The Decades Most Under Appreciated Race

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Yes .. just like that one.

20/1 shot Biofuel broke from extreme outside post position 12 ... was very wide throughout while racing in dead last place. Matter of fact, Biofuel was last beaten 13 lengths after a half mile.

She was fanned tremendously wide on the far turn - and bumped very hard at the top of the stretch by a horse who drifted out sharply and slammed into her - yet she was only beaten 1.5 diminishing lengths for the win.

Just because a horse races dead last early on - and goes the widest on the turn - doesn't mean they are entitled to win every single time.

Why am I wasting my time with this stuff?

Oh.

I thought the horse down on the rail up close to the lead won.

When or where did I ever say there was a dead rail?

I didn't - because there wasn't one.

I just said there is no advantage to saving ground...there is no disadvantage to being widest on the turn .. which is where a whole hell of a lot of BC winners have come from the last two years.

I think you're crazy for so passionately believing that Looking At Lucky ran one of the entire decades 5 greatest performances in defeat just because he was wide in a slow race.

Only one more day till Gulfstream opens.

This could be the greatest opening for a track I don't care about ever!

You'll miss me soon enough.
