Believe me, I can't stand Espinoza. But I just think it's the horse. Hence him being in for a tag. Obviously he had everything go his way and still couldn't get up. He didn't change leads until late and just hung. I really can't blame Victor.

Really? Let me see if I can offer another perspective. For whatever reason, horses that Espinoza rides seem to be on lefty lead on the back side more often than just about any jock out there. Now, all Victor had to do with this horse is MAKE THE LAST MOVE. Which means, WAIT until the others have run, then run. In other words, let the others 'carry' him to the leader. Instead, Victor does all the middle running, has the horse in a drive from the mid-backstretch, is widest on the turn, has a bumping incident with the horse to his inside upon entering the stretch, and then can't get up. He turns a perfect setup into a better trip for the dueler than his horse. I mean, this dude is, arguably, the worst jock of many bad big name jocks in the country. There's no understanding what he's liable to do at any given point in any race. I loathe this ************.

Mr. Fat Man, who do you think the top three jockeys in the world are?

Could one of you more experienced guys tell me why #2 Primed is being ignored by the bettors?

Ah, nevermind. Just being dramatic. He's falling to where he should be. False alarm.

They're waiting for Mandella to stretch her out to 10F and have her last move a field of hardcore routers. Seriously.

I believe you. You're usually right about everything else (Trakus DOES rule). But what makes you say that?

I'm trying to learn something.

I'm trying to point out the irony of how S Cal trainers somehow seem to be able to stretch out sprinters and get them to win routing against experienced routers. This is pretty much unique to S Cal.
