wow what a day of races

Postby bdw0617 » Sat Apr 07, 2012 2:52 pm

the wood and the SA derby where both thrillers


though the SA was a much better race than the wood. CA will defiantly move up off that. he reminds me so much of Real quiet.

Is the main track at Santa Anita a full 3 seconds faster than Aqueduct?

With grade 1 (or supposedly grade 1) horses, I think not, but that's the difference between the winners of the Wood and and Santa Anita Derby.

Again, may I have another translator. Slow down the fingers so that we have a clue about what you are writing. You know how to spell but you couldn't prove it by us.

you need to get off your rainbow farting high horse.


there is not one misspelled word in my original post. the e button on my laptop is sticky and sometimes the space comes after the e so you have 2 words that have the e spaced. you act like i'm typing dlkifhdlfhdlfhdlfhjdlhfldjf


or something

but to actually sit there and waste an entire post about that, good god how boring of a person you must be. just like i said in the mud slinging rant you are a pathetic person who goes by and just does drive by's on my post for no reason than you are suck at life. i've never done anything to you. i've never stated anything to you. i don't argue with you.

good god the day after 2 of the better prep races of the year and you come here and you want to talk about some actual real live horse racing and people like you just shit the party. YOU are the reason this forum has gone to hell

Wrong.

I find it very distracting to read a post and to have to keep stopping and trying to interpret what you meant. YOU KNOW what you meant, so why not write THAT instead of something which may or may not come close?

Wow. I figured the speed numbers would have been higher for the SA Derby than the Wood. Hmmm... I assume Alpha had the same number as Gemologist?
No matter. They were both exciting to watch.

That is surprising.

1/4 mile between Final 1/8th mile 2 X 1/8
6 f and 1 mile

I'll Have Another :24.22 :12.52 (:25.04)
Gemologist :25.20 :13.22 (:26.44)
Done Talking :26.71 :14.03 (:28.06)

El Prado is there a sight that publishes the above figures or do you purchase from DRF?
