How does he disagree there? All he says is that they had to resort to some lower quality races to get 13 races?

I'm more interested in how he has horses double ranked, 'cx' , 'AB' , 'BC' ?

I'd love to know if that is him undecided on what level they belong or if he actually assigns both levels to the actual horse.

follow along my what I was trying to say, I should have used more words

Stonegossard says : Probably the best betting card of 2010 so far.


Crist says in retort : The sad reality is that it is now impossible to run a 13-race card in New York-- even once a year on its biggest day -- without resorting to multiple statebred and conditioned-claiming races -- something neither Churchill Downs nor Pimlico had to do to fill 25 races on Oaks and Derby Day and 26 races on Black-Eyed Susan and Preakness Day.


I guess it could be argued what the term "best" means versus quality.

Discreetly Mine runs a blockbuster race to duel with headcase Eightyfiveinafifty and fight well to mid-stretch. I thought he would rate, not send, but he broke well.

D'Funnybone gets the trip of trips.

I saw the race on tape and I was thrilled with DM's performance, but also frustrated. This horse is not a speed demon, so either Javier felt like the colt would have resented being restrained today or he just gave a bad ride. He's a fast horse and should be tough in sprints from hereon out.

How's Alex Solis doing? He took off Tanda in the Acorn and went to the hospital with high blood pressure.

This industry is so ****ed up.

I couldn't believe when I logged into TS.com when I saw that. Youbet ended up having the video.

Seriously...

Racing gets screwed again by the media by not showing the Manhattan.Way to go guys!
