Call it a stiff if you want. Training mile against older. If gets lucky and slips thru, so be it.Otherwise, didn't gut or hurt the horse. Moving on the The Golds.
odd betting raceno bridge jumpers on chantilly to showhmmm??
she was facing older mares--the bridgejumpers aren't dumbonly $4600 to show
I never bet the race but I’m unsure as to how Chantilly could be bet off the board in the open mares. She’s a great filly, who overpowers inferior competition. She’s not a leaver, I figured James would sit far back, follow a helmet & fly in the stretch & if they went enough up front, might get yup very late.James had nowhere to go, unsure why he didn’t just swing her wide in the stretch and see what she had. He clearly didn’t want to come first up in here, so if that was the plan, he’s better off to take her back to last off the wings. Hindsight is 20/20 but a terrible look for sure.
James Macdonald should be given a 90 day suspension for the lack of effort drive on Chantilly. And he should have both of his arms broken for the drive in race 10.
This thread is vintage Horseplop. It was a bad drive nothing more. Every driver make mistakes. Watching the degenerate gamblers who could not break 2 minutes if they were driving her cry has great entertainment value.
