Henny Hughes
 
LOL!!!

Never even touched him

Scav 08-26-2006 04:53 PM

Karen's Caper RAT is going to cost me a $150 pick four....UNBELIEVABLE

Coach Pants 08-26-2006 04:55 PM

Uh that was breathtaking.

I've got a $20 pick 4 to Bernardini. Probably will pay $50. LOL

Scav 08-26-2006 04:56 PM

the pick three is paying $3.80 to $1, pick four should pay $20 per $1

GPK 08-26-2006 04:57 PM

$29 for $1

Scav 08-26-2006 04:57 PM

$29 per $1....an absolute steal

Coach Pants 08-26-2006 04:57 PM

Holy ****. Ok now i'm a little nervous.

GPK 08-26-2006 04:58 PM

someone loved that 24-1 shot that finished 2nd.....:cool:

I had doubts about his fitness ... and his soundness ... but ...

... but no doubts about his talent.

He couldn't have done it more easily ... a terrific performance.

My boy Songster ran well ... but he doesn't have the sudden acceleration that Henny Hughes has ... no comparison.

Henny Hughes was awesome!!! He never even hit him with the whip. I think that he just established himself as one of the top sprinters in the country. Hell, he probably is the best! Bernardini's turn next.

Right now he is much the best.

I liked that horse. I had the exacta. It was the only exacta I played on the race.

tycharles01 08-26-2006 05:03 PM

Can any horse had a worse ride than the 10???

He faceplants the start and then trying to make his move in the turn he gets run into by #11 and still gets up for 4th

Well done Richie....I liked him as soon as I saw the PP's for the race. I told Gander over the phone 3-4 times that I thought he had every right to improve.

Hope you hammered it.

Scav 08-26-2006 05:06 PM

I can't believe this mother f'n pick four is paying $29 per $1...I am FUMING right now. 3/4 length cost me probably $4500

I noticed the way he was moving when he came out this year at Monmouth. it was a powerful thing of beauty. I knew he was going to be tough this year in the sprint division for all the marbles. he crushed a good large field today from an inside post were he was bumped around a bit.

Don't know about taking your breath away, but pretty impressive.

Danzig 08-26-2006 05:48 PM

i can't believe i picked four winners in a row and didn't have a dime bet.....

While noticing how that awesome 3-5 shot was moving, while running almost the identical time that High Finance ran earlier in the card ( actually it was .01 seconds slower ), did anyone bother to actually watch the race objectively?

Perhaps it would be worth watching the head on of the start. Mach Ride stumbled so badly that he literally almost fell down. That speed horse then dropped completely out of the race ( often happens when a horse stumbles that badly as he is completely shocked ). Then when rallying to even then what would have been a certain second place finish he was sawed off when trying to split horses and was forced to alter course and rerally inside. Even with all that he barely missed second.

Would he have beaten the recently annointed " best sprinter in the country "? It's debatable....but let me put it this way.....I doubt Commentator is losing a lot of sleep tonight.

Henny Hughes is a nice horse, may even turn out to be an exceptional horse, but try watching the ENTIRE race objectively and then try to objectively put the race into perspective with some other performances today.

At least we saw one thing conclusively....Songster is a total bum. But, hey, we already knew that.
