McKee Blew it!

PD is sad. How has this horse dropped so far so fast.

As for McKee ride is was McAweful, although I has SC. Lost several lengths in a toppsy turvy ride.

He never was very good. He started his career as a 100k claimer and won against poor west coast compition.

I am not a fan of PD at all. I never liked him. He never ran in a $100 claimer though.

I know he was entered in a maiden 100k claimer, he may of scratched out of the race, but I am pretty sure he ran. It was his first race at Santa Anita. Oh well it really doesn't matter.

LR actually rated fine in his last race. He came from 7 lengths back that day. I don't know why he was so rank today. I saw the same thing happen to him in another race. I think it was in the Arkansas Derby where McKee slightly asked him going into the first turn just to try to get a slightly better position, and the horse totally took off and dragged him all the way up to the lead.

I guess with this horse you can't ask him until you really want him to run because once you slightly step on the gas, he wants to run off.

If he would have relaxed today, he would have had a good chance to win the race. He just went a little bit too fast. That's not to take anything away from Strong Contender. He ran a good race too.

I didn't see his last race. Was he out side of horse with nothing in his face?

I like LR, but I don't think he is fast enough to compete at the top level. How about turf>

I only saw the race once so I can't remember exactly. I think he may have taken a little dirt early on and then swung out on the far turn. I can't remeber if he cricled the field or came between horses. He was way back early. The Form shows he was 5th, 8 lengths back at the first call. At the 2nd call he was 5th, 6 1/2 lengths behind. He was 2nd, a length back at the 3rd call.

With all due respect, PD only had a step to fall down, he was never that good, my opinion
