They were sometimes competitive - but it took him 19 tries against lowly maiden claimers before he finally won a race...as a 3/5 favorite no less.




On synthetic - he's 14-12-1-1 and made over 162K. Pretty good for a horse who was 0-for-18 in the state of Florida... with a 5th beaten 8+ lengths in a bottom level maiden claimer in his final Sunshine State try.

Not to be a pain, but what is the point of this Doug? That bad horses can run well over Poly? We already know that.

There is no point other than to inform people that a synthetic marathon specialist is running tonight in a 2 mile race at the Great Race Place.

Will that be 4 or 5 turns?

4 turn race.

I find this most informative . Helicopter has had quite the career and it seems to me that Presque Isle is a fair surface . Unlike the Spa this year .

Presque Isle is a fair surface? Have you missed the other threads where Drugs talks about how it isn't?

I love the try at 2f in his 2nd start after getting drilled by 12 1/2 at 4.5f in his first race.

It's actually logical.

He was backing up going 4.5!
