The horse everyone is talking about who won big on the turf at Belmont today looked impressive. Jaycito ran a gutsy race going wide both turns and running down the favorite.

What was so good about Lookin At Lucky's performance?

He took advantage of a fast pace that absolutely collapsed in front of him - and beat a laughably overmatched field in moderate time. The 3yo fillies in the Indiana Oaks only ran 1/5th slower at the same distance 30 minutes prior - and each of the top four finishers from that race ran a faster final 2.5 furlongs than LAL did.

You're right about the race. What impresses me about him (and Blind Luck) is that they run their race every time regardless of track or surface.

That's because they are closers.

[richard burch]

Haynesfield.

I'm not sure what that has to do with it.
Neither horse has really run a bad race and I will be using both on BC day. Just my opinion (and money ).

Obviously Haynesfield and Redding Collery both ran awesome races.

They probably won't survive a torrid pace in the Classic with other quality speeds like Quality Road ... but I'm not going to pretend they both didn't run better races than horses like LAL, Blame, Zenyatta .. who all will figure to benefit next month.

God forbid if Zenyatta decides to run next year...

Nice looking animal … but not sure what was so impressive about the NY-bred yesterday.

Allowed to run by himself thru slow early splits

Yeah, that was awesome.

He'll probably turn back into FC at CD…

Nothing impressive at all. Paceless race, leads to this... Nothing more.

Friggen Rinterval has lost 20 out of her last 21 races ... she got smoked at Presque Isle - of all the horses to recieve death threats.
