It has to be one or the other as today's effort by Any Given Saturday was flat out dreadful.

I don't think the Tampa race was as good as others....Therefore the horses coming out of it, IMO, will put up performances that say it was overrated.

OK, so the Tampa Race wasn't a good race. OK....at least now I know what you are saying. I also think what you are saying is wrong. I cannot imagine how anyone could think today's performance by Any Given Saturday was at all comparable to his previous effort.

I agree. I don't pretend to know as much as most of you, but it appeared to me that AGS was a tired horse; definately not the same as the horse that battled SS to the wire in Tampa. I did like Nobiz' performance however.

My problem with Nobiz is the final time was so slow. However, from a race dynamics standpoint, he ran very well. Look how poorly the other two horses involved in the pace did, as well as Any Given Saturday who was stalking, and add to that the so far unproven Sightseeing who finished second while clearly taking advantage of the pace, and it's hard NOT to say Nobiz ran well. But, the final time takes a lot of that away.

It's a double edged sword.
