Neither runs in the race I think.

That "Derby Super Test" might not help you any.

and the two of you riding a tandem bike? TFM might be able to utilize some of the race riding tactics he has picked up at his local velodrome.

Well, that's true for most of the Santa Anita Derby Contestants (except the lady trainer.)

He ran his same race, but he was running on a much heavier surface than the top 2 were running on. The horse who won the 5th? Never been able to hold on before at Anita. No matter how slow the pace. He'd always been caught. March 6th he found something he really liked. Tap It Light couldn't get to him with the wide move (same as Caracortado couldn't make up ground out there.) Tap It just came back to win the Grade 3 feature on Saturday. You should excuse horses that tried to make outside moves on March 6th. No matter what this guy does next, excuse anybody trying to make a wide move on March 6th.
I really wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt here and took a look at a single race to see if there was a bias against outside runs. The race I looked at was the 7th, where Alphie's Bet was wide throughout, was in the 4th path on the turn, entered in the 4 path (which, btw, is where Coracortado was) and blew them away in the stretch. Now, this was a multi-move race and AB got a decent setup but this kind of works against your theory. You'd be better served to try to understand race types and the timing of moves.

You haven't paid yet for that obnoxiously bad opinion you had last year. That horse was so bad I can't even remember its name. I wanted to say Chocolate Candy, but this horse was so bad that even Chocolate Candy would whip its ass.

And, by the way, congratulations....I see you have added anti-semite to your already impressive resume.

I assume the Fat Man will be the half that eats....with me the horse's ass.

You actually wasted your invaluable time to see if there was any validity to his opinion?

Haven't you seen his posts in the past? He's never right.

You've never bet me. I doubt you will this time.

Wait, was that the day where three winners came at least five wide to win down the stretch? Quinonez rode one, Bejarano, then Espinoza in the nightcap at 36-1. Yeah, it was the track that did Caracortado in.

I just took what you wrote as being correct. Figured you'd at least get the date right.

But you're still WRONG, yet again, as 3 horses won with wide trips on the 13th. This is evident even from just reading the charts.

This kind of **** points to exactly what's wrong with racing presently. I just spent 4 days playing 6 (or 7) tracks that were running races that either overlapped or were often within minutes of others. In other words, I couldn't really play the way I wanted to 'cause there was just no way to really handicap these races. And, today, I'm arguing trivial **** on a forum because there's NO racing. Any wonder why handle is down?

Philly Park is open. I'm sure Lake has a cinch later on.

March 13th


1) 7 gets to the rail. The 2 and 3 both come off the rail to go by. The 7 also floats out. The 7 looks beat, but is guided back towards the rail. Then, voila, it takes off again.
2) 1 horse was taken off the rail..please note the particularly good effort by the #2 pig called Daniella Roth. She hugged the rail the whole way.
3) the #1 horse was taken outside by Smith, and failed out there. It's probably why he stayed inside with Zenyata later on.
4) turf
5)1 wins... Tap It Light struggles to make up ground with the outside stretch move. Then, he returns to easily win a Grade 3 this last Saturday.
6)1
7)1 horse(a little pig runt) ran 2nd to Zenyata(who was also kept inside.)
8) turf
9) Interactif has a big inside move(against a soft pace leader) after breaking from the 2 hole
10) 21.53, 44.38 pace ..resulted in a 75-1 shot getting up late
