Default Anyone just see that at GS 11th?

12 horse takes a nap out of the gate giving a 10 length head start to the field. Weaves and I do mean weaves its way into contention and wins the race. The horse would of won by 15 if it left properly.

WOW~!

Thank you for judging me with "0" counter opinion. You are my hero.

I don't know about 15, but that was some run he made.
I have to admit, I'm ready to crack the form open for tomorrow (for the first time in forever) and after seeing that race I almost want to throw it in the garbage and save my money. I don't know if I would have used that horse if I knew he was getting a perfect trip. Then to blow the break from the 12 hole and proceed to get a guided tour of the entire turf course, not to mention having to steady in the stretch. And he gets up at the wire.
Just mind blowing.

I didn't realize Garden State Park was still open.

Thank you, I have seen others use this abbreviation before in a thread title and wonder what the hell they were talking about. Surely, if you have ever looked at a past performance in your life you should know the proper track abbreviation, at least a track that has been around as long as GP.

Sorry but I didn't see the need to counter a patenly absurd statement?

Just watched the replay. It was an eye catching run for sure, but I don't think the tardy start actually cost him much, as he caught up to the back of the pack quite quickly. If anything, it may have helped as the horse saved some ground on the 1st turn, and may have been caught wide if he had gotten out cleanly. He had a pretty clean run after that, surprisingly, save for the minor checking a couple of times, as he either drifted in or others drifted out in front of him. Seemed to me a battle of attrition at the wire.

Thank you for injecting a dose of reason.

the 12 was usable in the multis just on the breeding and connections.i used it but didnt catch the pick 5 as the walder horse walked his way a mile and 1/2 on the lead..it was a nice run by the 12 who was better than the rest of the slow field of nags..

My head just exploded. 15 lengths was not the point. I had him with two horses and lost the exacta. I'm not asking for anything. My head just exploded.
