Title: Northfield Race 10
Post by: Headpole Dave on December 27, 2012, 07:12:00 PM

Been watching races for a long time - I have NEVER seen a move like this one from Northfield in the 10th race tonight. The horse that was trailing from the second tier, driven by Shawn Barker the second, somehow managed to get himself hung out THREE wide around the first turn. It almost defies logic!!!! How do you do that?? Than he managed to drive on and had a two hole that a transport truck could get into and decided to keep gunning for the front end. He ended up being hung the rest of the mile first over...

I'm not writing to complain, I did bet the race and I simply boxed the two best drivers in there and managed to hit the 64 dollar exactor a few times.... I just never saw anyone make that kind of a move in  my life. What did you guys think of that one???

I didn't see this race but there is usually one race a card I wonder the driver was thinking... usually involving horses I have in the pick 4 or pick 5

MAny, many years ago, I saw Dominic Staffrey parked the entire mile off the rail at Northfield.  I have seen some really, really bad drives in my life, but that was about as bad as it can get.

I don't know WTF Barker was thinking about after watching the replay. ??? ???
