Market Quote

[Calzone Lord]

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.
