TT leaves finds a hole -- who wouldn't want to sit behind Confederate...  Where that hole is could be the deciding factor -- too close he's forced to come first over.  Not one to miss.

Lol. I just wish we had mid 80’s instead of 60. Probably won’t be a super fast mile but should be a good race. It is a snake they go with division’s instead of going with top 10. At least we got those 2 in same race and the Karl/TCI matchup tomorrow

This may be an adventure for Confederate.  Unlike the other division there are no real speed horses here except IMS, no one to give him LIVE cover, plenty to give him weak cover.  It might be time for a float and blast that downhill 2nd quarter straightaway to the lead. 

After this race the discussion of GOAT may resurface if he overcomes everything in style.

Easy there my man Fugs, if this race is as epic as it looks like it will be theres a chance someone else could win. I really don’t care who wins as long as we get a classic battle we can ponder over for years. After all that’s what it’s all about. Maybe a Life Sign or Wiggleit jug type memory!

Somebody else win? That would pay boxcars.  This division kind of sucks other than the big two.  The exacta box will probably lose money no matter who wins after takeout.

I have 4 photos on my man dresser. My daughter, my older son and my younger son and Life Sign. In my living room is a picture of my all time favorite racehorse and the horse, who at the time replaced Whata Baron as the greatest FFA I had ever seen, Red Bow Tie.


Great call on Life Sign Jug as an all time harness racing memory/moment.

Only thing i will say pre race at this juncture, is I would be absolutely floored if a 3rd party horse came along and beat both of the BIG 2, unless Timmy and Scotty do something absolutely crazy, either separately or together. Can't see that happening in this universe.

This will, of course, be Confederate's greatest test so far. 73cv.2

Is there really much talent in this field but the top 2

I see Confederate able to float pretty well and get midpack spot. Tetrick may have to activate him earlier than usual but Its My Show has shown a propensity to tire late. Its a wicked turn of speed and have we even seen Confederates best yet? First over or not he goes on by

Cog in the wheel for both, 1- I think is Blue Hunt trying to make a statement which I don’t believe he’s capable. 2 there’s a lot of poor horses in between IMS & Confed so they could force one or both of them to be over used before TT or SZ want to

Rock hard ten - Croghan/Morril Jr. - shipped out to Northfield and ctushed in the battle of lake erie at a huge price. That horse was a ferocious closer at the Big M. Caught him at double digits from the 10 hole. Last, 5th over top of the stretch. Morrill jr. moved in and out twice like bumper cars and got up on the wire. Super exciting rally.

BJ's Whirlwind - Slugger McIntosh

To me, it doesn't matter how the race plays out. Confederate's nose will be the first to touch the wire. But would have like to seen Cannibal in the mix.

I think Confederate will float and try to find a spot mid pack. He gets a little lazy on the lead and tetrick will want his best against it’s my show. I’m looking for Timmy to wait and then at the 5/8s give him clear race track and blast. No one has shown they can go with him or withstand him yet. If he gets a reasonable trip I don’t think it’s my show will be able to hold him off. And nothing against it’s my show but tetrick lost the North America cup, not confederate.

Well, then we can key Confederate over the rest of the field, even at 2-5 and we would still get a decent triple.

Agreed, being on the lead is not his "best game" and "lazy" is a word that could describe him there ( notice how Timmy pulled the plugs last start for the first time in months after brushing to the lead ), but still on the engine clear of competition he paced 53.3/25.2 coming home. ;D

those half mile times are pretty slow yet none of the horses on the lead are holding up today.

but will Confederate get any cover. Might have to do it himself, first over isnt exactly winning today either.

Last time out, Timmy said he didn't go into the race with a plan. That he got him on the gate, looked over at the #1 and decided to push off, etc, etc. This week he almost has to have a plan. He must be somewhat aggressive early regardless of the wind and track condition, but it is definitely a "tiring" surface today overall.

From that analysis, I can not believe you own horses or have any connection to the game.

First of all, Timmy cleared damn near the half. Dave seesawing just to gain control then let his arms out. HOW THE FUCK WAS SCOTTY EVER SEEING THE LEAD TODAY AT ANY POINT with today's version of IMS?

I was standing with a bunch of other horsemen in the grandstand -- overcast, cold, and windy -- at the top of the lane after a trip like that the consensus was there's no way this horse (Confederate) hangs on for the win. Jaws drop after the race. Fug and I have been saying for the past three plus weeks this is one of the best three-year-old pacers ever.

Best thing to happen was Dave to pull. Keep confederate interested. No other horse survived that kind of trip today. It was fucking cold with the wind blowing straight in their face on the back side. With it pushing the others home in the stretch

1.) Agree that Confederate is an "inner circle" great 3 year old of the last 50 years (hard to compare generations).  This is a fairly deep crop with 4 or 5 very solid horses. 

2.) IMS clearly was "off" today, as he couldn't fire.  (perhaps he will show something when he is scoped.)  Hopefully they will find what it is and have him set up for the BC. 

3.) Wonder if Moore will bring Stockade down for the BC?? Detention barn (no yogurt powder or Viobin as a snack?)  In any event, if he does, Stockade, Confederate, IMS, Seven Colors, Combustion, Cannibal should make for some thunder at Hoosier.
