Was there really any question who had to win this race on karma?

The racing gods took'eth away last week, they gaveth back this week.

Is that really the best you can do? Daaher beat ML when they met. All the rest is supposition.

Stick to giving out the CHALK Indian Blessing exacta in Dubai.

You lost credibility with me after your assessment of the Gotham. Slow pace, huh?

Take it up a ****in notch already, will you.

The race was over 20 seconds out of the gate when that cheap ass O'Neill horse went insane, and the duel which the others spotted 3 lengths to run down never materialized.

who knows who is better.

a decent speed horse is supposed to win an uncontested 1-turn mile.

TOFP didn't freak the way that he did in the SunMillions,Foy, and Swale. Blame it on the law of diminishing returns with "juice", or the track, but he ran a credible race considering that the winner had a cakewalk and he had to slide between the rail and a rival.

I didn't see the race until this morning but I feel like TOFP probably doesn't want to go a mile, so he did what he could to try to get him to go the distance.

A mile is a perfect distance for him .. he has a lot of speed and wants a target ... that's why the rail post is so tricky. You can't send with a horse like him - but if you neglect to use your speed and take back you can find yourself behind a total crawl.
