Jason Bartlett on Beau Jangles?

[JT]

What is not being said is that the race was NOT a world record performance by any of these and the 1:48:1 time was matched by other horses last night. I do not believe there is a 1:46 type of superstar here but several really top colts in this division and Beau Jangles was an overhyped top notch horse but he is NOT an all-time champion like Niatross.  Beau stays on a 7/8 mile track and never ventures outside of his comfort zone, until the last 2 weeks. He raced well, just not good enough to beat the top 2, and Brandon Blvd was the best horse last night and he will beat these 2 going forward.

Three  points..
First, Agree Brandon Blvd was the best horse and he will absolutely beat both of them moving forward. Switch pp's or trips and BB wins.
Second, any comparisons of BJ and Niatross was always laughable
Third, I believe these 3 will get into the 146 time realms later this year.
Lexington on a nice day, maybe the Pace or even Scioto if the weather cooperates
The times there are ridiculously fast. Most on here think the track is a hair short of a mile.

No shame for Jangles last night, all the past 2 weeks proved is that he isnt one of the all time bests. I dont think a driver change has anything to do with it.  Still was right there as was Brandon and both horses will get their fair share. Meadowlands Pace looks like a great showdown for once where Mamba has a shot to really start to build his legend.

The Burke horses Papi and Melillo put in pretty good efforts there and could be a factor in the Pace.

Then a trainer and driver change

Did it ever occur he looks like a near cat against the same 7 other Ontario breds but isn't a bear cat in with similar talented horses

Agreed!  In the elimination, he got beat with a tough trip, first over and didn't clear while his major foes followed him with cover.  Better trips yield better results even at this level when all of the horses have the same talent.

In the final, he led the pack at the half and got beat again.  The horses that got a better trips beat him again.

Food for thought:  I'm not a big fan of McClure, but right now, it is what it is.  If you change drivers, who will it be?  Many of the good drivers have other commitments!

Brandon Blvd. beat him with the the worst trip in the race. BB was only horse in the Cup that could have gone that trip from the 10 hole and still be second.
