The second finisher was tons the best.

For more information, tune into the next episode of Trips and Traps.....if it isn't already obvious.

I read the chart - it does look like she had a weird trip. What did you think of TT, Andy?

Also, I've been meaning to ask - where did you get your screen name from ? Thanks!

What'd you think of Bluegrass Princess' trip?

She wasn't winning, but it was a poorly timed ride, to say the least.

She just might've won with the winner's trip.

I don't know. It was a poor ride.....but Garcia isn't exactly the terrific rider many people seem to think he is. Maragh, on the other hand, has come a long way, and rides pretty well overall.

I needed either the 1 or 9 in that race....and wasn't happy. I thought the winner had very little chance and was a massive underlay. What do I know.

Early summer, I thought that Garcia was the best rider in NY and Maragh was a bit better than ok. Presently, I feel that Maragh probably has more up side than any of these guys. He rides the draft tip better than anyone I've seen, and actually seems to have a brain. He's a perfect trip machine from the inside (especially on the turf).

Agreed he certainly isn't riding to where he was at the Spa meet, his ride on Dyaforce this weekend was also weak I thought.

It was a curious decision. Maybe it wasn't Garcia's.

It was a surprise I certainly expected her closer to Folk Opera rather than Sealy Hill especially when I saw 25 for the 1st quarter.
