A bad DD gets home but the P3 moves on into three runners off of two chalks.

Yup, I just farted and now there's a cloud of chalk dust behind my chair in the dirty filthy disgusting man cave upstairs.

Good thing Stormy did not win. I am walking around pathmark and would made a total fool out of myself, between posting in the adult diaper aisle and rooting for a horse I might have been hauled out of here in a stait jacket.

That was an awesome performance by a horse that clearly loves the strip. Got to watch the race on MSG with TVG coverage. They felt the performance while good wasn't spectacular because of the 23 opening quarter. Fact is Tizway was on the pace and made the race. Gotta disagree with their assessment.

One time I was at the Meadowlands when the sire TIZNOW won a big race out west at a number and kept me from stealing a purse and making a run for it on my way out. I never wanted my young son to see that arrest.

A tick faster than last year's effort by Quality Road. I think it missed the track record again by a tick.

By 3/5ths I think. Track was way fast today.

1:32+ is smoking. A great Slow Bred stakes runner would have been just getting underway off the 14th Street Crosstown local out of Canarsie from the last stop.

That was a huge performance, I really don't care what the fractions for the first quarter were. Tizway went with the only horse that chose to assert himself early (Tackleberry), dusted him and then dusted everyone else that thought about running early. Rodman picked up a few lengths late after the race was already over.

He's a one turn horse at his best at 1 mile. 7f is probably a bit short, 9f is probably too long. Not many choices on the east cose, especially after Belmont in done, so it will be interesting to see where he runs.
