Evening Attire

[TheSpyder]

Horse is unreal. Absoluetly left at the gate and lost, what 8-10 lengths comes back to lose by a length.

Great job.

Welcome to the board..... Got anything good to add here

HAve not heard what Steve said but the horse fell a sleep in the gate and was left way behind. You got a problem with a lot of us liking a horse?

thats the standard operating procedure for this guy. it almost seems like the worse his start is, the better he finishes. i find it funny to watch his starts because he just seems to walk out of the gate, in no particular hurry.

Actually I was 1/2 listening and it wasn't Steve who did the so called kissing, it was whoever he is chatting with that commented on how wonderful Evening Attire's connections are. EDIT and they are, Steve and whoever is on were talking about that they would also retire him in a minute if he didn't want to run.

Evening Attire has a HUGE fan club here, win or lose we don't care, it's fun to watch the old, gray guy.

We should give him a break. It's tough to live up to as great a post as his first one.

Did UPS lose the shipment of Frank's Energy drink? lol

Good to see EA get another nice check and come home safe.

You can like whoever you want. You can throw him in the same sentence as Secretariat like the caller did. The fact is he lost.

Why is this horse still allowed to race is my question? I'm being totally serious, too. How is it fair to the betting public to allow a horse that rarely leaves the gate on time to race?

I think not leaving the gate on time is Evening Attire's "Strategic Mission" for winning races.

Maybe you should have made a $30 place bet on him today?? My guess is those that bet him in some aspect are saying..."quite fair".

No offense, but I'm not really interested in what he thinks about it. I'm more interested why the stewards allow it. What do you think?

[the_fat_man]

I wonder if any of those in man-horse love with him actually BET any money.

That is the objective, to cash, right?

Does it really matter?? People that included him in an exacta in race 8 at Belmont potentially won money on him today. People who love him and didn't bet on him won nothing. Yes, this is quite a conflict here!

I would imagine since he hits the board pretty consistently and isn't odds-on most of the time the Stewards are hard pressed to ban him from racing. I also think that since he is Evening Attire he gets some slack. I just enjoy watching him run.

He's a bad gate horse. There are a whole slew of bad gate horses. Where do you draw the line? Two lengths slow? Five lengths slow? Refusal to break? As a bettor, you know he's likely to break slowly and factor that into the equation as to what's a fair price. He did win a graded stakes race in December despite a slow break and almost won another today.
