I wouldn't want to explain to my boss that Ghostzapper passed on my race and is running at Monmouth instead because I gave him too much weight. Tough job"
Beyer,
I agree it's a tough job today.What was John Nerud thinking when they put 139lbs on the incomparable Dr Fager in his last start in the Vosburg Handicap.He only went 120.1( a fifth off the World record for 7f)
JB,
I'm still waiting for you to post the name of the horse who is two seconds faster (with 139lbs) than Fager from 6f to 8f from 1968 until now.Third request.
