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.
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.

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

Rapid Redux just went all the way on the lead for his 21st win in a row.

19th win on the season.

He is now tied with Citation and Roseben for the media's fictional record for wins in a season.

Does this mean we can't compare Tim Tebow to him anymore?

Rapid Redux and Roseben (pre Donald Macdonald) have appeared together in 110 articles today according to a Google News search.

Fence Bored at Pace Advantage acutally put the date with the Daily Racing Form Result chart index number for each race of Donald Macdonald's where a result chart was available on the DRF Archive. Pretty cool stuff. He twice won on two days rest that year.

Blog it up brother. It feels silly to celebrate records that are not even real.
