I think it was a combination of the wide trip and rushing the horse. Now, maybe he doesn't rate too well but it seemed like a ride without a plan.

yeah, enough with applauding those inside suckup trips. (he found trouble)

now we're trip handicapping (well, even if it's beyond OBVIOUS)

I guess Most Distinguished finally put it together. Judging by the times of earlier races he probably got a fig in the high 80s. Nothing spectacular but maybe something to build on. He's always shown some ability but just a refusal to win. Maybe this will be a confidence builder.

what a TERRIBLE job with the headon view by GP

if they can provide the headon for sprints and routes, they THEN certainly have the cameras in place. INexcusable

seems to be a movement towards providing less and less tape of races (love the move by Cali and the Meadowlands to VERY abbreviated headons)

at this rate, I better start practicing crunching numbers (and playing with data)

or pulling down slot arms
