31.2  1:02.0    (30.3)   1:31.0    (29.0)   1:58.4    (27.4)

Do you get fined/suspended for a slow quarter/half?  This could cost him a good chunk of his 5%.   tmbz1

Not a good time for Scioto.  The track plays very fast to begin with.  What happens when this horse faces better?

From what I have seen of him he is an OSS level colt all day if he doesn't drive him like he's 5x better than anything he's in with. Easy to get away with a race like last night when everyone else knows that, too.

He still may get fined, though 73cv.2

The price of Starbuck's just went up

Buffalo Raceway   7-15-26

Miss Lady May    5    6/DIS    7/DIS    7/DIS    7/DIS    7/DIS          *0.90     Anthony Macdonald


Left out of this was the break she made at the gate. Again, no fan of his style but 2yos trotters are gonna do 2yo trotting things.

However, could've saved his partners quite a lot by letting someone local drive.

Yeah, I would say there are not many better than him at this early stage as long as he doesn't torch him like he did before this win.

Will always think it’s bad for the sport when guys jam these things down in class.  Horse was 4-5 seconds better than anything else, jammed them up to a half in 102 and came a back half in 55.  Feel like you see it in Ohio more than anywhere else
