Hitting the Big Time(r)

I'm not sure how much it mattered, but when you see him at the start, it looks like he got out really weird. He broke in a pack, but you see his jock pop up and down kinda violently, like he was really rank, or maybe the jock lost his reigns. It just looked like a weird awkwards start for him... But in the end, he was still just another Dylan Thomas.

Oh thanks for telling me! I still haven't seen the replay so I appreciate it.

To be honest (and regardless of how he did over) here i love Dylan so I guess at least he's in good company.

A few things about this horse...

I think the rider was wearing an astronaut's helmet. Did anyone see that thing?

Considering where he finished it's pretty amazing he was only a few off the lead on the turn.

Did anyone watch the head-on of the stretch? The horse was a solid 15 or more lengths behind the second to last horse into the lane and the rider was violently pumping away. It didn't do a lot of good....he lost by well over 100. Perhaps he was doing an odd aerobic exercise.

So I guess you weren't impressed.....

I'm amazed at how much money the horse took. How the hell was he a significantly shorter price than Pegasus Wind ( who I was forced to bet due to his crazy odds....21-1 )?

Yeah when the replay of this becomes available, I blieve Big Tymer was the 7 horse. Watch his jobck at the start the way his bobs up and down... It didn't look "natural".
