I agree 100%...this horse just slaughtered me.....the think that stinks is I was prepared for Mohaymen and Destin to not fire....unfortunately, those plans did not include the maiden....OY
I hit the p4 but Ill prob get called out for boardind or something which I could give a sh*t. Only went two and burgered the first leg of p4 with 2 in the last who wengt 1-2.
Chas,
Your red-boarding is only eclipsed by your inability to spell or write in complete sentences.
Who do u like in last Thursday\'s 7th at saratoga. Bet u can hit that pick-4 only going 2 deep in each race....

I had a nice exacta keying him. The horse had a very nice forward moving pattern with excuses and looked to be geared up for a big race today with a slight backward move with trouble.
Given your history of red boarding and being a general douche I don\'t think anyone will be surprised.
Really wish we could \"like\" posts on this site.
While I appreciate your sentiment and actually suspect that Chas is damaged based on his need to do this kind of thing regularly enough time has passed to reflect on the race and how it fits with the 3 y/o crop.
Some opinions:
Mohaymen was precocious but apparently never matured and is nice looking diminutive and not a G1 competitor.
Creator finished last maybe a bad bounce yet despite his Belmont win another BEL winner we may never see win another stakes race.
Destin some may argue he bounced too but I think his derby or Preakness races are a better gauge of his ability.
Governor Malibu an OK performance and I suppose he has a future,
Laoban much improved race probably moved up by an inside bias and pedestrian early pace but not a horse one could handicap as a contender which is different than just betting the horse with the longest price.
I guess it is safe to say we did not see the Travers winner in this race. In summary the only thing memorable about the race is that it was won by a maiden and that c/b a first?
What a screwed up race!
FYI Destin did not run In the Preakness.
Maggie\'s quote on Laoban before the race was \"the best I\'ve ever seen him\" IIRC.

Yeah. Emoticons, too. Actually, just one -- the guy banging his head against the wall.
