I thought he was very well placed in the Ky Derby and had no excuses (for place or show money) I think he should have finished better than 4th with that ride. Don't believe that Edgar is the answer because Coa was not a problem. I will be betting ToE, just not as heavy.

also hope Court Vision finishes ahead of Pyro. Don't like Pyro.

Does anyone like Golden Spikes or Visionaire in the King Bishop?
Yes.

only one winner this year came from outside of post six in dirt routes at Saratoga. only a 30 race sample though. strange, the 1 post has won 9 of the races.

Tale of Ekati is bet down to 8-1. no where near the 20-1. I knew he wouldn't be 20-1 but was hoping for at least 12-1. Heavy sigh. Guess Court Vision will be my substitute.

Da Tara shouldn't be 12-1 w/the kind of day Garcia is having.

Closers have been winning all day. I think there is too much speed in the race for Da'Tara to cross the finish line in the top 3.

1. Pyro
2. Tale Of Ekati
3. Harlem Rocker

seems fine to me; clearly your KEY was Court Vision; and you played it correctly.

Hank continues to amaze me with every stupid comment he makes. Did he just say that Colonal John winning the Travers might have team Curlin a little worried?? HAHA

what a rough race - CCM gave me a thrill for awhile, then it looked like he got squeezed badly. I thought Mambo had won initially, but then I thought CJ. Wow - the margin was maybe a centimeter. What a race!

yeah, go with the Colonial Downs horse. good move. That's what I mean when I am stupid. Take horse that is at a price and put him with the horses that make sense.

that's funny. Why would Curlin be worried? shouldn't Big Brown be worried ?

While Hank has undoubtably hit us with some stupid salvos, I think you missed his point here ... The suggestion was---upon Colonel John's win---that the horse's connections ran what some have branded as a synthetic horse on dirt and won ...

Fat Hank was implying that Curlin's owner's sportingly try Curlin on synthetics---get it ???
