Look at the stats, a good rider like Bejarano has 3x as many wins as places or shows. Talamo, a known anchor, has 3x as many thirds as wins and places. He just fucking sucks. Badly.

Has a horse on the rail loaded, is suddenly 4 or 5 wide coming for home. Misses a nose. Costs Dirty $1,500

Does ANYBODY think Mike Smith would have lost on the 1 horse?
"You can put her in any spot and she's definitely a good horse," Talamo said. "It was a real nice race. I was able to save some ground on the turn, and she came out and just blasted off. I think Steve could have rode her today."
At least he's honest.
I believe it. Got so fucked in this race. I also had the 6 and 7. The 6 looked super live, then was a gate sct. so I got the 5 who I hated. Then the ride... All bad.
P5 1,4,6/4/3,4/1-6/3,7$0.50
Total: $36.0
Looks like a nice little $625.00 winner!!!!
Joe "The Anchor" lives to screw us another day!!!
The Anchor's lucky he was on the best horse. Nice finish though.
On another note, I know we're getting all amped on American pharaoh, but he had been grenading the horse that won this MSW. Torching him. So another huge positive.
I know a guy who just bought 10% of this horse. Btw, there was a short piece in yesterday's DRF about War Story schooling from the gate.
Then it went from bad to really bad. Race 5 I load up on the D'Amato horse, Sensitively, who looks like a winer on paper. My thoughts were that even the Anchor couldn't screw this one up. Low and behold he is in the hunt until they turn for home and hits a wall and runs DFL. Then falls and puts the Anchor in the hospital..
Not sure we can blame this one on Joe?
Lol. No, feel free. I'll actually like you more.
I agree with you ebcorde,actually of late is there any other type of ride for Mr.Talamo?!? And back at his start he had such a promising future in this Sport .I caught him good on Nashobas Key a few years back.But he really has not brought home much since the Kilroe a couple years ago?
Neither am I Ray',yes I remember that race and he won on him in The Fourstardave also,but this kid kind of backslid. He's talented and I hope he re-connects with his mojo.
I just played him heavy w/p in the 8th
#7 Queen's Ballidier, 7/2
Make-up play CD last race---Peach Snapps W/p heavy!
Del Mar race 7 today. Horrible.
I hope the fucking amtrack hits him in solana beach.
If "The Anchor" screws this up we have another bad ride entry. I am already out of the late P 4 as Gary Stevens held on to defeat Talco in the 7th. I'm using Gloryzapper in an ex bx with 3--4--8.
Actually, one of the better rides Joe has ever had! Gloryzapper got mugged big time coming out of the gate and almost went down. Went to the rail and then scooted back out and started his run. Much the best horse, but for his bad start, he would have won by 7 or 8 lengths?
