Title: Who’s the fastest 2yr old so far?
Post by: Here they come on August 06, 2024, 08:43:58 PM: Think “Beach Rules” (filly) went 50.4 at Philly in first start.

Post by: Harness racer on August 06, 2024, 09:43:54 PM: Second thread you’ve started on this filly. You own a piece or work for the trainer or something? Odd you needed to start a second topic on information easily found on usta.

Easy to find on your own from now on…

Won but was chased, definitely not her best today.

Agree, before today she has looked extraordinary, but today she looked very ordinary versus a pretty weak group.

Post by: Harness racer on August 07, 2024, 03:44:12 PM: Sickness is a possibility, or no prerace thinking she didn’t need it? I still think she looked ok even if it wasn’t her A-game. 152 flat lq in 26 isn't exactly loafing either. tmbz1

There is no way that last 1/4 is correct.

Post by: Harness Stats on August 07, 2024, 06:33:42 PM: I agree ... Too many finished in 25 flat. It doesn't seem right. I watched the first five races or so and it looked to me like the track was heavy with a lot of dirt being kicked up down the stretch. To be honest I don't know what to make of it other than she was in total control by open lengths as usual, but didn't finish like the rest of her races while under some urging.

That many 2yos pacing 25 second last quarters? Timer is off or last quarter isn’t quite a 1/4.

Post by: Harness Stats on August 07, 2024, 07:57:37 PM: I think the problem was the 3/4 time of 30.2 It had to be at least a second faster. If it was that slow the other horses would have made up ground then not late.
