Automatic disqualification by order of the stewards on the recommendation of the track psychotherapist.

Caracortado won a 9f race restricted to FL- and CA-breds. At least we know Free's not being subsidized by Jenny Craig (the way Jay Hovdey was by the Moss's), else he would have reserved that mantle for her other run-off, Sidney's Candy.

I know. Talmo should stick with Fluke. Horse can run.

The only problem seems to be that Fluke only runs once every 6 months. How likely is it he'll show for the Kilroe?

Someone should take the ankle monitor off of Gary Tanaka.

Then at least the hard knocker Proudinsky would probably make a few more starts per year.

If there is a best horse in America, that horse wouldn't have wins in only 1 state.

He didn't dominate the Malibu in any way, shape, or form.

His race yesterday was good but, as has been said already, he has to beat someone better than Dweebster before he's crowned the best horse on the face of the earth.

Who would he need to beat? Twirling Candy would rip Morning Line's guts out. Morning Line is awesome his heart is amazing he just isnt fast enough. He now has lost to Dakota Phone and Giant Oak while running his A race!

I guess I was right.

You've repressed the memory of the Goodwood.

These run off types that never learn to rate and use their natural ability as learned sometimes dont figure it out race one. But you knew that you simply didnt believe that Twirling Candy would "get it" but now he sits garden stalking trips and rates with ease. Imagine that John where's Yoko?
