You can change a horses running style alot quicker than that. There wasn't a big amount of speed in the race so I gather they were trying to steal it. Can't be sure as I didnt see the race. Just my opinion of what they maybe tried to do.

The problem with that race was really nobody had any front speed. The winner did have the best adjusted 2nd call pace-but I didn't bet him-not at 5-2 and never on grass.

please look @ the pps

Only11-don't beat yourself up over your play. Your choice was handed a virtual gift and still couldn't prosper with it. I don't think he would have fared any better running his usual style with those fractions.

[GameTheory]

With my money down??WTF thats stealingIf you think they're all gonna try to win every time then you should find a new game. Seriously though, it looks like they were trying to win, it just didn't work. I haven't looked at the PPs yet -- it this a trainer that wins races?

trainer has good stock..

I looked at the PP's. Did you see the fractions he set for the 1 1/16th race? What speed was there? They went out fron and walked. They couldn't go any slower. Name one horse in there that had showed any real speed in a route race. They tried to steal a paceless race.

Tzipi in you opinion was he instructed by his trainer or Alvarado made the decision on his own?-

My guess and it's only my guess is they both saw the the PP's and said well no one will be out front with any good speed so let's get out front, slow it down and try and steal it.

Wouldnt the horse at least showed sped in his workouts?

I agree with that. The Calabrese operation is fairly aggressive-if they sensed the lead could be had, they're going to go for it.

His workouts are for his style. They had no idea when working out that come his next race there would be no speed in the race. Horses are versatile animals.

Like last week I bet on a horse who I always bet on because I just like him. Well he's a speed horse and the race was packed with speed, so I just put $2 on him because I always bet him. Thought he had no chance and would burn his speed out with all the others and a closer would surely win. Well the jock took him back and closed on the field at a good price. I only had $2 on him. Figures :D

When the#:6: JUMPIN JACK CAT an E6 (best early and mid pace) was scratched it appears the connections of the # :3: decided to take advantage of a paceless race.

Sinse Arlington opened a large number of races both polytrack and turf have been won by horses on or right at the lead. Check the ridiculously slow fractions in both polytrack and turf events. Very few horses coming from off the pace.

[illinoisbred]

Besides the slow-paced 9th,the 6th today had a 50 2/5 1/2 mile and 1:15.0 6 fur. split in a 1 turn mile race. That is so slow it almost can't be called running.
