You didn't see him kicking his leg out in the head on?

^^ :D LOL

no such observation here, he just has been on the list of overrated speedballs for a while now. He is a fan favorite so you have to look to races where he is vulnerable. If everything goes his own way sure he can look great... He actually was grade I or II, a year or two ago.

Months=Years?

Check out a little known race called the Vosburgh from this year.

Not that it's any real surprise.....but this is a terrible opinion.

They might be able weigh in at the scheduled weight.
Somehow I can't help but think the legends race was misplaced, the one Hawley won a month ago. This would have been a perfect race where Stevens, Bailey, Cordero ect...could have all made the weight. :rolleyes:

What did I miss from the 2008 Vosburgh??

Strike reverted back to the 5 1/2-furlong-horse-fetal-position he is prone to , the race was a muddy mess, scrubs like black seventeen kodiak kowboy and first defence... the race looked like about a grade 3 event. nice early speed, but not a real grade I 6furlong race.

There were times in 07 and maybe 06 when Strike looked like he had a shot to put it all together. I think he punks out on turkey day.

I could come on here and talk about when Commentator was in a vulnerable spot and the responses would be from the same mold...

the vulture list is separate from the favorite horsey list :p

have to see the odds.

If enough money is on Strike and Songster, you wouldn't need an opinion. If they are 9/2 you have to pass unless Idiot Proof is a big underlay. EDIT OVERLAY

And now you want me to participate in a contest involving said race? Yeah that makes sense. What happens if you win?
looks like fischer will win his 'contest' by default.
