costas is a total waste of skin.
on another note, you probably saw the race. do you have any comment about the way Chrome’s jockey had him in perfect position on the inside and swung him off the rail completely to the outside ?
IMO that was a bad tactical mistake. Chrome looked real comfortable where he was and after the jockey moved him, he just wasn’t running the same he was up until then.
the horse just didn’t seem to like where he got moved to.
I can’t say. I was pulling for Cali Chrome like everyone else, and yes it looked off.
There is a lot of planning and strategy that goes into a season much less a big race. I thought he looked off about a third in. Was expecting a burst at the end but that’s a really long track.
But what an awesome horse.
Hopefully will see his sister out there soon.
As screwed up as America is right now, America needs a Seabiscit
It’s always a bad idea to leave your horse on the rail. You’re just asking to get boxed in. When I saw him go to the rail, I knew he was in trouble. He’s never come from the rail in his other races. He just had nothing left. Jock wen t to the whip and got...no response.
Wonder if he got “paid” anything for that tactical mistake. That was the conversation at my house. Lots of money bet on CC. Follow the $, always.
