She wasn't winning, but it was a poorly timed ride, to say the least.

I thought it was a Steely Dan song. :confused:

She just might've won with the winner's trip.

I don't know. It was a poor ride.....but Garcia isn't exactly the terrific rider many people seem to think he is. Maragh, on the other hand, has come a long way, and rides pretty well overall.

I needed either the 1 or 9 in that race....and wasn't happy. I thought the winner had very little chance and was a massive underlay. What do I know.

Early summer, I thought that Garcia was the best rider in NY and Maragh was a bit better than ok. Presently, I feel that Maragh probably has more up side than any of these guys. He rides the draft tip better than anyone I've seen, and actually seems to have a brain. He's a perfect trip machine from the inside (especially on the turf).

I just hope for the best.

LOL I'm well over the age of 16, but my sister was an honest to goodness Deadhead. She makes up for whatever inadequacies I have in that area....I think.

Agreed he certainly isn't riding to where he was at the Spa meet, his ride on Dyaforce this weekend was also weak I thought.

A darky in the making

It was a curious decision. Maybe it wasn't Garcia's.

Why would I want Dynaforce in that race? (Or look to build her up after it.) Was I to assume that she'd get it all her own way, in ridiculously slow fractions, with no chaser pressure? Plus, she's distance challenged. She tried to make a late run, when the race was over, on the rail and she got blocked. Big deal.

She was never going to be an Intercontinetal type winner..

Of course, comments on her chances in the race are appreciated BEFORE the actual race, but you know that. In fact, I think you gave out one opinion before the BC races, then whined about how Wait A While ran better than a horse who had nothing her own way and still won. Great input, thanks a lot.

But, the distance challenged thing is funny. Take a look at some PP's some time, it might help. there's more to this game then Fat Charts and bike riding, but again, you know that. :rolleyes:
Your looking for a brawl today Hossy? Whats wrong no loving this weekend? lol
