There were a couple in there that could have run the first quarter in faster than 24 seconds.

what he did to Game On Dude, how about what he did to Blueskiesandrainbows, that was insane.

A horrendous strategy by Casse. Very important to come out of the 10 hole in a 10f race and expend your energy on the 13 horse, who happens to be 75-1.

I agree, dumb strategy by Casse. He should have allowed BlueSR battle it out with GOD early and have Delegation sit right behind them in third.

I am surprised no trainer entered a rabbit to deal with GOD up front. Doug O Neil comes to mind.
