Daaher
 

I'll second that. I singled him on my Pick 4 ticket not concerned about the distance vs that field. After today I am thinking he's a one turn miler.

That's a fair point Before automatically assuming it was just an off day, consider that it might not have been

However, since this horse has been fitted with blinkers he has shown a high cruising speed with an ability to finish off races. If those previous 3 races were true including the 2 turn effort at the Spa, it would be reasonable to suggest he shouldn't have faded like a cheap pair of jeans like he did today. It doesn't make sense. The fractions were honest but not suicidal as evidenced by Kiss The Kid hanging on for a piece. I think something wasn't right with him today, it's a gut call horseplayers have to make at times. Drawing a line through a performance.

This really takes the cake. I'm not saying he's a true 1 1/8th horse but if you think today's performance is a fair indication of Daaher's ability you are flat out wrong. Horses that have run as well as he has in the past don't pack it in the way he did unless there was a problem.

Wow, you calling me wrong. I didn't expect that at all. We'll see.

For the record, I DO think there was a problem. I think there were two of them actually.

PACE and ANOTHER TURN.

Just add this to the list.

Luckily for you, I know you just post the opposite of what you know to be true just to initiate conversation.

Well played.

All he needs now is for Sumitas to back him up.

You have a good night.

Now that was a good comeback.

Why are you ignoring his last 3 races, if you saw them no one can say the pace would have affected him to the point of being beaten 20 lengths or so by Spring At Last and more so being outpaced or outstayed by Kiss The kid. Anyway I hope there are many that share this opinion, the better the odds on Daaher the next time he races.

I wouldn't be overly optimistic about him racing any time soon.

Will be interesting to see how some of these horses are placed in the future. I would like to see Daaher go and take the Mile over in Dubai. I think he has the style for it. Spring at Last doesn't belong in the DWC... maybe we will get a rematch at a mile ?

Wasn't meant to be. But if you want a good comeback, let's try this:

Luckily for you, I know you just post the opposite of what I say just because you don't want to agree with me for fear that it would make you have to acknowledge that other people could be right sometimes.

Probably right there, it wouldn't be much a surprise.

To be honest I cant remember if I have ever hit Super Frolic in a race. I think I was cracking a joke in that post about angels and all that stuff. I am pretty sure that any Smokey Stover comments WERE just busting DrugS balls because he was on that horse before anyone else, and before SS showed how good he was.....DrugS also passed on betting him at like 8-1 last year on Sunshine Millions day. Thats what I was probably getting at.

I did bet BH today. Luckily I was alive in the late pick 4 and if he had won, was "all" into the last. THe horses in the 1st 2 legs were pretty legit. So I didnt need to bet much at all (made a few ex and tri bets). Considering BH was gonna be my big bet for the day, I was happy I came out profitable today. The last 2 at AQU saved my day.

Walked by Frank's Energy Beach a few times.....gotta say one thing about the new GP....if you like to drink it's a great place...you can't walk 20 feet without some sort of bar popping up.

That's a very convenient response but frankly flat out unfair and an odd cheap shot from you. While obviously I am wrong a fair share of the time, overall the advice I give here is pretty strong, and over time my opinions have proven pretty strong. I take the opposite view of people because I believe they are wrong....and they usually are when I challenge them.

As regards today's races I told people that Fairbanks and Einstein had no chance and I literally begged a poster not to bet heavily favored Wincat in the Swale. I also endorsed the winner of the Whirlaway. Please, regale us with your plethora of pre-race opinions that have come to fruition recently.

I take a stand. And I'll take my chances with my overall record. In fact, I do in a pretty big way on a daily basis.

Oh Good Christ...

Luckily for him?

For the people like myself who dont get to watch races
and live handicapping all the time, I appreciate the differing
opinions that come with these posts. But now we
enter the realm of handicapping the handicappers intentions...

jeez...

Well congrats if you did bet it. A nice way to end the card.

I don't think you see Luzzi on this horse again. Obviously the horse didn't run its best effort but Luzzi doing Elliot just doesn't get it done in 'big' races.

For the record, when Zanjero wins a Grade I, I fully expect BTW will admit he was wrong about the horse.
