Awesome Again
« on: September 30, 2018, 09:48:47 AM »
This was a key prep for the BC Classic so I\'m interested in the board\'s perspective. West Coast given a lot of credit for the effort until I see the final 3f run in 40+ seconds. No one finished. And how do they open the gate when the top horse in the country is having a fit? They could have given him at least a few seconds to settle down, vs. 0.5 second. Maybe he deserves more credit for overcoming the trip versus the slower number.

Hard to second guess the guys who are standing in the stalls.  Was Accelerate going to settle down or act up worse?

I think I\'ve read on this board that a bounce off a top effort often involves a bad start.  I was hoping to take some of the bridgejumper cash yesterday, but no luck.

With weight and ground loss, Accelerate may have gotten a TG yesterday that is not far off his secondary top.

Guess I should have waited a day to go after the bridgejumper money.
