SHAPESHIFTER

I enjoyed watching Frankel run. I had no bet on the race and simply walked away from the desk shortly after the 3:05 to take in the lead-up and the race. It was fantastic to see the horse flip smoothly through the gears and channel all its power along the rail and carry on well past the line. Races like the 3:40 re-ignites the passion that can fuel me through the time spent staring at the stats, filtering through the past to trying to evaluate a likely future. And the sights and sounds of the race quickly dampen all the 'noise' that gambling generates and can muffle our enthusiasm we have for sports. Between Frankel and Black Caviar's runs over the past year, I feel like I have seen some incredible horses in action. I equally enjoyed the 3:05. Yes, Main Sequence was held...
