Title: 80
Post by: TGJB on August 26, 2009, 02:53:18 PM
Congratulations to Marc Ferrell for the win of Fiddler\'s Afleet in the 150k Albany at Saratoga. FA is the 80th (!) horse bought on recommendation of Thoro-Graph that has gone on to win a stake for our clients.

And don\'t ask me what Dominguez was thinking with 22 4/5, 46 flat, I have no idea. That\'s the fastest half I remember seeing going two turns at Saratga, and I\'ve been watching races there quite a while.

That race was just a super effort. He just wouldn\'t lose. Those fractions (and final time for that matter) may be as fast as the Travers! I was very impressed.

If anyone remembers a faster half going two turns at saratoga I would like to hear about it-- so yes, the fractions will be faster than the Travers. And since those horses will be running an extra furlong, the final time will be as well.

Yes, my mistake. I meant the T-G sheet figure.
