Default Aqu R6: Can't wait

to see all the people on here go nuts about the start of the 6. unless you played against him.

How did they break the gates when the horses head was SIDEWAYS

A better question is how people take 7:5 on first time starters who are bred to sprint that are going a route in their debut. That obviously means the horse has no speed. Kind of puts him behind the eight ball on a speed track with four sprinters stretching out.

I would rather let that keep happening. Thank you for that new angle. I have never thought about it that way (Bred to sprint going route first time = no early speed)

Played the late pick 4 at AQU, and the 6 was the first toss of the play. I felt whole vindication when he did whatever he did leaving the gate.
