Not that he really blew me or anyone else away with his win in the NO Handicap yesterday, but this horse has taken quite the beating on this board. Maybe and I mean MAYBE he could become an interesting addition to the very weak handicap division.

Anyone with access to a headon replay fire it up and tell me what lead the RUNT was on on the backstretch (he was lefty going into the 1st turn).Maybe I can find an excuse for his trying to lay down in the stretch.

Otherwise he's still the RUNT to me.

When two gutless horses hook up in a stretch, it follows that you can't expect a positional change --though the RUNT did his best to refute this.

Yeah- he was horrible yesterday. It's good to know that you didn't lose the vast talent assessment skills you exhibited here last year. Thank God you're back.

I don't have his PP's anymore but after early success is he becoming a Fairgrounds horse for course? My recollection is his only descent performances in over a year are at FG.

I stand corrected. I completely forgot about the race in CA.

My mistake.

Congrats on being nice and smug about it though.

I, for one, would be happy if Texas and Louisiana were the only states to have racing. Then the Racing Dispatch would be totally awesome.

You can have a free Racing Dispatch hat if you can find the last time anything was posted about Texas racing on the site. It's rather unremarkable.
