Me too.

I did not use him. He's got a big shot, but I'm not impressed by Battle of Hastings. I don't think he was beating much in VA and this one couldn't crack the exacta in those races.

I agree with everything your saying, except he has a big shot. I dont get where the $ is coming from. What has he done that says he better then even Giant Oak ?

Grade 2 Stakes placed on grass.

He has a big shot because nobody stands out here.

So sick, I leaned on 4,9. Now im out of everything. Murtagh did not have to move that early, did he ? Chasing a 35-1 shot, ughhhhhhhh.

Why wasn't Battle of Hastings in this race? He beats Take the Points twice, who wins, lending one to believe Battle of Hastings would have a good shot at the big bonus.

I may be wrong, but wasn't the 9 best ? Murtagh has him under a drive before Kent even asked the 7 for run. Why ? Why attack a 35-1 shot who is about to back up ?

I doubt you'll ever get the real answer to that question. It's an unfortunate aspect of this game.

Not that I bet the race but watching Mike Smith on Mr. Big in the 4th at Delmar improves Zenyatta's resume in my eyes, staying undefeated with Mr. Wide is an accomplishment that shouldn't never be understated.

this was a good effort today for Ponti.

the Classic does maybe fit him better than the Turf anyway. If you get Zenyatta, and a couple of the top Euros in the Classic and Ponti that could be another great race. Avoiding the Classic is starting to look like a mistake for Rachel.

He wasn't quite as good over it as he is on turf though. Went off favored in the Strub and got beat by some horses that are currently banging around high priced claiming company in California.
