Entered in Santa Anita's 6th today...very excited about this one.

Last race was a solid effort for a horse who was "entered just to get a race in before turning 3" as Biancone said on HRTV prior to the race.

im pumped 4 this race i really was impressed by "square" 1st race so we will see what happens

Anyone playing this race needs to use the #1 at a ridiculous price.. Wellnessfast..

I'd key the 1-3 with the 6-10-11.. Terrific race..

I don't don't know what to make of that race. It doesn't look like the six was at fault but I'm watching from my PC so it's hard for me to tell. Nice comeback by the six.

Bull crap to DQ the 6........reward him from that amazing effort.

Incredible race from Tiago.I can't believe that effort.

I was trying to tell everyone that 15-wide was where you wanted to be today at Santa Anita..

Seriously, that was bizzare...I thought the horse was being eased and then all of a sudden, he starts running again. I can't remember the last time I saw anything like that.

SCUDSBROTHER · #9 01-21-2007, 05:29 PM

I don't appreciate Spanky carrying me wide.Tiago wins by 5 if not for that rat doing that.

Kasept · #10 01-21-2007, 05:30 PM

Closest thing to this in my memory is Dettori ruining Swain's BC Classic try..

Can't believe the rest of the field can't beat them.How mediocre are they?

Sal Gonzalez was the one who messed that race up. Spanky would have won by open lengths if he had a competent jock on his back.

Five Star Derek · #13 01-21-2007, 05:34 PM

All I can say is wow. That was crazy. I do think the stewards got it right after watching the replay.

Miss Norman in the Fantasy Stakes the next to last day of the meet this past year at Oaklawn. Blew the turn into the stretch and bolted twice more before finally straightening up and coming back for 2nd behind Pletchers shipper. Didn't affect any other horses but the closest thing I've seen.

Victor had him measured.No doubt in my mind Tiago blows by him.Spank was all over the place,but he never had his momentum totally stopped (like Tiago did.)

Using that theory. Spanky Come Home is a good bet against next time.

Travis Stone · #17 01-21-2007, 05:48 PM

I bet all sorts of horses with the bridge jumping... after a horse blows the turn, and all the shenanigans, the favorite hits the board and I rip. GRR!!

Rootdog1 · #18 01-21-2007, 06:05 PM

I agree the 6 should of been DQed but from what I saw what he did was more impressive then what Tiago did. True, the 6 was the cause of the trouble but it was still amazing...he basically bolted, stopped, started and then won. I didnt have any $ on the race so my glasses are not colored....

outofthebox · #19 01-21-2007, 06:13 PM

I agree with Root. But really the whole final 1/4 was slower than an average harness race at the Meadowlands..Most of you youngones wont remember this, but back in 86' Broad Brush completely blew the turn in the PA Derby and after Cordero got a weiner from the hotdog stand he came back and was a drawing away winner...

How about Broad Brush in the 1986 Pennsylvania Derby..watch that race!!!
