Glad I asked you to pick us out a race today..she had so much pace to run into, it set up perfect for her...

[gotbeer]

Dammit, I got busy and missed out.  Nice hit @Homebrewer @Adam would like his commission paypaled to him so he can bet on the next race.  Degenerate.

[Adam]

Lol

 

i think the 1 is a lock in the 9th. 

 

Not playing today fyi

[Homebrewer]

so I think a $1300 hit puts me in the black for our funny money tourney this month..

I'm gonna fill buckets guys...23-1!

I bet it for .50.

I had visions of more than 159 with the 7 underneath..

[Adam]

I had the right idea, but the wrong horse. No 8 and I crush

When you win, it makes all the sense in the world.

So, went to the track today, and this was race 1.  I need the opinions of the guys that know.  Granted I have not seen it on my computer.  Only saw the replays on my phone.  But 1 month suspension?

And from what I understand from guys at the track, he (the horse) got back up and walked into the trailer.  Not so lucky in race 2.

Can't find a youtube video.  Just watch a replay of race 1, and 2, since I have opinions on both, for Santa Anita.

previous post should have been @Adam and @Homebrewer and @Lou and even @Tank.  Although Tank probably won't be able to see it.  I just saw it again, and I'm again pissed.

Couple gnarly breakdowns. Same jock? I don't understand what the jock did to cause those falls. Riding hard.

I was watching that race at SA, when the 6 went down. Is that one of the spills you are talking about?

[gotbeer]

IMO, Race 1.  It looked like the jock accidentally or on purpose punched the horse in the face, which of course caused the horse to go stage right.

Race 2.  Again IMO.  You can watch in the stretch, the horse suddenly veers out.  And again, IMO, the horse just didn't look right after that.  He was laboring.  And no matter how much I rail on Mike Shit, or Bendejo, or any of the top jocks.  The moment they feel something is not right they will ease up.  But this looked like this jock, I think Delgadillo, rode the horse to protect his place money.

here's what i can tell you:

 

[Homebrewer]

I somehow missed part of the above conversation yesterday.

But I only saw 1 fall..it was deep stretch and involved the 6. Watching track feeds, they never go back and show the fall. They carry on as if the horse never started..that said, all I saw was a horse being ridden hard and straight.

I think that was the second fall.  The first race was much more gnar.  If you have xpressbet, watch a replay. 

[Homebrewer]

Geez....it's hard to tell what happened there from the side view, and they completely cut video of the fall out of the HO replay.

[Adam]

Uncontested is a sprinter. That's what I learned yesterday. 

One Liner got a 102 beyer - leader in the clubhouse but I think the track was running super fast yesterday.

Lookin At Lee went from last to 3rd in the stretch. This years Suddenbreakingnews. He will be around at the bottom of exotics in May. One interesting thing about him if you like him - he did that off of the layoff. Should improve next out.

 

Gun Runner was also super impressive off the layoff. But again fast track?

[Homebrewer]

Looks like AnnArborEddie burned a bunch of money at GG. DQ'd for interference in the stretch but he wasn't going to win anyhow...the 50-100 point races are coming up, and things are gonna get serious.

Watching the replay of that race...it didn't look like Eddie lugged out or anything, it looked like he just wanted to get over next to the horse coming up on the outside (the eventual winner and the longest price on the board). Maybe it was a case of a jock losing control, and a young horse not knowing any better? I don't know. Weird one.. 

Risin Star this weekend looks like a good betting race. Full field and the ML favorite is 7-2.

Can't post replays from xpressbet where I was watching them...they might be on youtube, but I doubt it since they weren't important races.
