Rapid Redux

Calzone Lord · #1 09-16-2011, 09:30 PM

17 in a row at the Meadow.

By the way -- sweet graphic TVG ... I never realized Hallowed Dreams won her first 13 races in Puerto Rico. I think that star was supposed to go next to Mister Frisky's name.

RR getting ready to make it 18 at CT in the 8th. Post time in 14 minutes.

Good luck boy.

Thanks for the heads up. Interesting to see another horse in there taking some money too.

That was actually pretty funny to watch. Xavier Perez was working the living sh*t out of Smiling Jordan while Acosta is just sitting there on Rapid Redux while he pulls away.

Wow...didn't realize they didn't have show betting in the race. Don't see that real often in a 6 horse field.

He's tough on that bullring. That's where his best form is.

They pay a $2.20 show minimum in W Va.

Canceling show betting in situations like this has become a very recent thing there. Some of the most gimmie bridgejumps I've ever seen happened there. Two horse entries in W VA bred stakes races where both horses towered over the field.

He looked very strong and fit coming back to the winners circle. The race didn't seem to take much out of him.

I hope he goes on to win 20. Can you imagine the threads of arguments that would start?

OY

Smart move by them. Sucks for the better that likes that kind of action, but hard to blame CT for not wanting to create a negative pool.

If he wins his next, Peppers Pride and Zenyatta should be forced out of retirement for a 3 horse race to settle the argument of greatest horse ever.

How important was that QH race that TVG had to air it live on a split screen?

Calzone Lord · #13 10-14-2011, 09:50 PM

The 2nd at Los Al was a Maiden Claimer going 300 yards with a $6,700 purse.

How can you blame TVG for refusing to cut away from an epic race like that? In fact, TVG muted the sound of the CT feed for Eddie B's call of the quarter horse race.

If he wins 20, would that make him Horse of the Year?

Yes. According to the backstretch and regulars at Charles Town and Penn.

Tvg must have some contract with Los al that requires them to feature that track, and it drives me nuts. Last Friday they showed the post parade at Los al with 9 MTP instead of a stakes race at Remington.

You're correct. They also have similar deals with quite a few other tracks. Woodbine & Keeneland for example also take priority over NYRA tracks if post times are identical.

TODAY AT LAUREL...Race 6....

Acosta almost got himself caught - don't have the pp's but he was life and death...nothing like a 1-5 should have won - 21 in a row though, can't take that away
