Default Terrible Terrible Test

What is wrong with the thoroughbred species today?

Are we to believe that there isn't one filly in the entire U.S.A. who is capable of running the last 3f of a 7f race in less than 40 seconds?

Was that supposed to be a G1 race?

Sheesh ... this game is really going to hades in a handbasket.

They came home slowly, but that was a suicidal half mile out of the gate

I thought it was terrible too. A grade 1 race shouldn't have grade 3 runners.

graded races have non graded winners in their fields quite often...where else would graded winners come from? they have to get their first somewhere...

And what about the fillies who were 10 or 15 lengths off the fast pace?

What's their excuse?
