On the same day when a crazy breakaway speed duel setup Market Quote's victory despite breaking about ten lengths slow ...
An even more extreme breakaway speed duel happened at Golden Gate. I normally don't care for hysterics by track announcers ... but in this case they were so appropriate and this is WITHOUT QUESTION the best race call I've heard in a while because of the way Wrona calls out the great Russell Baze for one of the most illogical rides you'll ever see. Here is the replay of Jan 20th Race #9 at GG: http://www1.drf.com/displayVideo.do?...=D&country=USA I have to assume Russell Baze was given those idiotic instructions by the trainer...his horse wasn't even a need the lead horse. The pace figure for this race was nuts. Earlier on the card, there was a race where the half was run in 52 and the two speeds finished last and second to last.

FINALLY returned yesterday for her 2nd career start. Finished a non-threatening 3rd while breaking cleanly, but still sitting last. At first glance, not impressive, but when taking a closer look, the Hollendorfer horse who wired the field came home in 22.67 seconds, so to close any ground into that final quarter.... She would have needed to Sprout Wings.
Does this prove she's any good? Of course not, but I think the jury is still out. Would certainly like to see her return in less than 2 months for the next start...

Bejarano is now a jaw dropping 14 for 23 at this meet for the outfit he won for in this race.
