Yeah my horse looked kinda funny like it was missing half its nose but its body and legs are clearly in front of the 1.The photos at NYRA you can tell down to a nostril hair.This photo looked like you were watching from the rail.

I thought so too without the photo.It looked like the 3 got even a jump before the wire and had way more momentum the stride through the wire.Definitely shady

paid peanuts needed that 1 in for 3rd

[mikemca]

Pretty sure the Futurity is between Creative Cause and Drill but I'm gonna throw a small bet on Sheer Talent and play the other 2 in doubles and pick 3

[Poppa Catfish]

this always happens when I single a favorite, the field plots against me

[Poppa Catfish]

they completely took the 8 out

[Poppa Catfish]

That was so blatant

[Poppa Catfish]

Ridiculous, simply ridiculous. Flores needs to be suspended

[mikemca]

The 4 took the 8 and 6 out.Think Baffert is pretty pissed as that is a nice horse in Drill that could have ended badly

[Poppa Catfish]

He should be pretty pissed, Flores was whipping on the left side, horse was veering out right and Flores keeps whipping left handed side, no attempt to correct the horse at all. He made a direct line right for the 8.

Incredibly frustrating, I just can't catch a break today. Not a sure thing that the 8 wins without the bumping, but at least I'm given an honest shot.

[Poppa Catfish]

The 4 bumped him twice, once towards the end of the stretch, he veers over and gets him, then they get separation they run several strides later on he decides to come over later and completely take him out.

That was totally fixed

[runner5k]

Wow after watching the replay the 4 should have been taken down completely and the jockey should get some days even though its the end of the meet. That was very deliberate.

He was marking him the whole way too, you could tell what his intention was, hope he is suspended, did you see how drill was almost knocked sideways? Very close to career ending... And yet he still finished the race at a record time, amazing horse.

The silver lining at the end of the day, is that my 2 year old colt now cries when my wife changes the channel off horse racing.

If the 8 wins Josi wins
If the 1 wins Tony wins
If the 2 wins Pstrangers wins
If the 5 wins Poppa Catfish wins

Love that decision, but for whatever reason ( I get every obscure track imaginable from England to South Africa and on) I don't have betting for that track where I play, so I guess I'll go sit this one out.

[josicoyote]

Congrats.Mike.good.job.

[zebra58]

nice scores & good job mike

[mikemca]

Thx Josi/Zebra....My main reason for posting is to note that I gave Hawkwind 81 points via post 9 of this thread.It is for the Saratoga contest.Hawkwind you didn't make a sports pick so I did it for you and just transferred the points.
