I'm hoping he gets drowned for the simple fact that message boards will become nauseating if he wins. It will be completely unbearable.

I don't even think that madness approached this love affair with all things Matz/Jacksons/Barbaro.

I'm only happy because after all the Barbaro talk for a year, I don't think I would have been able to survive this. It was bad enough before he had even raced. A win and I might have had to end it all.

Was that before or after Prado reached to grab his BALLS
found that he didn't have any

So, does this make Finallymadeit the second best horse in the handicap division?

This quote from Kiaran McLaughlin pretty much sums up the Donn and all of yesterday's races at Gulfstream:

"Speed was so good today I told Alan not to let Finallymadeit get away,"

The 5 year-old Finallymadeit running as game a race as he did on 7 days' rest over a track that he has never particularly cared for (9:1-0-2) basically illustrates what a disadvantage late runners were at throughout the card.

There was discussion on this board earlier in the week about the GP main track and the consensus opinion was that it had played fairly. Yesterday was a stark exception as closers rarely could make headway, save Warrior's Reward, who probably had one of the all-time great trips in the history of racing.

Not just late runners but those with outside trips (which explains WR's effort --with an assist to from Prado). Which makes the efforts by Einstein and Beethoven (and even West Side Bernie) particularly noteworthy.

Here's a case where the NUMBER for the race won't be very important and should basically be thrown out.

Shameful effort by GP in not being able to provide a fair setting for two of their more important races.
