Coccoa Beach

[blackthroatedwind]

She ran last behind three horses that would have trouble winning a competitive 50K claimer, on a track that she beat the reigning Eclipse winner over last Fall, and people are making excuses?

I look forward to her beating me in the future.....as I wouldn't bet a penny on her wherever she may show up next. Today was a horrendous performance.

However, is it so hard for her named to be spelled correctly?

With all the good racing out there today, only on DT would all the NYRA faithful be out in force commenting on a race over a sloppy track. Who cares? The racing there is UGLY.

Hard to believe so many of you are still day to dayers. Damn, you'd think this was 1976 and there were no other options.

Someone drop me a note when real racing resumes out there. (Which just might be never.)

Thought the exacta came back a bit short for beating Cocoa Beach.
$58 for $2??!! Somebody bet out on that number. And very convenient how Ramon doesnt try a lick to run 3rd. Thought he could have easily been 3rd if he wanted to.

It was a four-horse race and the 2nd choice ran second. Yeah, someone really went nuts playing that combination in a race that featured two 7 dollar exactas and a $5.

You're also wrong about Dominguez not trying. She was lugging in through the stretch and he was riding her hard and with the whip to the wire. Accuse Dominguez of anything but the guy gives 110% every time.

I'm not sure if you should be applauded or slapped for responding to that.

You're right, dont mind me. Just a little frustrated at the result is all. Bad reaction, bad post. My bad.

In the space of a week, they had 3 of their best horses smashed to smithereens!! It's probably the lowest point in terms of racing for Godolphon that I can remember!

I daresay that the return to the races of one of last year's best mares does warrant comment, for good or ill.
