FYI, it started with Q!

how ridiculous a 29.3 2nd quarter..how is that possible and the Burke decoy used to block the outer tier..this is kind of bullshit shouldnt be allowed.  Mellillo over Brandon Blvd. Next week we will see a more agressive steer by Dunn on Brandon.  Mamba empty again but finishes 5th to qualify and Beau Jangles is out.

Dexter deserves 2 demerits for that drive.  If he read the program carefully he would have seen that the Burke horse was going free-legged for the very first time in a PM race, and especially in a race that figured to go 2-3 seconds faster than he could pace, so tucking in behind that specific horse was both dangerous (he could have gone up in the air and wiped out Dexter) and bad strategy.  Then he compounded that by following the turkey's cover instead of pulling much earlier.  Just a terrible drive that looked like he hadn't even studied the program.

valid point on the non drive by dex
however for clarity it says right in the program the burke horse was second time free legged
burke bought him before last start and tried him free legged

in the breeders crown or any major stake race one entry per trainer to avoid this nonsense
no trainer changes within 30 days of the race

You are 100% correct, he went free-legged at Lexington in a conditioned race; in looking at the program, I just assumed they would have made him qualify for a 1st. time free-legged, and didn't bother to look at where it was from.

If Yannick cared about making the final he stays in- especially off that half with that horse - and sees what he can pick up in the lane.  That wasn’t the goal.
