i would call freaking something out of the ordinary. i thought everyone recognized that soft turf would help sailors cap immensely? he benefitted from his course. now, if he wins like gangbusters over a course not quite to his liking, that would be freakish. a fish in water is not a freak, a fish out of water but winning is.

I don't get this. . .

Whats wrong with making random decisions about figures on a certain race that are supposedly meaningless?

why is it meaningless ? because it was wet ?

I thought I read in an earlier post that the "quantification" of what kind of race the horses ran on a wet turf race was meaningless.

The figure is meaningless for more reasons than just the turf being wet.

So if you got a meaningless figure for whatever reason(s) it really does not matter how you adjust it. Its meaningless. Or we are trying to make a meaningless number meaningful? a bit confused.

I don't really care one way or another, I'm just wondering why it's so low in relation to a similar race (Pays to Dream in the Dixie).

what do you mean? sailors cap likes soft turf. he got soft turf, and ran his race. how is that 'freaking'? now, had he lost, and say....any other horse won by open daylight, that would have been freakish!

P/U mount when Coa got hurt...

Just saying, my man was in Delaware for Fabulous Strike's comebacker, shuttled down to Charles Town for a nightcap on Saturday night, then was up in Canada to hustle home Mission Approved. I'd want a nap after that schedule.

Did a great job up there. Check the fractions... :25's all the way around, perfect for a mile and a half race.
