I have no idea, I'm in Belgium. I was just saying it was possible. They always do something between races.

Am I the only one here that wasn't totally floored by Casino Drive's race Saturday?

[cmorioles]

I certainly wasn't floored. It was decent in my opinion, nothing more.

Thanks for the confirmation, I thought I may have been missing something...

I was. He ran a 101 beyer off a major layoff and he did it in his second career start. The jock was impressed and he made a point that Big Brown will have his hands full. He is going to love 12f. I think a 226 is possible and perhaps Big Brown can go even lower and beat him but I think this horse is going to put up a big time in that race.

So, you thought he might have said he wasn't impressed and that he couldn't possibly beat Big Brown?

Just a thought here...
Regarding the 10th race at Belmont on Saturday....I was expecting a very good effort from Phobia... he had been training very well on the training track at Saratoga...he demolished a couple of different workmates...he had a very good work from the gate....his gallop outs could have been a little better but nonetheless a much improved performance was expected....and in fact his performance was definately much improved...

His opening qtr in 22.17 and a final qtr in 24 & change with a final time of 1:10.60 for NYbred mdns was fast but the workouts that I saw suggested he was going to run very well

So, you can't wait to get 4:5 the next time he runs?

He is all yours next time....
what I was alluding to was that the time of the race may not have been totally due to a souped up track
