Robby deserves some for the ride he just put on Grasshopper

So he was 3 wide for a bit early.

He sure did not run like he was 1-5.

He ran a very good race. Albarado always gives those overconfident rides where he hits the front too soon. Textbook Albarado beat

I just thought he got beat by a decent horse. The 10 showed some decent lines. The 'hopper at 1-5? I'm surprised he was that low. But that's not nearly as surprising as the Labred Cost Rising being the favorite here.

Maybe Im partial because I dont like the way he rides. It seems like whenever I make a large bet he gives that same over confident ride and gets ran down. Ive seen it happen a thousand times, unfortunately 999 of those times I bet the horse hes on. I didnt bet GH because I dont take odds like that, but hes gotten me beat countless times with that same, wide trip, confident, hit the front early, bonehead ride.

No doubt the other figured, but GH should have won. He shoudlnt have been 1 to 5 either, ridiculous.

I agree too.

Could someone kondly post the result of the11th at LaD?

I have Corey County.

My wonderful ADW provider has, in it's wisdom, decided to show Vernon Downs under the LaD signal.

I needed Grasshopper for my token straight tri play, but there was nothing at all wrong with that ride.

He got caught wide on the turns - but, with the post he had and the way the break played - it wasn't the riders fault.

The pace certainly didn't appear to be that taxing.

The winner of that race is certainly better than his form looks - and Grasshopper ran like it's possible that his Saratoga form might not be as good as it looks on paper.
