Nice middle move from Bribon ....





Swept Overboard or Lit De Justice in their prime aren't winning that once MP got loose.

My first thought after watching the replay again was I can't wait to bet Bribon back if they meet up again down the line.

Maybe Todd enters that Starlight pig to make things harder up front for Majesticperfection

i hear ya. i bet bribon....he never had a chance with that set up.

Bribon had the visually impressive run but that's really not the whole story. Coa basically BLEW the race for EVERYONE except the winner. By not running early, he allows the winner to get away with a slow early split and, as a result, dust the field. By not running early he also takes a, potentially, perfect trip away from Mambo Meister, by forcing that one to run a lot closer to the pace early than he really wants; and eliminates any closer from winning the race. Ask yourselves this: if BRIBON is rushed early to be where MM was, where does he finish in the race? And does he make that impressive move?

OR he assured his mount of 2nd place by not engaging in a speed duel

I told you it would happen. His job isn't to set the race up for Mambo Meister, it's to give his mount the best chance to win. His only chance to win was not to engage Majesticperfection, and instead to rate a length off him and try to outfinish him. It didn't work because Big Drama is an inferior horse, but he and the connections got a much bigger check than if he had dueled with MP.

Faulty comparison. Two different distances that always favors the former for faster clockings.

Forgive me for neglecting the 40 feet runup difference. 3/10th second for FR1?

21.8/45.9 vs 22.5/45.45 better?
