Also ... Any Given Slowpoke had an absolutely brutal trip in the race. He broke from post #18 and was EXTREMELY wide on both turns over a track that I believe was at least a borderline gold rail... and I think he also got bumped very hard going into the far turn.
That was his form going into his final career start. He and stablemate Lawyer Ron both were beaten a pole in the slop at very short prices. His 4.5 length Haskell win was over both Hard Spun and Curlin. |
Yea, I probably could've just quoted you instead of linking to it, since really the only thing about that post that was germane to my reply was this:
That's because I really despise this crop from a talent standpoint.
It didn't really have anything to do with AGS or your pick.
