HAHAHA! The Racing Gods were smiling on SYAP tonight. Krispy Apple stole the lead, but she veered way wide going into the stretch. Then Idyllic looked like she was going to catch SYAP, but she BROKE GAIT a few strides from the wire! And that's difficult to do with hopples on! Two inquiries, but it looks like Peelers gets the victory.
It's official now, 20 for 20. They were looking at the 5, Peelers was never in danger as far as the inquiry goes. She actually got headed and rebroke- Krispy Apple went wide going after her, just can't match her when she gets going. They say that this is the hardest field she has faced thus far, as far as females go.Originally Posted by Miss Woodford

Please learn about the game your representing.
The filly is a nice filly.
To win at a mile is so tough.
Peelers was not the best horse
Nor 2nd best
3rd Best
To win at a mile you have to be lucky and exceptional.
Peelers got extremely lucky.
No way she should have won 20
Boys would have destroyed her on the mile.Just too much to ask from a filly.
Zenyatta was a dead closer.
Peelers is dead speed.
Hmm, considering she already has beaten the boys in the Art Rooney, I wouldn't say that it's too much to ask.
never heard that before.....dead speed...lol

Dead Speed means the horse in not like Zenyatta.
It has to be near or by the front.
Winning at a half mile at Yonkers and at Meadowlands is night and day.
The Meadowlands Pace went in 53 for the half.
She would have been dead last after a 53 half.
The race went in 148.2.
She will not and cannot beat the boys at a mile just too much to ask of her.
Because of the sulkys and the pace it is very tough to have a zenyatta or Blind luck .
No way a horse can come from last for the most part. The sulkys add to much distance to make up.
Yonkers Raceway is like running a mile and Meadowlands is like running a mile and a half.
Way Way different racetracks and results.
Not all owners nominate their horses for the Rooney as you need a special type of horse to win on a half mile track.If you get an outside post with speed inside you have no chance for the most part.
I have campaigned million dollar horses.
Sure you have. Names?
are you the same 'horseracing' that had million dollar TB's too? lets hear some names...

On TVG, Michelle Yu kept calling the race the Tarport Handicap (Hcp?) instead of the Tarport Hap (famous pacing mare).
I'm interested too. I haven't campaigned any million dollar horses by no means but have helped breed, foal, raise, break, train and race trotters and pacers for the last 28 years and one thing I know for sure is that it isn't just "the money" who knows what they are doing.
For the record, my parents do own the full brother to Billyjojimbob. Unfortunately, he's all but sterile but that's another story.He's a sweetie though and having won nearly $500,000 himself (not for us although that would have been nice!) they are taking care of him and giving him a good retirement. That's our claim to fame. More than happy to talk standardbreds with anyone by the way!
You should talk with horseracing violabella.Maybe you can learn something cause:
.....who has campaigned million dollar horses!!! (plural)

Lotta Soul won his million at Freehold Raceway in open race and previous to that won an overnight race at the Meadowlands the night my dad passed 1.31.
Ready to Rumble won bout 800k but was perfect for the half mile track.He was 4th in the
famous Little Brown Jug with Riyadh and Presidential Ball.He was stuck on the rail with pace.
When breeding both pacers and trotters staking is integral so you have to know capability and where a horse can fit or not fit.
My future father in law was third in the Meadowlands Pace tonight. The Meadowlands
can eat up and chew up any horse because the horse needs to pace the whole mile at high speed with no breather.Peeler was just not made for the track. And I was taught by the best. The trainer of Turn the Tide, Forest Skipper and Nadia Lobell.Campaigning a million dollar horse does not make you an expert but listening and learning and digesting so much information from the likes of Del Miller qualifies me. Or John Patterson SR.
The promoting in the standardbred industry stinks so if Peelers could do something
real good it would be helpful.But I would not try a mile again against the boys or girls if I want to keep the streak going.
In the USA winning the Hambletonian is 10 notches below the Kentucky Derby.
What the heck are you talking about? Pretty much every standardbred race is a mile, what do you want them to do retire her because I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a standardbred race less than a mile (there are a couple that are over a mile).
Yeah there were all kinds of delays in the early races. At least two races had inquiries (and more than one inquiry in the same race, too), then there was at least a half hour tote delay. It was frustrating because we HAD to leave after the Pace (my bf worked this morning at 5 am and we live 2 hours away), and all the races ended up being an hour behind schedule.

Here is a video of the race from Harnesslink and YouTube.
"...Trainer Jimmy Takter did not expect a walk in the park for See You At Peelers. "I knew these are all the best horses, these are basically all the best fillies in one spot," he said. "I knew it wouldn't be easy and she had to work harder to get the half and she worked it out..."
Story says her next start might be at Yonkers in a few weeks.
For anyone interested, here is Peelers' Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/See-Y...=wall&filter=2
Also I will post photos from last night today or tomorrow. She warmed up when it was still sunny out, so they are quite nice!

99 percent of standardbred races are at a mile.
1/2 mile track is for the most part easier on a horse if they can handle the turns.
A track like the Meadowlands needs a certain type of horse to be able to pace or trot full or for the entire mile.
For people not familiar with standardbreds I compared Yonkers to a mile race and Meadowlands to a 1 and a half race.
What happened to Pretty Katherine? The race caller said she was pulled up and she didn't finish.

She actually just broke, she didn't seem to be pulled up. I wondered why Dave Brower said that during the race, since it was clear she was just galloping. I have photos of her returning after the race, so she probably is fine.
