I think Stallion of The Year was decided.....
Smart Strike and Distorted Humor were both having amazing years...but things went in opposite directions for them today.
Smart Strike with his big three of Curlin, English Channel, and Fabulous Strike got a pair of wins in the two most important BC races on the card...while his speed figure specialist sprinter was unfortuantely sidelined. Distorted Humor, on the other hand, had several touted horses running today. In fact, he had an amazing five runners who went off at single digit odds today..... * In the Juvenile Fillies - Izarra (second favorite in the betting) finished 10th beaten a city block. * In the Juvenile - Z Humor (6/1 fourth choice in the betting) was beaten 19 lengths. * In the Sprint - Commentator (9/1 shot) was a distant 7th. * In the Distaff - Hystericalady (9/1 in the betting) was 2nd beaten only a neck - however, her losing was stunning in my warped mind. * In the Classic - Any Given Saturday (6th beaten 28 lengths at 7/2 odds) Oh forget it......the purpose of this whole post was just to try and make an excuse for Hystericalady's loss. The old subtle Distorted Humor's must just hate the Monmouth Park sloppy track tactic. |
