Presious Passion in the UN

[point given]

Was out in front by 20 L , in 45. 1:09.3 1:34 1:59. 2:10 for 1 3/8 on a very speed favoring turf course and set a new record. Won it last year in 2:13 A most impressive race indeed.

I bet Lauro, I thought I was in the golden spot, 2nd off those fractions. :(

Congrats to PP :ThmbUp:

The fractions, and final time, are probably woefully inaccurate for that race. Still a very fun race to watch.

Yeah it was. except 25nw2l in last went 23 46 1:10.4 too. and my buddy had one in a n1x that went in 1:33.mile. The turf course had the 24' out rails back to 0 today after 2-3 weeks out, so it was virgin turf. I wonder what the runup is for 1 3/8 there.

Amazing race. He was in a full sprint when the gates opened.

The run-up is 64 feet. I still find the time hard to believe after the 19 second posted first 1/4. Time questions aside the winner did run well and held gamely in the lane.

I was watching the race on British channel At The Races. They timed the race by hand afterwards and found out that the race was four seconds slower than the timer showed. I did the same by watching the replay and it's true, the horse went four seconds slower, there was no new track record at all.

Why don't you call Monmouth management and share your observation with them?

I don't think the time is off that much. They probably aren't taking the run up into account.

I just can't believe bettors once again let this guy go off not the favorite. Makes you love this horse even more :)

Yeah, me too Zaf

I still cannot beleive he got the 1st 1/4 in 19+ seconds...that just seems impossible :eek: but man, oh man, you don't see acceleration like that every day...what a crazy race...I just kept saying "what the....what the....what the"...you just don't see races like that very often...I think Precious Passion will be a force to reckon with come BC day!
Great race:jump:

[gm10]

just do a simple test - watch the video on youtube
it's simply wrong

there was a race at Woodbine a few weeks ago which was off by 3 seconds
drf.com actually corrected the time after a few days, so it will be interesting to see what they do with this one

it was a great race to watch, even though I had a small bet on the second, but the winner did not improve English Channel's record by two seconds, I'm afraid

[PaceAdvantage]

I happened to catch this race on TVG, and I'm glad I did...what a race!

Those times have to be off though.... :19 4/5 for the first quarter....

That was the ol' patented "Julio Pezua on a Belmont longshot turfer ride"...only this time, the horse won!! And he wasn't a longshot!! And it wasn't Julio Pezua riding...:lol:

I am sure they will add a few tenths onto the final time but it is still a new record for a very fast horse. Win and you're in, this one is in.

Now 2-2 at MP with 570k in earnings.

congradulations to both Frank Generazio and Mary Hartman for a breathtaking performance once more in the United Nations. we all hope to see them back next year to do it again.

[Stevie Belmont]

He was cruising on his own amazingly easy....just going like a horse out for a gallop and fast...

Speed favoring or not, one of the best efforts by any horse so far this year. He was great, and at age 6, getting better...
Congrat To the PP Team on another big win..

The opening fraction was corrected to :22 1/5. Still, a hell of a performance---a running style like that is just so visually impressive too, very compelling to watch the "catch me if you can" from so far in front.

[Stevie Belmont]

That sounds more like it...and that is still fast

Quarter horses go in 19 4/5

His previous race at 1 1/8 3 weeks ago in the Monmouth stakes was impressive as well, if you can see a replay. He was passed in the stretch by a length and battled back to get up at the wire . one very game horse with a will to win.:ThmbUp: Sooner or later someone is going to put a rabbit in . Luro was too slow to go.

[OFFandRUNNING10]

awesome race...i had to stand up to watch it... i couldnt believe how far he pulled out in front. i thought for sure the field would catch up down the stretch but he really held strong.

i played brass hat for a nice show bet which payed off very nicely at $8.20

i was surprised to see the way the odds played out in this race. The top 3 horses were all at generous odds in my opinion.

Must of been a triped beam.
