  • ismalli · None at HRN seem bothered Overanalyze - Has never won two consecutive starts.Arkansas Derby, the 1:51 4/5 seconds that Overanalyze ran that 1 1/8-mile in the slowest winning time since 1978, and Orb, who some consider the probable second choice behind Verrazano, ran the third-slowest Florida Derby in the last 20 years. · 37 days ago ·

  • geldedridgling · Unless a horse is in first at all calls final race time is very overrated. In this case, Overanalyze can't control how weak or strong the pace horses are, and is content to site behind a soft pace until time to draw off and, as Bejarano said, save some for the next race. · 37 days ago ·

If you could create a dream foal from any two race horses in the past 20 years - Which pairing would you choose and why ? I am often made fun of - for telling friends that I would love a Dixie Union Top / WIth a Street Sense Filly foal bottom (Mare could be raced or not) Cross. I WOuld be a happy man if I were to ever get my hands on one, if the horse succeeded on the track or not.

It is completely possible to be emotionally connected a race horse, with out being delusional in reguards to their talent. I worked with this horse while he was still active, and while I always believed he was a strong runner, I would never declare him a winner untill he hit the finish line. Obviously I am very tied to the horse, but I would not argue he was the best of his time. (I was not the jockey -obviously- or anything , just a care taker )
