Its not worth playing, at all IMO. Flashback might be really good, and he might not be much and he might not be ready off the layoff, but that field is trash and I think he is like 80% likely to win that race. Seems like a huge waste of time and money trying to beat him in this spot. Waiting for BC races. You get 3 BC pick 3's. Thats enough for me.

I think shes still champ 3yr old filly, no she did not run at all. But Beholder did not have a real campaign, spotty. She has 1 huge win today, a huge second and that prep win that was IMO OK. Only Close Hatches could have took that honor away, and she ran well, but not good enough.

I could actually see them running POS back at Aqueduct THanksgiving weekend. They kept her in training for this, the track was a joke and she did not run 1 step. If shes OK, they could run her.

While I agree about the way it should be voted I think you are selling Beholder short who beat elders twice in grade 1 races, won the SA Oaks and was super game in the Ky Oaks. She did have a injury issue though so she should have to pay a price for that.

No, I did not. I said that she had no chance to win the race on such a ridiculously biased race track before they even got into the gate, I never evaluated her run today.

You tried to mix up my words in your never ending trolling quest to take shots at me whenever you see an opening. Keep trying troll.

By the way, you still haven't answered the question of who did run a step from that far back today?

Golden Ticket, and he is not nearly as good as Princess of Sylmar.

That is laughable. You can come up with one horse that made up some ground late on the rail where everyone close to the pace but the winner collapsed out of 6 dirt races and you believe that it undermines my point?

You are trolling. Just admit it and move on.

Does this track make anyone want to use Diamond Bachlor in the Juvy? I thought being inside of Havana might land him on the lead.

The track is in the process of being sealed, then rolled and scraped.

You asked for a horse that closed, I gave it to you. Now you are saying a horse that closed but....

Princess of Sylmar was inside as well the entire race.

You think that the track was not speed biased today?

Definitely, I just dont think POS ran a step, which is what you disputed.

Back to the same factually incorrect argument that didn't work the first time?

Remember, it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and and remove all doubt.

One can argue Beholder lost in the Oaks was better the Sylmars win.
Princess ran away from a 2x champion. Beholder beat Authenticity.

Trust me, thinking that POS ran at all is a losing argument, but continue to blame the track, I am sure you will be in the majority.
