I really don't get all the love for Lookin at Lucky, and I even have a futures bet on him. His race on the dirt to barely get up past Noble's Promise didn't exactly scream KD winner to me.

I dont get the love for horses whos trainers use the he ran bad cause of a cut on his leg when he clipped heels. If this stuff happens in a 8 horse race-just imagine what will happen in a 20 horse race.

The losing of a shoe is a different story but I am getting sick of hearing my horse finished 4th out of 7 horses cause he got bumped and has a cut.

Yeah, I didn't quite understand it myself. I think that he was talking about Noble's Promise, which wasn't the topic. If he's talking about LAL, then I'm really confused.

Did you see the race? I don't like horses that have trouble often, but in this case Espinoza tries to send Gomez over the rail. Lucky would have never gotten to Candy, but he lost 5 lengths or so in virtually stopping at the top of the stretch. He re-rallied on his own to finish as well as he did.
