I thought Karl looked bad coming into the stretch under pressure. Didn't look like he was trotting well at all.
Best part of the race was waiting for the photo results. Nancy watched on phone. Just as she got in the van they announced TCI. Burkes man hollers. Get out of the van. She didn’t think it was as funny as the rest of us. Lmaof
Not a matter of speed in this case. You could see just by looking at his head and shoulders that something was off in the stretch and he wasn't catching full stride.
That is what a 2 year old trotter looks like when overextended, Karl has never been asked to trot against a horse like TCI. Karl didn't have the speed to hold him off because he didn't have the speed to hold him off.
Gonna call bullshit, Karl has been running in more and more every start. Nancy added a driving bit today to try and prevent him from doing that. Plenty of speed but judging by the video and how he's rigged, he's ouchy right front. Actually a big effort by him to keep trotting. TCI was better today but neither one was super steady down the lane. I'd be surprised if we saw TCI anywhere else besides Breeders Crown. I say doubtful that Karl races again until next year.
WHAT DOES TCI STAND FOR CURIOUS?
lmao , I've trained and driven way to many trotters to listen to that bullshit, he was swimming down the stretch, and could go no faster
