I told the insane guy right after the race, the 6 drifted out like 4 paths, I didn't see the repeative bumping until the head-on...That led "THE COMEBACK" from the Tenfold debacle

We need both WLA and Cantabria to run off the board, 28% on Canatbria and 12% on WLA

Already 20% out today from Alias Jones(16%), Sumthing(2%), Capitao(2%)

I had Backus

You'll be lucky to get 1 of those 2 to run off the board.

which horse is down on the track?

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

the last race will be dark.. first time headlights..notation in the drf..GE.

[Kasept]

It was the 2 (Sweet N Salty) which was my guess because Garcia is off his 7th race mount and he was riding her...

Gee, I don't know - a first time maiden that races to the point of exhaustion isn't a quitter in my book... that's the kind of horse you put in your stable so you can know the next time that type of fighter races again.

DC, Scuds is just ultra aggressive when it comes to these types of races. This is actually quite tame to his younger years

50% get knocked out today, about 550 left. COMEDY

I can't belive they bet that Frankel horse down to even-money in the 7th. These European horses with that kind of breeding rarely run well on the dirt. She won on the polytrack but that's a totally diferent deal. Plenty of grass horses run well on polytrack.

Unfortunately I was not able to take advantgae of the situation. I had the 2nd horse but not the winner.

Well,I didn't bet her to win,but I think it is reasonable to think the smartest guy in the business would have known before hand whether she liked this track.It is not like this is Nick Hines "just taking a shot." I am just surprised that he used that excuse,because he should know whether she likes this track or not.The fact that he knew so quickly why she ran poorly shows me he did know that she didn't like it,and he ran her regardless..LOL..

Scuds, he wanted to pad the pocket, putting her in there to get a nice workout and knowing his other horse was doing well GOT HIM PAID and it kept him alive in the Showvivor

I'm sure he knew there was a very good chance that she wouldn't like it. Horses with that breeding rarely run well on the dirt. I would say that it's less than 5% of the time that a horse with that kind of breeding runs well on the dirt.

This filly had never worked on the dirt at Santa Anita.

LOL....Tell me something.Frankel says that Cantabria filly needs better footing than this.LOL...You can't tell that at all in the morning?? They don't even run them fast enough to tell them that?... Amazing..

She hadn't worked at Santa Anita. She had only worked at Hollywood.

Got that a lot at Saratoga the earlier part of this summer with the Pletcher/J.V. & Pletcher/Gomez angle.
