Looked like 3 horses who wanted no part of that 10th furlong coming down the lane. Granted, it was a close finish, but these horses aren't much IMO. Twirling Candy, although beaten very little isn;t going to get 10 furlongs rating and I don't think he'll get it on the muscle either. Especially on synth.

Gimme Setsuko with a different rider and I think he beats them all at Del Mar.

Apparently, you believe they are going to get faster between now and then? I hope not as I was planning on bringing out my sundial.

Any decision to delete anything was made by me. It was not by request. I woke up this morning, saw the unnecessary posts and took them down.

If all unnecessary posts were removed from internet message boards the internet would become the first definable black hole.

I take your response as me saying it's a good race as you feeling it's an exciting race but not a good race or vice versa correct. And if this is correct would you please explain...
