The winner had a dream trip. Being hemmed in, while saving ground, as others were making premature wide moves, is fine as long as you eventually get out, which the winner did.

For what it's worth, there are no sour grapes here, as I boxed the first two finishers in the exacta.

I could be wrong but I thought she checked or was streadied a couple of times in the race...

Many horses get steadied along in traffic. To me, this does not constitute trouble.

Has Jorge Chavez ever ridden a horse that was never checked or steadied?

I'm not looking for an arguement....thought she made a nice late run and just did not see it as being a dream trip...

What's wrong with an arguement?

Where on the list of grievances was " can't watch a race? "

For me, it would be very high up, but you know me, I only date girls that can spot subtle trouble.

Yeah, but she may have actually been wrong occasionally.

Unlike me.
