![]() just when you think things have reached bottom, we're now being lectured on grammar and spelling. I'm in big trouble if this trend takes off.

![]() Since we are in a educational mood. Can someone explain something about the top 3 year old beyer given to Flying First Class 107, in a 33K alw, and how anyone looked at this for his next start. By comparison, Teuflesberg posted a 100 Beyer number for winning the Southwest, and Hard Spun, who finished fourth, beaten three lengths at 50 cents to the dollar, received a 95, which, coincidentally, was the same number he posted when he won the LeComte by six-plus lengths a month back at Fair Grounds. Then the sudden fall off the earth effort by FFC in the Rebel.

I just got my first true inkling of what it must feel like for A Rod when some amateurish pitcher throws him a big fat fastball right over the center of the plate. |

Flying First Class, who's bred to sprint, made a comfortable lead, and dismantled a field by many lengths. I believe the soundly beaten 2nd place finisher won back. His final time was almost two full seconds faster than alw horses later on in the card. Basically, a combonation of taking advantage of a track bias, and running a giant race, equalled a very fast time over a racetrack that was yielding slow times all day long. Also, Flying First Class is a Wayne Lukas trained horse, and his horses have been notoriously inconsistant over the last several years...and often run a big race and fall off form. If you look at High Heels, she was routed by a Lukas filly in her prep for the Fantasy...in the Fantasy, she won by a large margin over Cotton Blossom and Cash Included...the same Lukas filly who destroyed her in her previous start ran dismally on that day. Hard Spun, who raced on the same card, was wide on both turns, and taken off the pace for the first time....thus meaning he ran against the track...as opposed to FFC...who ran with it. |
