That was a race completely devoid of speed. You have to take Captain Pletcher in a boat race full of sinking ships.

The 3 should've been hard sent to the front but Javier all of a sudden doesn't know his ass from his elbow.

More like Reynolds doesn't. He's abysmal this year.

Not to mention it was going first turf with a pedigree that was screaming for it.

There's plenty of races to complain about at NYRA these days... this was not one of them IMO.

In other words, the #3 can't run with a 24.88 and 50.41 qtr and half. Is that your point?

Of course the 3 could (and should) have gone. Not my point at all. Maybe the trainer told the jock to take back, who knows... just sayin' that of all the crap going on there with Rudy R and co. this winner was quite likely.

My point wasn't that the 5 was an impossible winner, it's that they let the horse steal the race when at least the 3 should have gone with him.

Ok...so no infraction on the 3?
