Looked really good for a while there. Hope she comes back and has enough to hang on this time. Big Fan.

Its amazing that a grade 2 ten furlong race for fillies and mares at Del Park is coming up as one of the most competitive races of the year in any division.

I guess it is about the money.

It just seems not right that Kenny Desourmaux doesn't have a mount in a stakes called the Dick. Seems like something amiss there.

5-1 isn't a bad price on She's All Eltish - especially with Proud Spell's POSSIBLE vulnerability.

Love Proud Spell but I am going to hope for an upset with the 1 horse Weathered.

I think if you train horses and you have a shot to put 60k in your pocket its about the money. It's not about the 540k to the owners IMO.. I would be of the opinion a G1 for 300k increases a mares have a lot more then a g2 at Delaware.

Geesh Rosinka had the Robert Dick won and suddenly ducked out at the top of the stretch costing her a lot of momentum. She finished a shocking 3rd.

Because only 3 (maybe 4) horses can possibly win. . . I'd say the Manhattan has been the deepest/most competitive good race this year so far - only one or two horses in there had no shot.

Okay, the manhattan was "more competitive". Does it mean that quality was better? And even if it was better, does that make this an uncompetitive race?

My claim was that this is one of the most competitive fields in any division this year.

Your claim was that i was "way off".

Even if your contention that the manhattan was a better race is true, does that make my original statement "way off"?

How many times this year have we had this many viable open graded stake competitors in one race? Not many times...so...that would mean...that this is one of the most competitive races in any division so far this year...on paper.

Well, genius, I thought i would check and see what others think of this field. Lo and behold, there are actually people out here who think this is a pretty nice field.

Whoa Jeremy Plonk agrees with you?! I must be wrong then. . . This debate is stupid - I was just disagreeing with you for the sake of disagreeing - it's a reflex now every time you post.

You forgot Jerardi as well and anyone else with half a brain.

Again, if you cant man up and admit you were wrong then that makes you a ______.

Best of luck.

That's a bit presumptuous with Hystericalady and Unbridled Belle in there don't you think?
