10 pnt move up · #2 07-28-2013, 05:29 PM

150 and change, thats not all that quick at that track?

Horse ran off like the others just stopped. Almost a bit hard to believe.

Very slow times all day from good horses. I'm guessing the Beyer comes up pretty big for this one.

Geez, Gary Stevens is having a bad day. Oxbow walked off the track under his own power, but they initially brought out the ambulance. Overheated?

That Haskell time was the slowest since 1978 from what I can tell.

Totally agree. Ultra impressive. Track was slow as ****. That was an awesome performance.

How so? Hasn't it been pretty clear all year that he's one of the best in the crop?

Oxbow's looking at a likely soft tissue injury to his right ankle according to NJ state vet Deb Lamparter. X-rays were negative. Stevens is saying he never felt comfortable, also that he walks sound but doesn't jog sound.
