post parades...

Pimlico please explain to me exactly what i'm supposed to be looking at here...



the funny thing is, wagon limit was gray, heck i don't know if you are talking about the horse or the pony! puts a big freaking damper on my day, i don't bet on a horse i can' tsee and i can't see anything worth a damn here.

"Gals on the rail."

I suggest you "google" Joe Takach's website if you want to know what to look for in Post Parades.
Otherwise, you should be looking at the pretty girls along the rail on sunny days.
(By the way, in the above picture, the grey saddle pony looks just as alert as the one the jockey is on.)

Bad shot of the post parade. They should always show a side view. Wagon Limit retired a ways back. Good horse though.

The horse being shown is #3 Rehoboth. Wagon Limit is being listed as the sire. The dam is also listed. The horse's name is listed to the left on the same line as the jockey and owners/trainer. They are not trying to say that Wagon Limit is running.

I don't think any of the responses are in line with the original post. He is well aware that Wagon Limit was not running today, and was just pointing out that the camera angles for the post parades at Pimlico are so bad that you cannot see anything that would help you pick a horse.

It's not at all clear that the OP knew WL was not running. He said WL was grey and noticed that the pony alongside is grey. It's not written very clearly.

Right. I think we knew that.
So you add a post saying none of the responses are in line with the original post. You point out that you cannot see anything that would help you pick a horse. But that is what the original poster was saying, so what are you adding here?? What would you have expected the responses to be?? The sun is shining??

Wagon Limit is a chestnut, not a gray.
