No less than 6 horses scratched out. Leaving them with a 2 horse field to go with on a Saturday. Thats sinful. Next time the horsemen want the purses raised, management ought to throw this race in faces. Runners always could scratch out for virtually no valid reason. You couldnt do it with the standardbreds. Once they were in to go, only the track vet could scratch them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1152359978800547762006-07-08T07:59:00.000-04:002006-07-08T07:59:00.000-04:00...oops, i almost forgot...big report on AP Warrio......oops, i almost forgot...big report on AP Warrior today...looks like he's set to run a big one...Lava Man continues to train well also, if anyone cares...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1152359890170990982006-07-08T07:58:00.000-04:002006-07-08T07:58:00.000-04:00...i thought perhaps Out of Gwedda would receive a......i thought perhaps Out of Gwedda would receive a higher Beyer than Soaring By, simply because he ran in a stakes race...the Beyer guys are weird like that, but i guess this time they couldn't justify it based on the huge discrepency...btw, you mentioned that Soaring By received the highest Beyer by a 2yo this year...what did EZ Warrior get for the Hollywood Juvenile?...also, Soaring By only won by 5 lengths, right?...so i guess the second-place finisher got a signifigantly higher figure than Out of Gwedda as well, right?...wasn't Out of Gwedda roughly two seconds (10 lengths) slower?...in any case, i'm glad there's a horse out there to take the spotlight away from EZ Warrior...let's keep him on the down-low... 8^)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-1152338002046287092006-07-08T01:53:00.000-04:002006-07-08T01:53:00.000-04:00Nice pics.Nice pics.Ruben Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430962731987931728noreply@blogger.com
