travel_vic · As much as this is a very good race result from a very impressive anmal, it is a sprint. The ENTIRE history of the breed, from DAY one has been about speed OVER a distance...MODERNISTS forget that · 181 days ago ·

travel_vic · ALSO again and again, it has been shown that weight over a sprint has no near the relevance that it does over classic distances so this arugment is flawed from the outset. · 181 days ago ·

cocoa2 · Kelso, rafi. As to tv, clearly all races have pace, but part of a sprint is going as fast as possible and the first to fold loses. You sprint the whole way round, atleast at Suffolk Downs that is how it is. · 181 days ago ·

travel_vic · As much as this was the impressive one, you have to review the time he blew the doors off Kissin Geroge, THE Fastest horse out of the gate those days. Intermediate times in 1:07 and change... · 181 days ago ·

travel_vic · Even Silky closed over 45 to win at 6.5 furlongs.......Pace is a balance. In sprints it USUALLT favors the front end, but not always. ONCE the gate opens and a pace horse slightly misses the first shot at the filed, the ENITRE composition of the contest can change, and often does. · 181 days ago ·

travel_vic · Sprints at Keeneland and Fair Grounds are NOTHING like Aqueduct and Pimlico. NOTHING..The track dictates the favored style based upon its layout and composition.....That is a well established truism · 181 days ago ·
