2/24 (GP): Fountain of Youth (Gr. II)

[Hoist Her Flag]

Cool Coal man first by a long head. Elysian Fields re-rallied. You tell me Court Vision, Monba, Anak Nakal, Z Humor are not better than 10 lenghts behind a 25 and 4/5 quarter?

The final time was more than a second slower than a MSW event earlier on the card.

Pathetic racing at it's absolute best. Or is it worst? The lines are so blurred now, who can tell anymore?

[Hoist Her Flag]

Whats worse 12 horse fields out east with only 3 horses trying, or 5 horse fields out west?

Where did you hear that.....Facebook?

After watching that $5,000 claimer, Aloozo win at Monmouth puts him right there.

Cool Coal Man was a " Hidden Horse " on my show after his debut.

[justindew]

I retimed the race three times, and got 1:49 4/5.

[Hoist Her Flag]

They are they are, slow... Cool Coal man I can respect, I just don't respect that Court Vision, who I don't even like is 18 lenghts behind a 49 and 1/5? He wasn't even that slow last year, Monba did he run? The pacesetter absolutely collapsed off that slow pace? The race doesn't make sense.

1:49.8?

Solid.

I wonder if the entire race is two seconds off. Would make sense. The first four seperated themselves from the field early which makes it even more impossible the fractions were right.

Take a look at DRF charts and you'll see that they timed the race in 1:49 2/5.

Wouldn't know Facebook at all except for seeing the stories on the news.....Not interested in that yenta nonsense....Andy, I respect and admire your knowledge and insights on the sport....You have to just trust me on this horse

Facebook told me Court Vision and Z Humor, and although I did use both in my exacta and tri's, unlike when I bet Alazoo who was the facebook choice I took a stand on Cool Coal Man.

I'm sure Andy will stop handicapping now.

Now I know you're crazy.

I liked the horse going into the race and said so in this thread.
However, as has been pointed out earlier, winning a 9f race at that track when you have some speed and are breaking from the 1-hole is not exactly an outstanding accomplishment.
He was an overlay today, but I think that the opposite could certainly be true in his next start.
