Perhaps it would be worth watching the head on of the start. Mach Ride stumbled so badly that he literally almost fell down. That speed horse then dropped completely out of the race ( often happens when a horse stumbles that badly as he is completely shocked ). Then when rallying to even then what would have been a certain second place finish he was sawed off when trying to split horses and was forced to alter course and rerally inside. Even with all that he barely missed second.

Would he have beaten the recently annointed " best sprinter in the country "? It's debatable....but let me put it this way.....I doubt Commentator is losing a lot of sleep tonight.

Henny Hughes is a nice horse, may even turn out to be an exceptional horse, but try watching the ENTIRE race objectively and then try to objectively put the race into perspective with some other performances today.

At least we saw one thing conclusively....Songster is a total bum. But, hey, we already knew that.

Why did you assume that you were the only one here that watched the race objectively?
