I might add a honorable mention to the 9 yr old, Better Talk Now. Very unlucky today and nary a mention. The old man can't buy respect.

benny the bull.... hmm... if he was chasing any quality he does not get up. he def. needed this race back, he just outclassed man of danger late... he really had no right to win today, and i was very upset because i singled man of danger in 2 pick 3's, i thought he could wire them, and he just quit late

794 must be your lucky number, because this your best post so far.

Couldnt agree more, the truest sign of class displayed today. I wouldnt have took 20-1 on him at the sixteenth pole.

The race was freaking awful.

I would have bet Piazza at 3/1 in there.

Piazza de Spagna was not a surprise to me. I had him rated well above the others in that field, with Smart Enuf the only one close. I think he looked so good because the rest of the field was terrible. seriously, there were no other horses that had any kind of late interest

Go back and compare his closing fractions in his previous races to that of the others in the field. He looked like the second most likely winner due to that fact alone.

This statement is so far from reality it defies logic. Bad field, Piazza had half way decent recent form and you're comparing Gary to Dutrow? Puh-leeze.
