I like Anthony, a great guy, but the way he drove Emerald Tom was really bad in my opinion.. he’s a good trainer, but not a good driver, and that’s only my opinion ,of course!

Could have had Chris Page in Timeisonmyside tonight.   Not like Time needs any special handling.

Simple. Mori needs Jeff Gural to arrange an optimum track surface for him. 🙂

@factlaw Good one, and maybe the most tongue in cheek comment of the year.  I propose that poor Mori gets his name off the title of this thread, and it gets changed to “What’s wrong with the overwhelming majority of the horses?  Just watched Dexter Dunn not being able to get Steady Volo to step forward off a perfect trip with mild fractions.  They had his last quarter in 29.2, but he was walking the last 100 yards.  Seems we are seeing this over and over again the last several weeks with very few exceptions.

Paused to send waiting on Hanger One, who has Austin Hanners driving in Race 7 at the Red Mile.   The colt is throwing a fit in the post parade.  So much so that looks like Austin directed the out rider to come along to attempt to calm him down.  Fingers crossed for a safe trip for all.

Well, he exploded behind gate, but came back down trotting quickly.  I don’t blame Austin at all for letting the colt blast out and basically empty the tank.  That colt was out of his mind today.  I don’t know how collectively they can look much worse than what the last few days have brought.

It's been a frustrating run for sure.  Hopefully it all comes together Jug week.
