Really? Aren't you and @Thomass aka @bono getting ready to sit down for the afternoon and count whip strikes?
As you have so ably highlighted in this Topic @Thomass quite often gets it wrong.
She's a ripper mate . Put her in.
You have to buy one of the 2 slots first lol. if she can't get the legs going quick enough to keep up with 'Zahara' i'll get Pete McMullen to send GUS over to race in your slot.
Go the Lobster !! bet you're still singing like Fred Schneider here after the great win yesterday 🤣😅🏆
Talk to Me Jimmy (Modernist) took the race to them right from the bell, and ran his rivals off their feet to take home Kentucky Derby points in the Wither Stakes.
Out to set the pace after an even beginning, the New York-bred suddenly opened up on the field through the bend and asked them if they planned to catch him. Entering the lane with a clear advantage, Schoolyardsuperman (Practical Joke) tried to respond, but could not cut into the margin. Talk to Me Jimmy hit the line with air to spare as Grittiness (Curlin) closed for second and Ottinho (Quality Road) claimed third.
Talk to me Jimmy earns 20 points toward the Road to the Kentucky Derby with this victory.
The victor was last seen breaking his maiden in a similar fashion, going gate-to-wire against state-bred maidens at this venue last November to graduate by 5 1/2 lengths.
