Do you read your posts before hitting submit? I'm sure you know exactly what your post(s) is about, but the rest of us aren't mind readers. It's like you are having a conversation with yourself and randomly throw one of your comments, completely out of context, onto the board.

Who are you talking about? Biofuel? Connie and Michael? Devil May Care?

BTW, I thought Connie and Michael ran a very game race.

Connie and Michael is strange....she begins to fade looking like she's going to finish up the track...then she comes on again as if she wasn't that tired after all.

This tends to happen quite a bit when a given horse passes another horse on the way to making a significant big against (either) the winner (or a horse that's very strong at that point). After the run Biofuel put in against the winner, she figured to come back a bit late.

On the one hand, I lose a ton of exactas (and tris) this way and it steams the **** out of me (when a horse I've passed early in the stretch comes back and gets me late). On the other, we wouldn't want a jock to be out there for 2nd money, so I can understand when they try to beat a horse that's just too strong for them and bury their horse in the process.

NO way. I can't imagine that.
