Default the best/worst in racing..

id say the best move in racing is the fade out of the inside horse to block the outside in the last turn..prado is very good at this. the extra dist that the outside must make up is almost allways 3-4 lenths too much......when its a two horse race that move is a killer...if you are on the wrong side of it..its the worst move..lol

the worst thing is a horse breaking down......

the best thing is seeing your horse weave through other horses and just get up for the win at the wire......

Default Something that just takes your breath away

Something that just takes your breath away.

Your house sitting behind 2 walls of horses 3 wide and your in the 2 path with 6 other horses forming a line a line in the 2 to 3 path. Then watch your horse ease up to last as they approach the final turn, thinking that something is wrong. Then watching your horse coming back in the screen going 4 wide to pass everyone and win the race.

I can't remember the horse's name, but I believe it was Johnny V in March this year.

As a bettor, the best thing is for your horse to break out of the gate on top and comfortably go wire to wire, with no stresses.

I dont like to sweat, thats why my biggest plays are usually on early speed types. American dirt racing has turned into "speed rules" and I dont see it ever changing.
