This is a great idea. I've been talking about MTH having a lot of untapped potential. A relationship between NYRA/FOX/America's Day at the Races and Saratoga Live could get the ball rolling and...

I'm wondering whether even though the track condition was listed as fast there might have still been some moisture in the base that moved him up?

To me, the fractions/flow debate is similar to the class/speed debate.

All I'll say (which is consistent with much of what I've said on "class") is that horses with plenty of speed will sometimes put up dazzling final time figures when they catch a soft field, shake...

Apparently the rider of Forever Young did not think what happened warranted a foul claim. That's at least what I read he said after the race.

You won't get push back from me. I used to think the same thing about Nick Zito in the days he was winning races. IMO, some trainers are more likely to get consistent efforts and slow steady...

I had Sierra Leone and Forever Young boxed. The bumping cost both of them. IMO they would have been 1-2 without that.

Something like would require the stewards to know the tendencies of every horse. We are lucky they show up and don't screw up even more races. ;)

I watched it again. I think he came out a hair and SE came in a little more than that. They bumped and then all hell broke loose.

I think he's a very fast horse that can put up a big number when he gets a track surface or weak field/relaxed trip that allows him to carry his speed longer.

It would not shock me if he turns...

I only watched the head-on a couple of time but I thought the initial bump may have been caused by Forever Young coming out a bit. It was at least close. Then the rest of it was Sierra Leone doing...

I agree that there should have been an inquiry and DQ, but it doesn’t surprise me that there wasn’t one. The Derby has always been like the NBA playoffs. They allow for more physicality in the Derby...

Top Connor had a nightmare trip from hell. He had trouble at the start, was rushed into the race early and then was hung very wide around the turn. Given the trip, I think he actually ran well.
