You didn't like the horse Mint Lane beat? Weren't you hyping up Admirality before the race?

If the figure is to be believed - the horse that impressed me in there was Unbridled's Heart. I was a little skeptical of him - but if the fig is true he's pretty good.

i disagree... casino drive, second career race.. first vs winners... first in this country.... connections say he was 80% fit.. and he ran that race... what was he then ?

Big deal - he ran a 101 beyer vs. bad horses (unless Mint Lane miraculously became a good horse over night) with an easy set-up. . . how was that "superfreaky" or whatever you called it. . . and then what happened to him? I know the connections say he's coming back for the Breeder's Cup - but I'd be shocked if we ever see him here again. He's fragile and unproven and I refuse to call him a monster at this point (so I'll also take back my praise of UB's Heart - he's probably nothing special).

mint lane was always good, he won at pimlico, beat ichabod, who came back to run third... the pp's show mint lane has been solid. casino drive... 101 beyer, second career start at 70-80% fit ?

It's not a good idea to bank on this 70-80% fit thing. And if beating Icabad Crane is the measure of a good horse this game is really in trouble.

that's if you believe the trainer on the 70-80% fit stuff. do you really think that's the case?
