Not sure who, if anyone, said Mambo had trouble in the race... The 'problem' he had was Albarado's inability to find a better route of egress than the 9 path off the turn..

As I admitted on ATR last night, I am an unabashed fan of Neil Howard and his horses. We've become friends, and he is perhaps the most gracious guy I've met yet in the game... And Mr. Farish is unquestionably one of the last true gentlemen in the sport. Losing last year with Grasshopper to Jim Tafel and a better horse in Street Sense was one thing... Mambo in Seattle was likely the better horse Saturday and I expect that to prove out by this time next year. And while I respect Eion Harty, it's hard to believe that anyone would root for WinStar (Casner, Walden, et al..) over an outfit like the Farish-Howard camp.

I understand your position , because you are so close to the owners, trainers and form some close friendships. As for me i bet and cheer for the horse i like regardless of the connections. I'm sure if i had friendships with some connections it would be different, as far as the cry-baby comment i do this all the time when i lose. I just wanted to start a thread for discussion, imean nothing personal in any of my posts, just type what i feel at the time. I value your opinion and respect your enthusiam, and enjoy your show immensely. so once once again my posts are in the spirit of debate.
