, right?

and nice duh. do you feel better now?

By August of a crop's 3YO year ... a G1 race should attract G1 winners ... and G2 winners ...

... not the pathetic lineup of yesterday's race.

When Gamely won the Test Stakes in 1967 ... she ran the last 3f in :36.2.

That was a race horse!

And what about the fillies who were 10 or 15 lengths off the fast pace?

What's their excuse?
