Well, tell us what a trainer needs to do to make sure their horse runs the best race of their life? I guess that 12 trainers got out-trained by Kiran.

you guys are so full of it.

you clearly get offended when someone even suggests that Albertrani did not do his job.

Repent

I am still trying to figure out how he didnt do his job. I dont know how running the same figs as previous races and getting beat by a horse like Invasor means you are not doing your job. I guess TA said screw it and I am not going to train Dini--he will win because he is the best horse in the race.

Im not going to tell you b/c its not my place.
I do not know the first thing about horses.
results speak for themselves.
his horse lost to McLaughlin's horse and that f*cked up my late pick 4.

f*ck him and f*ck all of his supporters like yourself.


Repent

I am not supporting either of them or anyone. But I am glad you came to the realization that you dont now the first thing about horses. However, that does make you an expert on deciding if a trainer did his/her job or not.

good gosh man.
stop talking about the Sprint.

its another race with other horses in another pick 4 entirely.

I dont give 2 sh*ts about what McLaughlin's horse did in the BCS.
I singled Bordonaro, so I was dead regardless of what HH did.


Repent

the only time I am around horses is when they saddle them and walk them around that ring at Lone Star.

I dont have any interest in horses themselves.

whether a trainer did his job is clear to everyone by the results of the race.
you dont have to know anything about horses to know that.


Repent

Albetrani didn't f*ck up your pick 4, you did by not including the best horse in the field and the value play of the entire card on your ticket.

no, you dont NEED to comment on anything.
stop talking about the BCS.
why not talk about the 5th at Hollypark on Saturday?


Repent

Oh good lord. Ok lets see here. I guess Bob Baffert didnt have Point Given ready in the Derby. I guess that Servis didnt have Smarty ready in the Belmont. I guess that Mott didnt have Cigar ready in the Pacific Classic....do I need to go on here. You are cracking me up.

I went 7 deep in that race in my pick 3 and I didnt have Invasor. It is bettor error not trainer error.

yeah,
real clever after the race is run.

maybe you had him.
dont really care b/c its not going to put any money in my pocket.
congrats if you hit the late pick 4, but I dont really care if you did or not.


Repent

you guys are crazy.
no freaking way I am going to blame myself.

Im done.
have fun kissing up to Albertrani.


Repent

Guys, no matter what happened, both horses were tremendous! Both horses and both trainers deserve our respect for delighting us. It was an great race, and will go down in history books. P.s. hope you guys made money, I did, love that super!!!!!:D

Nope, I didn't have any tickets with both Round Pond and Red Rocks on them although I had Invasor on everything. The difference is I'm not on here saying the trainer didn't do their jobs because my horses got beat or broke down.

well thats you, not me.

do expect everyone to be as mature as you.


Repent

I agree--post of the year right there. Got to love the younger generation--they never want accept responsibility and want to blame others. PERFECT

Point taken and I apolgize.

Next time my low level claiming horse loses I am going to make sure I blame the trainer and to fire him because he didnt do his job.

Sh it happens.

Repent I would expect you to be the last person to sue a company because you burned your crotch after spilling hot coffee on yourself. Many things happen in sports that are completely random and no one is to blame. The ball bounced the wrong way, tough luck.

It is the job of sports announcers to lay blame on a team, player, GM etc... even when events are actually totally random. Very un-Republican of you. A party switch seems imminent.

Again, if Invasor had not entered this race... Cunningham would be able to post again, and Bernardini would enter the top 10 horses of all time. I find this scenario amusing.

I had red rocks, round pond and invasor in my late pick four. I just didnt have that damn miesques approval. The funniest thing was that i went deepest in the mile. Go figure. that 48 dime payout really hurt.

you hear the bells and whistles going off? we have a winner folks!! bernardini ran the same race he's been running all year, not worse. the same. and this time it wasn't enough for first, unlike against the cupcakes he's been tackling much of the year. it was almost enough, but you see what happens to 'won going away' when the level of competition is so much better? HE doesn't improve, unlike what many thought. and the gap shrank considerably, as well it should.

LOL. Do you have the tcket from the Songster Saratoga race taped to your mirror?

Stud,
Maybe he SHOULD have at least breezed him in a set maybe even one time, to sorta prepare him for being looked in the eye?
I love starting trouble like this thread by making one post and then going to bed. I woke up and found 70 responses. Its quite amusing.

the training was fine, bernardini ran like he always did. why can't everyone recognize that? time was the same as his other efforts at this distance, similar beyer--just this time his talent wasn't head and shoulders over the competition. only invasor beat him, not like he was beat a mile, he just couldn't win by his usual margin, because he wasn't facing the same type of horses.

Zieg while I agree with everything you wrote(I'm just loving all the Dini is the greatest horse who ever lived nitwits having to sit there and eat ****), fact is that he(Albertrani) had every edge over Invasor(KMC) in that race.
Albertrani wasn't the one who was forced to scratch his horse out of the JCGC, he got his ideal prep.
Kiarin and his brother Neal were forced to prepare Invasor off a WHITNEY LAYOFF!!!!!! And prepare he did!!!

Met Kiarin's brother Neal at a Jiffy Lube up here in Saratoga(already knew Kiarin) the day before I left for Kentucky, it was quite ironic. I had called Kiarin the day before to make an offer on a cheap NY bred he had for a Finger Lakes guy who is a client of mine. I was waiting for them to get done changing my oil and the lady behind the counter said "Mr McLaughlin, your car will be ready in 20 minutes" to the guy across from me. He had on a DUbai World Cup hat and red hair and I just looked at him and said "you just have to be Kiarins brother". He was also getting to travel down to Ky and we chatted about a few things, what a great guy. He said the horse had never trained better in his life, and I hope the folks who I passed that on to in the Friday night chat via telephone link got some.
Trust me, the good guys won that race.

Like the broke cousin who always shows up on Thanksgiving, it's good to know there are things in life you can count on.

Exactly - it's not like Bernardini ran last. He ran a very good race against a very good older horse, but it wasn't enough. Unfortunately, it happens. Tom had no control over how any of the other horses ran in the race. His colt ran terrific, but what was he supposed to do about Invasor? It happens - it's not Bernardini ran up the track.

The real agenda has finaly come out. Repent trying to blame someone for his betting mistake and totaly nothing to do with horseracing. He should use my excuse "The Devil made me do it".
