Les Grand Trois

[jpops757]

For me this was the most disapointing performance of the week-end.Has there been any valid excuses? The horse looked to have the perfect trip and everything his way untill he was asked to run and then nothing.

I agree. His start didn't help him but I thought he had recovered fast enough and gotten himself in perfect position to win if he was good enough. He wasn't on this day.

Horses from Cali suck? I can't wait until/if Magnificience ships east.

I think Magnificience is 100% the real deal, she is awesome. As for Le Gran Trois, he did not have a perfect trip in my opinion if anything he had a pretty bad trip, but to me how was he disapointing ? It was only his third career start he had a maiden and allowance win under his belt, he was only disapointing because everyone hyped him up so much, he has beat no one in his career coming into saturday and for him to be 3-5 was crazy, even when i played my pick 4 saturday i went 3 deep in the race thinking Le Gran Trois was beatable.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see if Magnificience is the real deal. I know if I were a trainer with an in-law on the state racing board that chances are my horses would be whoopin ass on the home track. Consider me suspect of this horse outside of Cali.

numbers wise she blows every other 3yr old filly away, including rags to riches, not to mention she has been as visually impressive as they come.

With the bad start LGT was there comming for home and nothing. With the talent I was expecting he should have bloew by them. I just probably over estimated this horse. I didnt see any thing to make me think that this was a instance where LGT lost and under performed. If the bad start is the excuse then it exposes him to be less talented than I expected.

LEs Grand Trois broke his maiden at Belmont, so he's not a california horse, per say. I didn't like his race at all Saturday, despite the inside trip where he had to check a couple times, he had a chance to win and didn't.

And you're right, Headly isn't shipping magnificence. I think she's running in the 2nd week of May at Hollywood in a Grade III.

I think he had a fairly poor ride, but that being said, he didn't look good enough to win on that day anyway.

He faced better horses and a hotter pace than he has in in first two races. The result was that he didn't have much left in the stretch.
I wasn't surprised at all with his third place finish
