Championship Bout -- Confederate vs. It's My Show

[TimTimTimbo]

Laceration on his knee with Brett called a little hiccup

What a horse

Scotty goes to the lead after Timmy clears first quarter

Wood have been a different race

Show was a no show.
Blaming the strategy  not the horse

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? 

[Low Groove]

And that's that!

Pelling, the master of prepping a great horse for big events. On to the BC, where's IMS, hope he recovers. Still a great colt just not the best today.

And that's that!

No way It's my Show sniffs the lead Luc

He races better on the lead

Bad drive.  Or bad. Strategy

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.

I was there too. Thought at the 1/2 oh shit Tim what are you doing. Confederate don’t need any help just stay out of trouble

Same here. TT had the hole to take and he just drove by it. Then when Miller couldn't hold his horse and had to come back out -- what a brutal trip Confederate overcame.

[Fuguzzi]

To be totally honest I stopped breathing the instant Dave pulled back out and didn't start breathing again until about 200 yards from the wire.
Loved to have been there with you guys

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.
