On a day where passing horses in the stretch was pretty tough, this guy found himself in the back of the pack early. He started to pick off runners entering the turn and just did get up for 2nd while no match for the winner. A fairer track and a better placing early might help […]
Yet another frontrunner that raced on the slower inside only to be run down by the outside closers in the stretch. The gelding really did fight on bravely in the stretch and was only passed with about 6-7 strides before the wire. A fairer track could help him show more stick in his next start. […]
Broke well, but was outrun for the lead by three others to her inside and she found herself in a different pace scenario than usual as she was in midpack up the backstretch. The filly was near the back at the top of the stretch as the frontrunner began to throw in the towel. She […]
On a day where early speed did really well, this mare had little chance after a slow start where she was at the back of the pack early. She also didn’t seem to enjoy the kick back up the backstretch. The mare made a run around the turn, but flattened out late in a race […]
Set the pace in his last start, but was allowed to track the leaders in this spot. He likely gained a lot of experience points as he was firmly held by the jock for the first three furlongs while seemingly full of run. Entering the stretch, he still had to wait for clear sailing, but […]
A mare who was making her third start off the layoff showed unexpected early speed and was part of a four horse duel up the backstretch. She appeared to be tiring once headed around the far turn while racing on the rail, but she gamely fought back only to be run down by perfect-tripper Carly […]
Runs with his tail straight out and was outrun for the early lead in the first furlong. The veteran didn’t seem comfortable racing behind a wall of horses and that seemed evident as he was shuffled to the back of the pack entering the turn. He did seem to have run entering the stretch, but […]
Is usually a deep closer, but may have been more forwardly-placed due to today’s sloppy conditions. He held his own, though, as he had to steady slightly while trying to make his rally entering the stretch and that likely cost him all of his momentum. Afterwards, he basically raced evenly down the stretch. Should the […]
