If only Albarado ran that horse through the wire instead of looking to his left (check the photo) to see who won.Colins Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949661490223464920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-82227935122131331062008-08-24T00:42:00.000-04:002008-08-24T00:42:00.000-04:00Go-Go proved once again he is THE BEST rider in th...Go-Go proved once again he is THE BEST rider in the world. He hardly ever loses a photo. <BR/><BR/>As for Albarado, it would be great to see how many win photos he loses. Really, over the years it seems as if he loses 80% or more of the photos for win he is in.<BR/><BR/>As for the race coverage on tv, ESPN's performance was abysmal. Can they leave Hank Goldberg in Florida and let Bailey do the real handicapping? But Bailey and Moss once again showed which horse they liked as they entered the gate, not earlier on.<BR/><BR/>Shouldn't ESPN and/or NYRA's on-air staff provide information that people may need. For example, why was Edgar Prado not on Desert Key? Did Jimmy Jerkens have him removed for losing the previous stakes race?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-13330827845883261282008-08-23T23:14:00.000-04:002008-08-23T23:14:00.000-04:00Alan,Tough beat.

How about some warm milk with that oreo. Hey, have you ever heard of exacta box, trifecta box. Maybe one day you will learn to protect a win bet by boxing 3 horses or boxing 2 horses. A race as difficult as the Travers an exacta and tri box were in order. This is why you keep losing and losing. But, sure everyone catches a winner every once and awhile eh.....sorry but gotta tell it like it is. Be a man and LEARN from your constant mistakes in the betting of horses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
