im not defending wolfson, but this isn't him improving off mott. the horse was alone through slow fractions, as coach pants said, trainer didnt matter here.

Thrilled for my African American brother.. Don't you think this horse has issues that made his last connections believe he wouldnt be suitable for this race when they dumped him in a 50k claimer.. Lo and BEhold ole Wolfson grabs him and weeks later has him running OFF the screen!!

im sure he has some issues, hes 7. but hes run in optional claimers for the tag before. there were no takers.

im saying if you look at the race, there was no speed. the horse went slow on a track that has been very fast. he probably did improve, but wouldn't you expect him to improve off of donna green?

OK whatever... Wolfson is a brilliant trainer who just clained one for 50 and won 180 with a 7 year old lose on the lead who earned a career top.. Respectfully he cheated period

Congrats, Steve. Bejaranose gave you back to back solid rides.

I just hate synthetic racing though. That 10 wide s.hit is for the birds.

Top shelf trainer, spends big bucks on a horse, wins a race with that horse. Frontrunner catches a paceless bunch on a very big course, cruises as the second choice behind a no chance favorite and a few, of the natives claim cheating.

he didn't earn a career top. at least not beyer wise. not that beyers mean much on turf anyway, but the figure for the race today is a 98.

take a look at the field. it was a grade 3 race at best. hes a grade 3 animal. if the horse wins the bc mile, you might have a point. but loose on the lead wins by quality horses doesnt mean cheating. period.

Very impressive day Steve. You were all over it. Looks like you are back in the groove.
