Uh that was breathtaking.
I've got a $20 pick 4 to Bernardini. Probably will pay $50. LOL

Henny Hughes was awesome!!! He never even hit him with the whip. I think that he just established himself as one of the top sprinters in the country. Hell, he probably is the best! Bernardini's turn next.

I had doubts about his fitness ... and his soundness ... but ...
... but no doubts about his talent. He couldn't have done it more easily ... a terrific performance. My boy Songster ran well ... but he doesn't have the sudden acceleration that Henny Hughes has ... no comparison.

HH was not the lone speed. There were several capable of being in front of him to the turn. The 10 was one of them. HH was the best horse but he didn't get the challenge early I had hoped for.
I don't think there were any deep closers that did better than 3rd on the dirt. Can't say with 100% certainty because I bet over 40 races yesterday

While noticing how that awesome 3-5 shot was moving, while running almost the identical time that High Finance ran earlier in the card ( actually it was .01 seconds slower ), did anyone bother to actually watch the race objectively?
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.

Can any horse had a worse ride than the 10???
He faceplants the start and then trying to make his move in the turn he gets run into by #11 and still gets up for 4th
