or maybe not. the best horse won. musket man will win others, but i think the longer distances are what cost him in these last two-that and stiffer competition.

If RA had been able to go the half in 49, she'd have won for fun!

considering how the race unfolded, i thought rachel did just fine. someone wrote that the oaks was her best race, i thought saturday was. she had company throughout, and still prevailed while those who tried to run with her early all faded.

I just said that because of that one guy who keeps going on about Musket Man losing 3 lengths due to trouble, and how that would have enabled him to win.

yeah, i know. i'm surprised i didn't read a lot about MM being six wide in the derby coming 'round the far turn.

but the big shock is how quiet things suddenly got regarding POTN.

Yep.

I was sleeping at the same part of the race that you were, when RA went 46.

I can't believe we're talking about a horse that was beaten handily and had one of the all-time perfect inside-out trips behind a scorching pace, had dead aim with 3/16ths to go and couldn't get up.

I just can't let this one go...

No spelling error here - just a gross misunderstanding of the correct word usage...

"You must HAVE been sleeping during the race" - or - "You must've been sleeping during the race"

Contractions are used to shorten phrases.

glad i'm not the only one (or is it won?

) who is driven a tad crazy by 'of' rather than have.
