Didn't really matter anyway b/c DMC ran like $hit, just chased and faded.

Seriously though, as bad as my heavily opinionated assertion seemed to look out there today, I'd much rather take a stand and lose (not a first) then to be a self proclaimed humorous, monday morning quarterback. Feel free to post your thoughts before the race is what I'm saying.

The jury is still out on the filly. Let's hope she comes back okay and just had one of those bad days that every horse encounters.
Well said, I'd much rather be someone who looks like a complete idiot posting their opinion (see the International Festival of Racing thread for my gems today) then a douchebag who finds joy in mocking someone's poor opinion.

Nothing like drillin' them over those synthetics that thank God they're taking out so REALLY GOOD horses like Blind Luck don't have to look average over the stuff...
FTFY


...if you seriously believe the reason Blind Luck won today is because she trains over synthetic, you're even more hopeless than I thought. Blind Luck won today because she's the best 3yo filly, period.

What? You are hopeless.

I just said I thought Blind Luck was easily the best 3yo filly, but that her quality had nothing to do with the rubber. Where was anything about DMC?
