![]() I disagree with this. Blame the draw. I think if you reverse AP and Frosted's post positions AP wins and Frosted finishes like 5th. I think CJ also mentioned this.

![]() Not sure I understand this. Are you saying the 2 post would have compromised Frosted's ability to get near the lead? Cause you have to think that Victor was going to the lead no matter what post he was breaking from.

![]() I think he would have sat just off Frosted and won. He is never rank, he never really pulls. I think the inside forced his hand a little.

Let's get over it and move on or you can all continue this futile analysis for an other week and prove nothing. Go for it or not.

Pharaoh broke well, went to the lead and settled. He got pressed by a multiple stake winning horse and victor asked his horse to keep up and then asked him for all he had in the stretch. The dynamics of the race are beyond his control. It's not like he had a five length lead on the far turn and started scrubbing with no one around him. Maybe it was the pace, maybe it was the ships and maybe it was the track. Maybe it was just the way the race shaped up. But it wasn't the jock. |

Now I know why Eugene Ponticorvo REALLY did himself in. He was subjected too long to your horse racing blather.

![]() I had the privilege of being there on Saturday....in my opinion the 2nd best racing day of there next to Breeder's Cup Saturday. Here are the four things I take away from the race:
1. What should Lezcano have done? If he lets AP go on his own the race is all over. Lezcano rode a race to win...not to soften up AP for someone else. 2. Once they flashed the 1/2 mile time I thought the race was over. I am still shocked that AP came up empty with those fractions. 3. Whoever decided to run AP at the Travers made a huge mistake. That is simply one too many races leading up to the Classic. 4. Did anyone else hear the crowd booing Keen Ice for winning? I have to say I felt a little bit sick to my stomach, maybe it was just the people around me....but that horse deserves a ton of credit not only for winning the Travers, but also for what he has accomplished this year. The connections have never dodged AP and seemed to have always showed up where AP went. |
