I've always been in his corner, but I think Game On Dude is up against it today: Clubhouse Ride Fury Kapcori Game On Dude Boxed, of course, in case the Dude proves me wrong  |

Yeah, I had a feeling about Majestic Harbor, other than the trifecta I only played him to place, which didn't pay much

You have to hand it to Majestic Harbor - he looked like he could go around again. The rest of the field looked like they were struggling to finish. The wire came up just in time for Clubhouse Ride.
So the question is: Did that early speed duel with Fury Kapcori takes its toll? Or is Game On Dude just a 7-year-old horse that could be losing a step?

2 bad beats for me today. I've been following this Hard Spun filly named Dream Spinner. She was in the Iowa Oaks today. Went off at 17-1....was winning. Track turned up slop, and she was hauling butt. But got caught at the wire by a Mott horse. Man, I was up out of my seat, she was loooking like she would win. I like the trainer, though nobodyh knows much about him, Raidt. anyway, that was gonna be my big haul today because nobody follows this horse. I play PM because a lot of the horse go there after Oaklawn. Which most oaklawn people don't know, but the thing is, once you learn the Oaklawn meet, and the horses and jocks, you can just carry your knowledge over to PM and I've been doing really really good there. Gonna try again next year, this is my first year playing PM. Yeah, Majestic Harbor looked good, his works were stellar |

Beau, GOD is 7 after all, I think with the kind of high level campaigns he's had, you can't expect him to run top G1 level forever.

I hate to say it, but I agree with you Winter. Maybe it's time to look for softer spots for him. It's been great watching him through the years though, hasn't it?
