Peace.
Agreed. Sometimes my brilliance intimidates people, but there is no need for attacking me personally.

I just watched the replay, and WOW. Another outstanding performance by this lovely mare. I think that she can definitely hit the board in the Turf after watching her today. Sensational is the word...

She is a filly, not a mare. Another reason why she has no shot against good older mares from Europe.

If The Tin Man runs sets those splits in the Arlington Million, or any other race with the likes of English Channel and Cacique in there....they both run by him like he was standing still.

I agree with Richi...a gutsy effort, not his A game, but all out to hold off TH Approval and Artiste Royal is not the kind of effort you are looking for going into the BC. But, he is 8YO and he has to be getting tired after the year he has had. Even if he finishes off the board in the BC Turf, he has nothing to be ashamed of this year.

Nostra,
Yes she's a filly.
I'm not sure I'd discount her that quickly.
We'll just have to wait to a while to see who they ship over to run against her.
She looked good to me today.
I'll wait a while.

GPK,
Nothing I disagree with. Gutsy, to say the least.
Slow early fractions says a lot, and coming back from two bowed tendons and all the time off, yup. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Let's see how he came out of this race before we talk about the BC for him.
He was tested hard.

ps...check out the "joke of the day in "esoteric"...I put up two golf jokes just for you.

Now this is funny. I am sure that Ouija Board, Gorella, Alexandrova are all real real scared of Wait A While.

she looked good, real good. handled that field of older mares with ease. but as for november....big difference between the field today and what she'll face at churchill. that's not hating, that's the truth. maybe she'll step up to that challenge. sure would be nice....

Also, Ouija Board and Alexandrova are probably over here head, but not the others. Gorella most likely will go in the mile again. I think she can finish the Tri.

I absolutely love that Showing Up is going into the mile. This horse is tough at the shorter distances, and he now has a race under his belt against older. He should move up from his last race.

The biggest mistake in racing has been made by Dallas Stewart -- and the mistake is not running Lemons Forever on the turf. She took care of Wait A While in the Kentucky Oaks and has a great turf pedigree.

I'm not knocking Wait A While, she's spectacular, but Dallas Stewart could have done the same with Lemons Forever.

Just watched the race. The tin man is the pace setter. He is going to try to slow the race down as much as possible and succeeds.

Time doesnt make much of a difference in turf races and thats why beyers on turf are so unreliable.

He did what he had to do to win. its as simple as that.

I wouldnt bet him in the BC or anything. Im not saying that he is the best horse in the country. But im not ready to say that he is slower than Wait awhile on the basis of time in two different races.
