11TH Hour and fireworks

Postby White Hat » Sat Jul 04, 2009 8:48 am

In my opinion, the reason 11th hour did what he did was this: Hollywood Park allows certain groups to stand where the jocks weigh in during the race. For the race in question, there must a been close to a billion people there for that race (dumb idea) making a ruckus (arm waving, program whipping,ect) which I believe caught 11th hours eye. On a side note, if you ever were near Inglewood on 4th of July, it is like Iraq. There were a lot of scared animals in the outdoor paddock so I would be forgiving of any poor performances from last night. The winner of the 5th almost killed herself after a brick of firecrackers went off in the background, extra props to her game race. Good luck this weekend!!

WH it was the lights on the finish line. They came on at the same time as the horse jumped the rail. I was there in person and can verify that. Maybe it was a combination of each.
