I didnt know the title of this thread was "Only post opinions on here that agree with the owners of the horse".

You guys crack me up.

I will go back to my world which is called reality.

Too funny.
I think it's obviously fine to have a dissenting opinion, but I think that yours sounds a little silly.

Maybe it looked like a "perfect trip" to you, but considering all the factors that weigh in just as much if not more than the so-called "perfect trip," it was a tremendous effort.

Besides, since when is taking dirt in the face for the first time, going four wide on the far turn, getting passed by horses on the inside and outside, then coming back to lose a photo a perfect trip?

Kinda like saying Curlin got a perfect trip in the Preakness..

I thought that was awesome. It was a lot of fun to watch, I really wish for you guys who were there that she could have gotten you into the winner's circle.

A fine performance anyway, she certainly looked good today and should break through in pretty short order.

Again....this is just my opinion. I dont see it as silly, but if thats what you think thats fine. But she sat right behind a speed horse who figured to chuck it on the turn and easily went around her. To me that is a perfect trip. The winner had to go wide around her. It really doesnt get much better than that. She is a nice horse who got beat by a better horse. Now in her next if she doesnt get a perfect set up and wins then I will be the first to say congrats.

Curlin did not have an easy trip and was as gutsy as a horse can get to comeback and beat SS who had a better trip. There is no comaprison between todyas race and The Preaknes.

I tend to agree with you but she did go 4w and had problems getting over to correct lead again. Martinez helped her into it. Sometimes they just don't want to do it. I think what people are impressed with is that she had every reason to quit today and didn't, i didn't see how she galloped out, anyone see?

Like I stated earlier I thought the 2 would blow by her...and didnt. The horse is a gutsy one.

F*** the haters. . . Sumwon ran a great race and all the owners should be proud. . . Congrats to Chuck and Steve especially- what they've done is very impressive. . . Hope she comes back healthy and keeps improving. . .
