Good call. I was way off today.

Borel picks up mount

Bo-rel
 

his odds just got cut in half, glad I'm already down :)

Pretty placeless Derby on paper! Does that bother you at all?

Join the Revolution....:rolleyes:

Do they make them large enough to fit over cheesy cornrows?

:D

on the turn when they're all gasping he'll be rolling on by. with 20 in there it will go no matter what.

Do you really think he took the pace of the race into consideration when he declared this horse the Derby winner when the horse was still two years old?

its called a Revolutionary discovery
 

may 4th you'll be eating your words hot shot. Maybe I should analyze things for you, so that you might have a clearer vision of what Quiet Chris and I saw that told us this was the Derby winner.

you would have to ask, and say please.

At the very least this should be an entertaining thread Sunday after the Derby

I don't think anyone who walks away with $44,226.55 in one afternoon needs help analyzing things.

To be fair, you proclaimed him the Derby winner after he was one of, if not the most talked about maiden coming out of the Saratoga meet based on his debut.

After he was beaten in his 2nd start you abandoned ship.

You're also the same guy who said Fire On Ice was built well and was sound and he made 1 total start after his debut.

But Quiet Chris is a good buddy for you to have. Water usually seeks its own level.

I laughed.

Fire and Ice ran horribly not once but twice after holding off Revolutionary. I'm pretty sure they got the money that day. Revolutionary probably ruined him by making him run too fast.

"One of, if not most talked about maiden races "

This must have been why he opened at 150-1. We were ready and he was 75-1 in a flash. This hoss has a will to win. did you see him in the Withers between hosses late ? he looked like Summer Squall bullying his way through traffic at Saratoga as a 2 year old. His mare won the Alabama, has a great turn of speed, is very athletic, and looks the part. = Derby/Preakness/Belmont

Try and follow a long. Fire on Ice was a Kimmel 2 year by Unbridled's Song who ran a whole in the wind in his debut. You were high and him and could tell he was built well. Built so well he has made a total of 2 starts in 4 years.

After Little Distorted whipped up on Revolutionary you and your buddy abandoned ship. Only to return after the Withers.

Revolutionary was easily the 2nd biggest hyped maiden to come out of the Pletcher barn at Saratoga based on his debut.

Fire On Ice was Travers day 2012. He beat a Zito Bernardini and a well bet Pletcher/Repole entry. I believe one of the Repoles was Our Entourage who is with Jacobson now.

you're forgetting the several thousands he won before the pick 5.

he would have had what i consider an awesome afternoon without it.

definitely needs help.

Who needs money when you can pound your chest boasting about a horse on a message board.

:tro:


bah, who needs money when you can get braids.


'it's easy to be brave behind a castle wall'~welsh proverb.

Typo, you knew I was talking about Little Distorted. ELO song Fire and Ice was on in the background (theme from CBS sports spectacular in 70's). so I typed the wrong hoss in.

You are right on Fire and Ice though. Looked like the goods, wasn't. Dead wrong on that hoss. What ever happened to that hoss anyway ?

Not sure who my buddy is, but I never jumped ship. He's gonna win. His biggest obstacle is that I love him so much.

Interesting that you keep knocking me, but not the hoss. That's a good sign.

Not many welsh thinkers I guess. alot of poor illiterate farmers though.

for $30 a lid, I hope so.

:tro:

He's one of like 10 who can win. I have no major knocks on him other than it will be a miracle for him to win carrying all that mush weight.

I'm afraid this is a weight that Normandy Invasion is soon to be toting as well. WAY too much chatter about him.

My thoughts exactly. I was hoping he'd be in the 20-1+ range on 5/4, but that looks unlikely.

Normandy will be under 8-1.

he will be hot and dirty at 15-1. No chance

Bwahahahaha!

we can blame the track!!! Onward to the Preakness or Belmont

:p

Anyone that paid even an INKLING of attention today should've clearly seen it was Borel's inability to follow railbird advice that led to the 3rd place finish. :rolleyes:

Really?
He picked a horse to win the Derby and the colt runs a pretty nice 3rd.
Not like he stunk up the place, ala Gemologist, whom some dope touted to an even higher degree on another board last year.

thank you. he ran hard, got beat fair and square. craziest thing is that on the NBC feed I was watching, I thought he was gonna win. Couldn't believe he didn't get up. When I watched the pan shot, it was a different story.
Am really glad for Mr Phipps and Shugga Dugga though. They've given so much over the years.

Done for the year

no run, no excuses. I stopped him cold. What a disappointment.

I wonder how the NFL would do if the star players said they needed to take the rest of the year off in the middle of the season..........probably about as well as horse racing is doing with its fan base.
