Well, at least you are happy about the outcome

I'm only happy because after all the Barbaro talk for a year, I don't think I would have been able to survive this. It was bad enough before he had even raced. A win and I might have had to end it all.

I don't even think that madness approached this love affair with all things Matz/Jacksons/Barbaro.

Was that before or after Prado reached to grab his BALLS
found that he didn't have any
and

then gave up the rail to Borel?

This quote from Kiaran McLaughlin pretty much sums up the Donn and all of yesterday's races at Gulfstream:

"Speed was so good today I told Alan not to let Finallymadeit get away,"

The 5 year-old Finallymadeit running as game a race as he did on 7 days' rest over a track that he has never particularly cared for (9:1-0-2) basically illustrates what a disadvantage late runners were at throughout the card.

There was discussion on this board earlier in the week about the GP main track and the consensus opinion was that it had played fairly. Yesterday was a stark exception as closers rarely could make headway, save Warrior's Reward, who probably had one of the all-time great trips in the history of racing.

Not just late runners but those with outside trips (which explains WR's effort --with an assist to from Prado). Which makes the efforts by Einstein and Beethoven (and even West Side Bernie) particularly noteworthy.

Here's a case where the NUMBER for the race won't be very important and should basically be thrown out.

Shameful effort by GP in not being able to provide a fair setting for two of their more important races.

Couldn't agree more. I can't imagine where Prado's head was at that moment.

I suppose Beethoven was due for some poor racing luck after a dream trip of his own in the KY Jockey Club.

Another great example of how horrible the track was is that Arson Squad and Sir Whimsey, who were basically in reverse from the quarter pole home, hung on for fourth and fifth, respectively, basically because they were on the inside.

I hope for the Fountain of Youth and Fla Derby the track is a bit more even.
