he was last, something not right. Either that or he simply must make the front. Yikes, could we all be so wrong?

I thought the horse would win, but I never thought he was as good as everyone else did. I still thought that he was in the top 5 in the country though, but not in the top 3.

BF had 30 to win on Big Truck. Yay, and I told him he was crazy. I really thought War Pass would romp here, but get beaten later on down the road.

Still need to see if something went wrong with him though.

Big Truck deserves all the credit. This was a tremendous effort from this horse. Tagg was right...again.

Now, can everyone be quiet about how great War Pass is if he didn't get hurt. Hope he isn't hurt.

I can't believe that he didn't blow these away after so impressively beating those terrors at Gulfstream.

Police, report to the nearest Tampa bridge.

If he's not hurt (hope he's not), I don't wanna hear about how he was compromised at the start. He should've been able to spot these horses 10 lengths and still win.

More like he ran into a brick wall approaching the turn for home.

If he is as good as everyone thinks, he should have won this race for fun. That is why he was 1/9. I saw no excuses.

Then you dont understand the game. When a horse whos a straight front runner has trouble like WP had thats whats giong to happen. Its absolutely disgusting that they didnt reset that horses head before they spring the gate

Did you guys watch the race?

The horse was unsettled to start, broke a step slow, was pinched back, then rank. Starters have to do a better job than that, I could see his head wasnt set and Im watching on Harnessracingtv.

Default War Pass Bigger Cry Baby Than Me !!
Hello, horseplayers

I said in an earlier posting War Pass has only beaten good horses as a 2 yr old . He has not progressed any. Alittle bump and he is done. What is he going
to do in a 20 horse field with lots of early speed ? I want to thank Steve Haskin for his info on Atoned this week, on ATR. I knew Barkley had Big trk
ready and was looking for an exacta w/o War Pass, i will say i had it 10 times
and also the win spot. I owe him a beer or two.
