Win Win Win
 

He # was almost off the screen on trackus after the first few furlongs he was so far behind-thought he was pulled up or hurt. That was freaking incredible

There's a post of mine from last year where I was banging the drums on this horse being better than he looked on paper. IMO, he ran well going long in both the Bluegrass and Preakness losing ground against the grain. Sometimes it takes awhile for a horse to get the opportunity to prove it. This race has sort of solidified the view that he's better as a closing sprinter. He probably is, but he's better than he looks going long too.

Matt Carothers was all over this horse yesterday so I put a couple of bucks on him.. When I saw how far behind he was I cursed him. Unreal finish.

I agree. I always liked him and thought he was underrated. Seven furlongs to a mile should be right up his alley

I was speechless at the start. Couldn't believe how wrong I was-figured he wasn't handling the track. Then on the turn I see him coming and JJ said the hell w/saving ground and went 7-8 wide that when I knew he had a chance

amazing race

The Outstanding Win Win Win
 

I had to watch it again again again
True Timber ran a banger as well:ThmbUp:

Nothing against Imbriale, but that race is why Trevor Denman was so good. He'd have identified him moving on the turn. It's a risk calling horses on the come, but when it pays off, wow.

This is ridiculous. First of all, when was the last time Trevor even called a race in a driving rainstorm? When was the last time he did it in an 11 horse field? It's not even really clear that horse was making a big move on the turn.

Find a better race to take a "nothing against Imbriale" shot.

You know, Andy, I was going to make a comment about how good it is to see you are still posting careful, unemotional defenses of co-workers that no one was even criticizing that harshly, but re-reading my post I see it was ungenerous to Imbriale. He's really good and I like his work. In this instance he picked up WWW a little late in that race, but I did not mean to diminish him by comparison to Denman, who after his time at Laurel and Pimlico did in fact work in much better weather conditions than NYRA race callers often have to.

Two calls for the entire race!

It wasn’t his best effort, I am sure you will agree.

retired w/a tendon injury-that sucks. I always thought he was top class but was running at the wrong distances/surface
