That Tiznow horse in the Jefferson Cup looed good. He beat little but he rebroke in the lane for a 1/16 and then eased to the wire. He looks ready to try better.

Does anyone think that Eistein put in a hell of a performance? I remember a few posts that began with "why" and "poorly handled" I think he made a real good showing for himself.

Not really that impressed. . . he ran a similar race to his race in the Donn probably. I liked Tizdejavu in his last race but was shocked by how he ran today. Granted, he did get an easy lead, but the way he opened up was pretty impressive and wasn't something I was expecting. Gravitational ran pretty big too - he might be one to watch. I wish Hystericalady and Ginger Punch had run in the same race. . .

I think there is some short sightedness when it comes to this race and what they were trying to do. I think this was a test to see how he would do against the "rest" of the handicap division. Curlin does not look like hes pointing towards the BCC and who knows about BB. So seeing the classic is being run on the turf, oh I mean polytrack, I think this is a good sign that they might and I mean might, try pointing this horse to the classic if they can get a similar field minus Curlin.

No. He wasn't even close and he got 10 pounds. He has a chance at a turf Eclipse and they are running him on the dirt. Makes no sense. He can't compete with top dirt horses and the Donn showed that.

Are you talkin about a race that happened back in January? And yea he wasnt even close yesterday but nobody was or could be. I liked the run he made in the stretch.

Not saying that Einstein ran huge, but that 20-1 shot was allowed to get away with murder on the front end.
