Fierceness' jockey was out to lunch
Nah. My two horses beat each other up for half the stretch. Both of them pass the winner if they lay off each other. I had a couple of nice horizontals live. I don't need a show bettor rubbing it in.
I know nothing about the sport but that was a fun race.Sierra Leone laid on Forever Young for the length of the stretch. If he runs straight, he still finishes second and the Japanese horse wins.
Horse was empty, jockey had him in perfect spot. He will likely come back and win preaknessFierceness' jockey was out to lunch
John Velazquez? Probably the best big race jockey maybe ever?Fierceness' jockey was out to lunch

Horse was completely empty. Sat the perfect trip and had nothing when they came off the final turn. The horse is either brilliant or no where. Horse has no heart and can't replicate his form in back to back races. My guess is they sit him till the Travers and then go to the lead in every race from here on out. That horse quits as soon as another horse comes to it.
Would have been really interesting if SL got up if they actually looked at it because by every rule SL should have been taken down. Beyond the lugging in for almost the whole stretch Tyler grabbed the reigns of forever young right before the line which is very against the rules. Wild stuff. Forever Young was easily the best horse in the race when you watch the replay and trip. Great ride on the winner tho can't take anything away from snaking the rail like that.
Would be interested in Forever Young in the Classic at the end of the year if they come back.
That would have been the best result for me.Sierra Leone laid on Forever Young for the length of the stretch. If he runs straight, he still finishes second and the Japanese horse wins.
Heartless and gutlessCalling out a horse for having no heart, I love it.
He's an athlete who hates adversity and throws in the towel at any point when things don't go completely his own way. What would we call a basketball player who maybe played at Duke that did this?Calling out a horse for having no heart, I love it.

Don't be so sanctimonious about turn of phrases because they are horses. Just don't tune in if something like that is going to offend you.
Me as well, both are very goodThat would have been the best result for me.
Yup. So I’ll take Fierceness out of the money.
That would have been the best result for me.
Gotta love horse racing.A lot of things went exactly wrong for you yesterday. I mean, an impressive amount.
He is probably the best ever. The best ever can have a bad day.John Velazquez? Probably the best big race jockey maybe ever?
