Hes was probably too busy trying to scalp his Breeders Cup tickets to make the surface fair on the biggest day of racing.

It cracks me up when people say there was a rail bias just because the 1 horse won a few races. Street Sense took the shortest route home and was flying all the way down the backside. He passed several tired horses and he beat Quay by 10 because Quay decides to go 8 wide. Thors Echo didnt even go up the rail. He went 3 wide. Dreaming Of Anna raced 3 wide and then turned for home and then moved to the rail. However, she was the best horse in the field by far. Round Pound was trapped in behind horses. The jock wanted to move her off the rail but couldnt. She was full of horse and they the rail opened and she went on by them. Invasor, Bernardini, Asi, Quay all closed going wide.

Brother Derek didnt win and he was glued to the rail. He did run big though, but he was sitting on a big run. That track was fair

When a horse coming off a huge top that was good enough to win the race, but an automatic toss coming off that top, wins, there's no doubt there's a bias...
Thor's Echo You could also see it in the first race, when PVals horse won... |

A few horses won from the 1 hole? Yeah, like 4 outta the 5 races run on dirt? You know about as little as you did when posted under Kycherub. |

Of courses hes also explained to us that Gorella's lifetime top race "took nothing out of her", that Fleet Indian wouldnt go in the BC, that Bernandini would run faster when pushed, blah blah blah. Hes a font of misinformation. |

Oh it happend. Butch was trying to make a few thousand and got snatched up in a big scalping conspiracy, pretty hilarious really. I was shocked he didnt get tightened up by CHD higher ups.

Sorry, I didn't really want to rehash the whole rail bias debate -- I just thought it was interesting, because so many people have groaned about the scraping of the rail that morning -- and Lehr addresses that in this interview.
It's a good read, which was mostly what I was after -- not riling everyone up again over their opinions. |

I haven't watched the race again, because my laptop is broken and I can't pull it up at work,so I can't argue if he wide he was, but he had a huge top coming in and had bounce written all over him.. |

Not only was the rail very biased, and for you guys who dont think so I will never believe anything you post about horse racing, but the tracked sucked and took the life of Pine Island and injured Fleet Indian
Lehr should get a new job. |
