nobody i know of.

Did anyone cathch Durkin doing his best Trevor impression? He missed him totally.

at the 3/8ths when he started running but the rest of the field was tied to a hitching post, how did the rail cause that?

The horse will never win again, unless by some miracle he catches a field that did not run to their form on a slop track, if thats the case I like him.

He was so focused on the 3 battling in the middle of the track he never knew. Hell, even after he saw him, he stumbled trying to recognize who it was!!

I thought he was shocked because he seemed to have paused to think of who it was and kind of laughed once he realized who it was.

Totally, Not only did he miss him. He couldn't even figure out who it was when he finally spotted him.

How many times have I noted that this jock repeatedly does that(and gets away with it.)

Give Borel all the credit. He believes in saving ground which is a foreign concept to 90% of these jocks.

Did anyone just hear what Gary Stevens said??

That was funny

Stevens

"no reason to think this is not a triple crown type of horse".

Just curious what does everyone think of Pioneer of the Nile's performance today? Was it enough to end the synth/dirt debate?

:rolleyes:

It's different for every horse, just because PotN does well doesn't mean the same rule applies for every horse.

Not sure, I have to watch the race again. But I though he was pretty much in the clear the whole race. Meaning he handled the track, but I'm not sure if he had to or would have handled all the mud in his face. He did run well, but he was still beaten by over 6 lengths to a horse off the New Mexico circuit. So my answer is yes and no.

Rail bias or not that bunch is going to turn out to be turd-o-riffic to get bent over like that.

What was the final time anyhow?

2:02.4

lol

had he ridden, he'd be stevens newest best horse ever.
