At 1-to-100 odds, He beat an eased up claimer in a match race at a seldom run distance.

And this is worthy of a thread 89 years later?


If you want to talk about great Man O' War wins ... how about his stunningly impressive 1 length win over Ralco.

Yeah, Butwell obviously should have sent him. You can't let Man O' War get away with a 23.60 first quarter and expect to circle past him late going 6fs.

Beyer gave him a 193 after splitting the variant. Rags had him with a -12 but TG had -18. Jerry Browns great grandfather called Leonoid Ragozin an idiot and a communist for his number. The Bris power number came back 241 and Equibase had him with 188 but the number blew up the abbacus they used to store info back then.

...and ESPN's coverage of the race was preempted by bowling.

a horse going off at those odds should win by 100. certainly not a test for the colt. he was just lucky that zenyatta and poly came a hundred years too late for him.

Buttis is not the greatest last name ever, I'll give you that, but I knew a chick on the aol boards with the last name of Himmler.

I can think of maybe one name worse.

Hell, I'd take your last name over Joey Buttafuco's, or however you spelled that.

LOL.. And I was thinking my vote for you as the most annoying poster may have been a mistake. Thanks for setting me straight.
