Boy Showing Up was AWESOME. I was so totally wrong about this horse. Looks like all the talk was well worth it. Great job to all who wagered on him.

I wasn't going to play the race and then I saw 25-1 on Kip, so I put in a small win bet on him, what a monster race Kip De Ville ran, he looked like one of those European rabbits only he looked like he did it easy and wasn't being urged through it. I tell you what that was a mind blowing race by Kip, I really don't know how to describe it, absolutely flying and he looks like he was gliding along, they need to harness that speed to be effective at a distance, but great race from him.

What was the results of this race?

Did Kip Deville really steal off to a 16 length lead? I'm sure the announcer was wrong -anyway, holy cow. Poor Kip - he really did run a stunning race, but he ended up setting up for Showing Up........

Showing up won, Kip held on for 2nd, don't know who ran 3rd, but Kip ran 22.5 45 108.4

You gotta see it to understand how awesome Kip Deville was!!!! Words cant describe it. I know one guy (bold ruler) who trashed the horse up and down who just blew the tri and exacta because of him. Went out to a 15 length lead from the 14 hole and ran 6F in 1:08:4 and still held 2nd. Trust me, Showing Up wants no part of Kip in a rematch with a real jock on his back. Hes the story of this race, and will get more attention the winner. Go Between was 3rd, delighting those who used him in the trifecta!!!!!!!!

Go Between got 3rd

Yes KIP did run off to a 16 length lead. He ran a HUGE race.

Couldn't see the race, can't get results, who got third?

Keep your petty jealousy to yourself. I just made a few grand and my friend just cleared over $25K. Dutrow's horse is another Sinister Minister. Showing Up is a future star. A star, just like Barbaro.

The horse that ran huge was the winner. He reeled that horse in and blew by him.

Come on Bold, good for you to win, but when's the last time you've seen a turf horse blow threw those fractions and still hold on, my god, if Showing Up didn't win there he should hang it up. That was one of the most impressive races on the Turf I have seen in a long time and he was gliding along.

LOL!! HA HA HA HA !!! Tri paid 636 for a buck!!! How many times you have that? You have teh exacta? And I hate to break this to you but no way is Showing Up better than Kip!!! And everyoen knows it!! A yound inexperienced jockey who had teh 14 hole just set the fastest splits in track history for a route race(thats a fact, noone at Clonial had ever broken 1:09 for 6 in a route race) on a rdiciulous lead of 16 lengths and still held 2nd. Good luck next time , you will need it.
WHy don't you bash IEAH some more huh? How many times you have that exacta and tri? LOL!!!!

SO I guess you didnt have the tri huh? Geez thats a shame!!! How come all the guys who arent as might as you seem to keep cashing IRS tickets and you don't? Keying Go Between to get in the tri appears to have been teh right concept, ah well, what do I know?!! LOL!!!
Sorry about that tri and exacta bro. Mayeb next time.

Showing Up has every right to like the turf (his sire was a stakes winner on it) and he does have a turf stride. He ran a very good race, but he was supposed to reel in Kip after Kip set those incredible fractions; he was a dead tired horse, and understandably so. No knocks on the winner, though - it's just hard to quantify how good that performance was simply because the 2nd place finisher ran out of his mind.

[Gander]

What the heck happened to the rest of the closers? Rock Lobster should have been flying late. I thought Go Between was the winner on the far turn and maybe Lobster would get 2nd.

i guess Showing Up was a $60k purchase as a 2 yr old. good buy.

Great buy. Horse will earn close to $2M alone this year. If he wins the bonus, that is $5M.

I can't wait until that next race, good for Kev that he saw it live, he's had some bad luck, but I bet he had a good day seeing that race live. This next race will get alot of talk on here and he'll get to see it in person...
