benny the bull.... hmm... if he was chasing any quality he does not get up. he def. needed this race back, he just outclassed man of danger late... he really had no right to win today, and i was very upset because i singled man of danger in 2 pick 3's, i thought he could wire them, and he just quit late

794 must be your lucky number, because this your best post so far.

Couldnt agree more, the truest sign of class displayed today. I wouldnt have took 20-1 on him at the sixteenth pole.

I might add a honorable mention to the 9 yr old, Better Talk Now. Very unlucky today and nary a mention. The old man can't buy respect.

i think its clear he is def. over the top. retire him, i have always loved him, but how many no shows in a row have to happen, as for the rabbit, he sets things up for stalkers, more then closer, if stalingrad and strike the deal had any class, either one of them could have had first jump and possibly win

Dominguez should have had to take a breathalyzer test after that ride.

I was shocked at how well BTN ran. I spent the whole day trying to talk my friend at our table off him.
I really think he gets up there if Ramon dont run him up his rabbits ass.
Tough beat for my pal as he had 300 to win and a 100 double from J be K.

I don't know it looked awfully reminescent to his win in The Manhatten last yr, we will never know now. But in that race he(Better Talk Now) never looked the winner either until they crossed the finish line. He's not an easy horse to ride but his record speaks for itself.

im going to watch the replay, i just did not see it, maybe i was wrong, we had 8,9,10,11 in the pick 3 and 4, so i was just watching and hoping we would beat out of control

I'm going to give Ramon a pass on this race, did he check him late yes...but BTN is and always was a horse that always makes you sweat abit and never was an easy horse to ride, he is a horse that has one run and Ramon more often than not times it correctly on this horse. When he retires I'm sure gonna miss him, never a dull race seeing him with that patented late run.
