Did you expect me to let Andy get away with the threat of using emoticons? I had to (re)act once he drew that line in the sand.

We need one of the 'pace engineers' to jump in and evaluate DBS' last race. After watching the race, I thought he ran huge; looking at the chart, I not sure. In any event, what was his Beyer for the race? just in case he does run huge, so we can deflate DrugS' post race comments in advance.

He probably got a 102 or 103.

He had the track in his favor but he still ran pretty well especially when you consider that he doesn't want to go that far ( he will REALLY relish 1 1/8 miles! ).

He's a pretty nice horse nonetheless.

yes, and they could ship him up from Shadwell and he could win again this year.
