isnt that exactly what i said with my last post?

well I'm offended.

hey dummy.. it wasnt 4 furlongs it was a half of a mile.

I am a new poster here, but I will respond to this in a way to try and help explain to you what everyone is trying to say. If you take a look at internal fractions for the 3rd Race, a Maiden Special Weight, look at the internal fractions of the winner, Luv Gov and third place finisher Big Flirt. At the half mile pole, Luv Gov was approximately 5 3/4 lengths in front of Big Flirt, while having a nice rail run under Miguel Mena. At the three quarter split mark, Luv Gov is only 4 1/2 lengths in front of Big Flirt, and ends up by the time he hits the mile split, he's 5 3/4 lengths in front of Big Flirt. So Big Flirt gains 1 1/4 lengths on him from the half mile marker to the three quarter mile marker, until Luv Gov makes a giant run up the rail to regain those 1 1/4 lengths back as both horses run that split in exactly the same 48.4. so because of that rail run Luv Gov is able to get the distance and time that he needs to in order to angle out and explode past a tired Gold Brew. Just an example for you of how even being down on the rail for a short period of time can help, as Luv Gov's rail position enabled him to save ground and be on the better part of the track when Big Flirt tried to make a move if you watch the replay.

well the trainer said he was getting equine massages the week before so maybe he was just tense in his other races? or no?

With all due respect, I don't think a Traveling Wilbury could explain what gales is trying to say.

I dont even think Gales can explain what he is trying to say.

after seeing that race i would believe anything , massages may be the trick. i really think the horse thought if i don't win the derby my ass will be riding 17 1/2 hrs back in stead of flying f-that

I ran my fastest marathon ever after receiving a massage the week before. It must work!

This is what Dutrow said turned around Saint Liam.

what surprized me was the horse just ran 1 1/4 mile with 126 lbs and he look like he just stepped on to the track when calvin walk him around the crowd then over to receive thropy, the horse didn't even look tired, and i'm sure 126 lbs. stopped alot of horses sat on the rough trk

:zz: :D

And everybody knows DeHoss doesn't know what he's trying to say.

I feel like I'm stuck in the middle of a bad Abbot and Costello bit.
