Title: Flagstaff race: re Mind Control
Post by: belmont3 on May 02, 2021, 07:15:08 AM
Be interesting to see the final TG\'s for this race.

Somehow, MC managed to move from the #2 hole and a nice stalking spot to be the widest of the wide.

No betting interest in the race. (played more Oaklawn than CD based on how tough the card was and also my historical propensity for losing on the 1st Saturday in May  :) )

I do find the overhead views on the turns visually demonstrate how much ground loss actually take place.
My wife Bobbi Ann (who may in the Saratoga
Backyard have met) asked why Essential Quality ran so far out there? (referring to his wide trip around the turn).
I told her based on the length or 2), EQ probably ran the fastest race but was probably allergic to Roses.

Curious if there is a replay venue that provides overhead replays?

Absolutely brutal that the favorite could only get a fourth place check when it looks like he ran a new top based on the Beyer. 102 Beyer.

Trakus has EQ +68 feet vs Medina.
