Yes he did, but that was at Pimlico. Both tracks renamed one of their 3 year old stakes too The Barbaro Stakes

Only two tracks did it?! That's an outrage.

SPRING WALTZ In an easy walk to the winners circle

HANDS DOWN!

[Clip-Clop]

Looked really good for a while there. Hope she comes back and has enough to hang on this time. Big Fan.

[dalakhani]

Its amazing that a grade 2 ten furlong race for fillies and mares at Del Park is coming up as one of the most competitive races of the year in any division.

I guess it is about the money.

[Handicappy]

It just seems not right that Kenny Desourmaux doesn't have a mount in a stakes called the Dick. Seems like something amiss there.

[hockey2315]

5-1 isn't a bad price on She's All Eltish - especially with Proud Spell's POSSIBLE vulnerability.

[cowgirlintexas]

Love Proud Spell but I am going to hope for an upset with the 1 horse Weathered.

That's a bit presumptuous with Hystericalady and Unbridled Belle in there don't you think?

I think if you train horses and you have a shot to put 60k in your pocket its about the money. It's not about the 540k to the owners IMO.. I would be of the opinion a G1 for 300k increases a mares have a lot more then a g2 at Delaware.

Really? why do you say that?

Hystericallady
unbridledbelle
spring waltz

and dont forget about:

Mooncatcher
buy the barrel


It seems to be a pretty deep race to me.

[sumitas]

Geesh Rosinka had the Robert Dick won and suddenly ducked out at the top of the stretch costing her a lot of momentum. She finished a shocking 3rd.

Because only 3 (maybe 4) horses can possibly win. . . I'd say the Manhattan has been the deepest/most competitive good race this year so far - only one or two horses in there had no shot.

Okay, the manhattan was "more competitive". Does it mean that quality was better? And even if it was better, does that make this an uncompetitive race?

My claim was that this is one of the most competitive fields in any division this year.

Your claim was that i was "way off".

Even if your contention that the manhattan was a better race is true, does that make my original statement "way off"?

How many times this year have we had this many viable open graded stake competitors in one race? Not many times...so...that would mean...that this is one of the most competitive races in any division so far this year...on paper.

[hockey2315]

I still disagree with you. . . but maybe my "way off" statement came from the expectation that you would be "way off" like you usually are.

So I guess the cheap shot is third grade window treatment for an unsubstantiated statement. Why bother?

You still disagree that this is one of the most competitive races in any division thus far this year? Okay.
