You are being way too hard on EC. Off that pace noone was gonna close any ground. That race is a tossout for all of em as far as I am concerned.

Scavs
was all over the place today. saw everyone but u. lol most of the time we were in the park with the Major R bunch. Maybe the NTRA qualifier 9/10? Sounds like we've recruited a few more for the return trip to Saratoga Labor Day w/e.
Bad day at the windows but glad I saw Gorella run as she was the show today.

Exactly. Put a line through this race when you handicap the next one. Props to the winner who slowed it down, but I won't hold it against any of the also rans, especially a closer like BTN. Nice job by Espinoza as well.

I make no excuses for EC, but anyone that has watched racing for any amount of time at all knows that race is a complete toss. They let a very good horse set fractions that almost I can run. No way in hell ANY horse was gonna get by The Tin Man today. I horse that ran 1-2-3 the whole way around the track finished 1-2-4. After racing 3 wide and I saw the 6F split in 1:15, I esentially walked away. No chance in hell anyone was making a move in that race today.

Yeah that was insane. I said "its over" when I saw the 1/2 go up in :50 and change. Then when he was still loafing around in 1:15 for the 3/4 they could have just handed him the trophy right there. Why didn't they bring Shake the Bank to make sure that this didn't happen? I doubt that it would have mattered for BTN yeaterday, but at least The Tin Man would not have been allowed to walk for the first 7f.

Hey man what about those moron jocks letting The Tin Man get loose on such an easy lead , lol it was like stealing candy from a bunch of babies. I cant believe such a group of riders didnt know how slow they were going, gotta love it , my first horse to the million that I ride and he wins, onto the Breeders Cup , The Iron Man wins again.

Congrats, Honu. It must be totally cool to have been aboard a horse that goes on to win a race like that.
