Agree 💯

Omaha beach

Ruffianlover | 5/21/2019 5:46 AM | Re: Weekend Takeaways: Plenty left to settle after Triple Crown

Omaha beach was every right deservedly so a superstar before his injury

Ruffianlover | 5/21/2019 5:46 AM | Re: Weekend Takeaways: Plenty left to settle after Triple Crown

I hope they get dusted

Ruffianlover | 5/21/2019 5:44 AM | Re: Weekend Takeaways: Plenty left to settle after Triple Crown

The cream of this crop is Omaha beach. And very well could also be maximum security

How quick people seem to forget things. How can you saw there’s no star power? How can you forget about Omaha beach? He was looking like the real deal before his injury. If he comes back the same or better the rest of this crop better watch out

Get away with dangerous riding- trying to run war of will into a path that was not there. He interfere with maximum security causing contact which then spooked the horse into swerving wide. It’s EXACTLY why he never claimed a fowl- because he knew exactly what he did and the part he had to play in it.

The only thing dangerous was MS bolting and causing an absolute catastrophe. War of Will did nothing wrong.

You think this is funny? Are you kidding me? Had WOW went down, racing is done forever. He's the hero of this Triple Crown not BS, I mean MS. Pathetic.

Had Everfast been a couple of paths inside and lost 2nd by a nose to Owendale, then he could have claimed foul, that War Of Will cost him a better placing. And had Owendale been right alongside Everfast by a nose and got bumped wide, he could have also claimed foul; losing a better placing. And actually, both those riders would have been endangered by a reckless ride by Gafflione. A 15 day vacation for sure. Had it happen that way. Need I continue?... The only pathetic BS here is the hypocrisy.

So is any WHAT IF... take. You said the stewards got the 2014 BC wrong and that Bayern should have been dq'd. Why is this different? Because you agreed?

what are you talking about? you need to hang around and watch horse racing for another 10 yrs. I get the feeling you're a novice and new to the game

WOW had a clear path. MS was on the rail, leaving WOW plenty of room between him and LRT. It was MS that came over into WOWs lane. This image is before the incident. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b8994e04169da8620858ede36d41cdd4e9b607841503cbb448fd6b450ace3465.jpg

Exactly. Gaffalione basically got away with murder in the Derby. The only one who deserved punishment for the debacle in the Derby is him. Yet here we are...

SnidgetAsphodel | 5/19/2019 2:37 PM | Re: War Of Will - Horse

No jockeys thread the needle all the time pushing along side another to get room. If you think that he caused MS to bearout 15 ft. because he bumped him from behind i think your wrong. I've been playing horse for over 40 yrs. and Tyler did nothing more then make his path while Saez lets his horse come across 3 or 4 paths

Jim | 5/19/2019 6:27 PM | Re: War Of Will - Horse

He ‘didn’t get a fair shot’ because your idiot rider was trying to force his way into a path that wasn’t there and ran up on maximum security causing interference that spooked him to swerve. You didn’t ‘deserve’ Anything by the placing you got in the derby. That’s exactly why gaffliolione didn’t say jack squat because he knew exactly what he did
