  • ruffian75 · When I was actually watching the race live, I thought there was interference. But,when I saw the replay, Pool Play cut in on Giant Oak's path, for he was ahead of him, but, it looked as though Gomez recognized immediately, and veered out. It looked as though it broke Giant Oak's run, but he might not have caught Pool Play anyway. Probably cost him 2nd or 3rd. · 234 days ago ·

  • JohnBravo · Duke Of Mischief gets an off track again but his odds are not as sweet as his last when I had him in Charlestown. I will use him in exotics with two long shots in El Caballo and Wordly. Will use them to twin as well. · 235 days ago ·
