I mean, really? How stupid do these jocks have to be? How many times do they have to give Ultimate Eagle a loose lead before they realize he doesn't quit?

They must have read all the bs in the form that Pender said Ultimate Eagle would be coming from 10 lengths back...lol

He won that race as soon as Nakatani tried to rate on the backstretch after not getting the lead.

Yep. As soon as Nak pulled back, I walked away from the computer before I did my best DrugS computer demolition imitation.

I thought it was worth mentioning that Tres Borrachoes is scratched from the San Antonio...

I guess Tapizar answered the question if he could be rated or not. That was ugly.

I'm not sure if you can give an honest assesment off that race yesterday. It's not like they tried to rate from the beginning. Nakatani went for the lead for the first half, when he didn't get it, then he went to plan B which turned out to be a disaster. Once he let up off the gas, it was the begining of the end for everyone involved. I just thought he was commited to the front/lead when he decided to pull back and try to rate.

Yeah, it kind of goes back to something I saw the Mig say on the National Racing Report after his last race. Something to the effect of, with a horse like him, you're better off just letting him roll early because it's what he wants to do. When you try to take that away from a horse like him, they lose interest.

Obviously I overrated him and the winner ran a hole in the wind. But I would love to Tapizar just given his head in the future and let him do what he does best.
