I knew the track was uncharacteristically fast when I watched the first race...LOL..that is hilarious they set a track record in that all/opt. claimer.....I'm sure Butch Laird is pissed he yielded a track record to a bust like Greater Good at the prestigious CD, but I suppose there was nothing he could do about it because they aren't used to this hot of weather in early July without any significant rain, and it is even really windy today....Plus, it has been run on for an extended weekend since CD normally doesn't run on Mondays and 'm sure that screwed up their plans of working the surface like they would normally do on Monday afternoon....I thought I was going to die on my jog and I'm from a worse climate in Louisiana  ....that track is crazy tight and dry right now... |
Joel the race was very weirdly run. Metro broke like a shot but he appeared to have been "overrated" to me running the 1st quarter in 23. He really should have taken advantage of his tactical edge and opened up lengths. MCKee attacked early after glancing over his shoulder to see that everyone else was taking a hold of their horse. He sent GG to engage Metro and after they tussled for quite a while(always with GG in front on his outside) GG pulled away to a convincing win. DGM didnt like the sheet rock you guys layed down today and Buddy wasn't any good. I wouldnt use the race as much of an indicator for the future on any of these horses. BUt I was very happy that GG won as he was huge price in the pik-4. Sweating bullets now waiting for the last race to go off.
