the nascar option was in the women's only poll!

I was just looking at the chart from the race. Everyone is knocking a horse that just set a "new track record." Have the DRF editors retrieved their hour glasses to confirm that the time is correct?

It is the only race to be run at 10 furlongs on the track so far. If they had carded a race for Derby Trailers over 350 pounds at 10 furlongs one of us would be sitting in the record book right now.

It is not like he beat Invasor and Ghostzapper. Lava Man stopping does not really make a good case for anything because in many of the races in which he has been beaten he often fades badly. Some people despise the surface which is entirely their perogative. Others seem willing to accept the surface as it is, which is a work in progress. It certainly changes the way the game is played. But if you dont like it you better find something else to watch or bet on because it is coming to both NY and KY sooner than you think.

Tru dat. As Howard Cosell would have said, "The man is just telling it like it is"

I'm nowhere near that yet, but if I spent 6 weeks at the Carolina bbq, I could be heading that way.

Probably depends on whether a certain former DT'er was allowed in and if he was running from someone he owed money to.

He's really not that good a horse, trust me, I've pissed away enough money on him to realize this. I agree he's a better horse than Big booster, who is a claimer anywhere else in the world than California and Albertus Maximus. AP Xcellent, maybe. He seems to be a really nice horse at Hollywood and mediocre everywhere else.

I am not really a Lava Man guy, but come on, he is another zip code in regards to Student Council. I'm not saying I am surprised that Lava Man was beat, but the race to me sticks out like a sore thumb. I could be wrong, certainly wouldn't be the first time. But I would say the same to you. Maybe be a little more open minded and see this for what it was. Another eye sore on the Del Mar poly. I guess I am open minded to what could be another Cerin unexplained miracle, as we all know he is a bit of a chemist.

Both Awesome Gem and Student Council were coming off of consecutive zeros on TG. Lava Man had just run consecutive ones.
Student Council was underrated and Lava Man overrated. Lava Man is not in another area code, not by a long shot. How could he be? who has be beat that convinces you of how good he is? He simply hasn't raced against really good horses out there. Actually he did face a pretty nice horse in After Market two races back and lost. Everyone has excused his losses when he travels writing it off to not being able to travel, stall-walking etc. Now when he loses to a horse who ships in its the surface. I admire him but he needs certain circumstances to win. The surface did not help him, that is for sure. It does not flatter horses who fade late. I don't see the outcome as an eyesore and I don't know what you people mean that refer to it as a joke or an eyesore. I keep asking for a definition but all it sounds like is an outcome that you didn't expect or a slow time as if they are racing against the clock and not each other or as if there is some preordained outcome that everyone can agree on and anything other than that is an eysore.

I guess we'll just have to see what happens next, if the outcome is confirmed
or not.

NASCAR is quite dramatic lately as well lately. It's not the 'good ole boy' sport it used to be, unfortunately.
