Re: The 146th Running of the GR I Travers Stakes
After watching the race yesterday, I certainly hope Team AP decides to give the horse a rest. Second place is no shame, but to me it was apparent American Pharoah didn't have his usual spark. He did shake off Frosted and I don't think Frosted pressed him all that much with the fractions posted. AP j...

Re: American Pharoah wins triple crown :)
I cried before the race, a total wreck. But I had a feeling deep down in my gut that AP would win it. When he turned for home and was going so nice and easy, I yelled my full head off with tears running down my face. I was nine when I watched Affirmed be crowned and have waited patiently ever since ...

Re: Rosie goes out with a bang
I was fortunate to watch her ride in Maryland as an apprentice and work her way into the big league. I bragged on her to my friends, family, and co-workers. I wanted her to be the first woman to ride a Derby winner. Alas I won't get my wish. I know full well she will be an awesome mom...I also see h...

Re: My post breeders cup thoughts
Didn't watch the BC this weekend...the bloom is off the rose for me with the races being held at the same track for the last couple of rounds. I think that shows the state of horse racing in this country. The way tracks are closing it won't be long before there won't be any place to hold a BC. Hell,...

Re: Hey, BC! Is Anybody Listening?
I find it incredibly boring to have it held at the same venue for back to back years. I can't remember the last time I actually sat down and watched the BC. I love the sport, but the BC has lost its charm and attraction to me.

I agree bdw...I saw the fraction for the half and I was like "yep, slow go" which let Stevens and Oxbow pretty much steal the race from any closer. I believe Orb did get into a little traffic and with the slow pace perhaps got frustrated. He might need a quick pace to allow him to throw it into a hi...
