Shouldn't this race be a mile and three sixteenth? I thought that was more Evening Attire's cup o' tea.

Good luck to Arson Squad, a very cool old guy.

Oh I was gonna say shouldn't they be instructed to stand around momentarily after the gates open and then start running?

Very "cool old guy" to be sure, but it surprised me a little to see him as the 8/5 favorite on the ML given that several horses in the race are coming off nice wins over the inner. Personally I like Heart Butte the best here.

More like a mile and 5/8ths. Evening Attire would have been a shoo-in if they had had the BC Marathon in his hay-day.

Did you see the 3-horse Ormonde S-G3 at Chester of a few years back? I think it was 2008. The pace horses scratched out, the 3 came out of the gate at little above a walking pace, nearly came to a standstill after cantering gently for several strides; took a half-furlong before one jock put his horse into a gallop and took the lead (they won, too).

Well two of you guys seem to think I'm braindead or something and no, I wouldn't take him at that price.
To be clear I am not playing this race nor do I think he wins here... I just like him a lot and wish him well. Always have a soft spot for the older boys... Playing Flemington tonight and maaaybe Aus A as well... haven't looked at that yet. That might be it for me for the weekend or at least till Monday. Ann... no I didn't see that one but if you can find a replay would love to watch it! |

Perhaps they were attempting to honor him and that's why they ran that opening half mile in :51.67 .

Doesn't make sense based on the rest of the day. They are apparently trying to re-time it.
