Somebeachsomewhere Still Undefeated

[ELA]

From what I've seen -- very serious horse. Incredible. He goes 27 quarters and does it under wraps, easy. I would like to very much see him win it.

One thing about the Meadowlands Pace though -- the Meadowlands has often been the boulevard of broken dreams, LOL. Many big stakes races, a horse, 2, maybe 3 take a run at you, can sit and go and potentially beat you. Maybe 2 or 3 are considered legit contenders. The Meadowlands Pace is a bit different -- there are usually 4, 5, sometimes more horses who can and will run at you. There are that many or more who can legitimately win.

Anyway -- I want to see him win it. The sport needs another truly great horse to come along . . . haven't had one since Artsplace.

World Record!!!

1/5th of the fastest mile ever -- which was older horses.

He put the best horse in the worst position. That was ridiculous.

[outofthebox]

unbelievable effort by both horses. Art official on the lead through fractions unheard of, and the Beach like you said having to go 3 wide past the 1/2 to clear to 3/4 in 1:19 1/5. Are you kidding me. And he gets beat in a world record of 1:47.

new world record, and SBSW lost??

where did that effort come from on the winner.

most incredible speed i've ever seen.

man I know it...could he get any wider? next time give me Brian Sears in the bike!

But it was a great race in world record time for 3 year olds!

I am still just amazed at how great that race was, yet SBSW lost. They have nearly two months until the Jug, and I really hope they take him there...

What I love about it is that tonight you have Always a Virgin, one of the favorites for the Jug last year, you have Southwind Lynx, the Meadowlands Pace winner from last year, and Somebeachsomewhere all running. The stars of the game, although nowhere the stars of thoroughbred racing, still run after the 1st loss instead of immediately shipping them off to the shed.

Reminds me what this year would be like if only maybe Street Sense was sent to stud, and horses like Hard Spun, Any Given Saturday, etc. were left to race.
