It was lame. They kept bringing up how it was the first time Larry Jones ran a filly against males since Eight Belles.

I was more surprised that Randy Moss seemed to think Sidney's Candy could make a clear lead in the Forego. He's a very astute pace analyst so I found that very surprising.

If you're an avg viewer -- what's that supposed to mean?

Good? Eight Belles ran a clear-cut 2nd at double digit odds. Maybe that means HdG will also outrun her odds.

Bad? She broke down. Maybe HdG is at some kind of added risk.

It's totally much ado about nothing. If they need to talk about something like that .. they have too much time and the telecast should be shorter.

He must be working on some new figures for turf racing or something. I don't know.
