The Duty Free race is shorter than I thought. It's about 1 1/8 miles.
sometimes it helps to actually watch the f*cking race.

and no, its actually shorter than 9f.
its meant for milers.

and yeah,
poke fun at Relaxed Gesture.
all he did was beat Electrocutionist and Grey Swallow in Canada last year.
and he placed 2nd and 3rd in at least another 5 grade 1s over the last 2 racing seasons.

do you want me to go over Grey Swallow's resume as well?

Have you watched Relaxed Gesture's races this year? He has not been running well at all.

He hasn't won a race all year. He ran 5th in his last race and he ran 5th in his race before that.

yeah,
well its been fun.

Relaxed Gesture has run well but not won this year.
think of him what you will, its not like Im picking him to win anything.

I do know this, he is a hell of a lot better than The Slow Man.
I strongly hope that the pumpkin guy and all his post position reading pals will run to the windows with all their cash on BC day to bet the Tin Man.

then maybe some of us will get better than 1/9 on Hurrican Run.

I don't think The Tin Man is as good as horses like David Junior or Hurricane Run. I never said that he is as good as those horses. But I do think he's much better than Cacique or English Channel.

I watched the race. I didn't remember who ran 2nd or 3rd so I looked it up and misread it.

The Duty Free is much closer to 1 1/8 miles than 1 1/16 miles. 1 1/8 miles is 1 mile and 220 yards. The Duty Free is 1 mile and 193 yards.
