Clearly the way they flew home shows that the turf was really firm, not yielding.

Or was it yielding, but with firm results?

Or was it yieldingly firm?

Maybe it was firm but with a tiny bit of wetness.

I wish someone could explain this stuff to me.

I thought Blame ran a pretty nice race all things considered.

Didn't they hit 6 in 113.4 or something around there?

You should be happy that Blame lost, as this makes it FAR more likely that Z will run in the BCC now.

I couldn't agree more.

He did. I would be far from surprised if he gets a piece in the Classic.

It just wasn't a very fun race to watch.

I thought it kinda was.

I've always been a bit of a fan of both Winchester and Haynesfield, so it was kind of neat to see them live up to, at least a little, what I thought they could do.

Winchester especially. I thought he was going to be a top horse after his win in the Secretariat. That seemed like five years ago.

I also thought Haynesfield might make some noise in the TC races last year. I was a bit off on that one.

My favorite type of horse is a fast one that is given an easy lead!

i liked winchester too. but i didn't like haynesfield...don't know why i didn't because the horse is a "horse for course" there.then again i did not think rail trip would let him get those fractions. dutrow was ga-ga over him this morning on tv so i though he would at least be a pace factor...24 and 3...113.1 should not even be legal on that track in a race like this.
