Very enjoyable race to watch if you were a fan of the Captain's

Anyone besides me think that whole race was uninspiring? Slow early. Slow late. (unless GP has been producing slow times all day).

He was a half second faster than Frolic's Dream two races earlier....for whatever that's worth.

So rather than take the two seconds it takes to go check the day's results to see how the track has played, you instead declare that the race was slow (1:23.69) and uninspiring. Awesome.

Frolic's Dream ran 1:24.15 for the same distance, and decent N1X fillies (80-85 Beyers) ran 1:39.76 for a mile earlier. Cheap claimers ran 1:36.43 for 7 1/2 furlongs and 1:43.20 for a mile.

I'd say that's a slow track and Capt. Candyman Can and Hello Broadway both ran big.

The dude's perspective is clearly (demonstrated by his other posts) FIGURE CENTRIC. Rather than noting how the winner, uncomfortable inside, is wrangled back by the jock, and then has enough to come back outside horse and win nicely, he's only interested in how fast the race will come back in terms of figures. This is because he's essentially clueless when it comes to the nuances of the game. Without numbers he wouldn't have an opinion. As it is, he doesn't have an opinion that's his own.

Now, why in the world would you want to engage/pick on someone like this?

Look, I said the winner looked good, didn't I? I just didn't think the race was all that great. It doesn't seem like anyone but the winner ran that well.

Just looking at the fractions, it wasn't all that inspiring to me. But as I said, if the track has been slow, then I might be wrong.

Here's an opinion of my own: I think I need to start taking myself more seriously if I'm gonna post here.

The figure's gonna come back big anyway. He's wrong there.

I thought Capt. Candyman Can did well in this race to show the maturity to back out of a 3 way duel, rate, and then come widest of all around the two frontrunners

I have no idea when it comes to distance pedigrees, how does the Captain look as far as a mile and a quarter is concerned?

Yeah, no doubt he looked solid. But I can't see that fig coming back too high.

You can't? Even though you admit to having no idea what the other times on the card were?

I mean, how slow can the other times be? If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Just a knee-jerk reaction. Relax.

I'm no expert, but I would say he has something of a miler's pedigree overall.
