Now I could have sworn that Indian Blessing was going to ruin these, or words to that effect.

I hope it wasn't your money I took by laying the sh!t out of her. Easy money.

Have the jocks not seen Gladiatorus run before?

If he gets an easy lead, he wins. Never eben thought about him getting that easy lead in a race like this.

that was shocking, we all expect a cracking pace and he's let loose on the lead, race was over after 3 furlongs - Prevsis was unbelievable to come from where he did!!

My thoughts exactly, Brock.

Why on earth was he allowed such an easy lead? That was the most competitive race on the card (or so it looked) and he was allowed to hack over the line.

What were the jocks thinking? Surely they knew they had no chance if they went no pace?

I looked at this horse at the Fasig tipton sale in 06. Remembered him as a nice horse but talked myself off of him because his dam's produce record was so bad. Oops....

Ouch! :)

am i reading right. bought for $8k at that sales?

Only a complete tard like yourself could have watched the race and concluded that giving away 8/5 odds on her was easy money.

If she breaks with the field she wins by a space. Watch the trip she had on the overhead. There are much easier ways to make slightly over 50 cents on the dollar.

yep

Yeah. I think that was the 1st crop of Silic. I looked at them because i figured no one else would be interested.

While the mother might not have been a producer ... she was a half to Haafhd who blew away a field including horses like Azamour, Refuse to Bend, Norse Dancer, Doyen, and Lucky Story when he easily took a Group 1 at Newmarket in his final career start.

Haafhd was a top Euro 3yo in '04 ... so he was in the catalog when this horse sold.

Maybe I'm being too contrarian minded - but when you get down to prices that cheap in a time when the market's ok ... wouldn't you almost prefer they have abysmal pedigrees or dams with unproductive produce records?

I'm never betting this card again.

I would rather play darts.

I layed her at 5/4 on the English exchanges.

No, I probably wouldn't have layed her at 8/5, but 11/8 was far too short about a filly who seems to find the colts just a bit too good.

She had plenty of question marks about her for me, and I'm a big fan of Big City Man.

Horses without experience at Nad Al Sheba often get bad trips, and that was another thing against her.

Are you telling me that she was a play at between 5/4?

Will Albertus Maximus stay 10f.?

Anyone concerned with de Kocks horses - none running well at all.. it would put me off Asiatic Boy!

Snaafy to upset for me.

If this kid wins on Happy Boy that will be $16million in purses in 2 hours.

A "woodchuck" you missed:zz:

I think he'll get home over the trip, but I'm not really confident in saying that. However, it's a dreadful world cup.

I used to love Asiatic Boy, but he's nowhere near the horse he was in the last two years.

Cannot possibly have a bet in this.

Snaafy could possibly win it, but jeez, how bad will that look. The DWC being won by Snaafy. That just shows how bad the race is.

I'd like to see the longshot Joe Louis run well.

or Muhannak - he's worth a throwaway fiver at 100-1! Beckett this week has been talking like he knows what he is doing!!

Sure he can win, but I wasn't too impressed by his Donn win. He should have won easier over Finallymadeit with the way the race set up for him, perhaps it was a stepping stone for today, but the American Hdcp division is nothing to write home about thus far in 09.
