Awesome, awesome race for Lawyer Ron!

They are really scrutinizing his time right now...

Apparently he equalled Ghostzapper's Beyer record...and they don't seem to want to believe it...

he started from post 11, stayed with the leaders the whole race, then pulled away at the end to win by several lengths...he finished like he could go another mile with no problems. his acceleration at the end was very impressive. and he's gorgeous. i love this horse.

I think what's throwing them is how well Wanderin Boy ran...he's at like a 120...

But most everywhere I've read, they've timed it against the video and it's coming out right...

Simply one of the most amazing runs of all time...he was supposed to set the world on fire as a three year old...he's just a little tardy to the party...

I finally saw the clip on nyra. Amazing.

When the track announcer announced the final time it was almost as though he couldn't believe it either. The last time I heard something like that was at the end of the Cigar Mile.

Not sure how many are aware, but Bloodhorse.com has replays of weekly stakes races. You can see that one (and others from same week) now from start to finish.
