Default Friesan Fire excuse?

Friesan Fire was severely compromised by getting stepped on coming out of the gate. Though he raced in seventh position and in the clear down the backside, he backed up around the far turn under Gabriel Saez. Friesan Fire came back to the unsaddling area with blood emanating from his left front foot. He had part of his left front foot ripped off, known as grabbing a quarter.

"He got hit real bad leaving the gate," Jones said as he walked back to the barn. "He's bleeding. If you see blood on the track, it's his."

I know alot of people will say the layoff did him in, but this kind of injury is painful and will make a horse not run. Man, I feel bad for Larry Jones, I wanted him to win bad.

It was all good when this PLUG was getting perfect trips and winning. Sucks when **** doesn't go ALL your own way sometimes.

Anyone who bet this horse should be required to read all the literature out there on the BOUNCE.

Have a couple toenails ripped off and see how well YOU run. Even with adrenalin running strongly, the pain starts to get to you soon enough.

You are getting more retarded by the day.

Your theories about drafting being more than adequate compensation for taking up and have nowhere to run is one thing, but this is an entirely new level up dumbness.

I now rank you as the most ludicrous poster on here. You are now ahead of even SDJCOM (who has greatly improved) and RB.

I think you are starting to make PG1985 look like a genius.
