I heard a rumor that you stated that Afleet Alex was sore before the '05 Derby. Can you comment on this.

I cashed over $3K in tickets, so I personally sad to see him retired. Go Scat Daddy Go.
Well said Bogey...

Joel emailed me today to let me know... I really liked this colt a lot too. So maybe he wasn't a speedball or a real flashy winner, but he was very gutsy and tried hard. He was good enough for me.

Cajun, I'm glad you are giving Joel some credit, I know he wasn't a popular figure on the DT board, but bottom line the guy knows what he is talking about and always has an opinion.

Believe me, I get a ton of shiat about it, but I've always like Joel a lot. We share a lot in common and I appreciate a person who has strong opinions and sticks with them. I'm glad to see that you feel the same way. :)

I had a feeling you'd chime in, Hossy! :p

IMO if Jeremy doesn't head to the dead rail, AA wins the triple crown. Madcap Escape went to the dead rail in the Humana Distaff two race prior and it was like quick sand that afternoon and cost AA the triple crown IMO.

Cajun. I consider Joel a personal friend and I agree with you. He's stricly about results and I would put him up against any handicapper in the country heads up.

If you remember well, Joel punked Oracle big time in regards to Scat Daddy and his career. Multiple Grade G1 winner at 2 and 3.

A Canadian Spaceship :eek:

Actually he was coughing his head off coming off the track a few days before the Derby.

Look I cashed a 2k pick 4 at Toga in part due to Mike Smith's ride in the final race last summer at Toga. That doesn't mean he's a great rider. The fact of the matter is i've had this god damn avatar for three weeks and all I asked for was 3 wins to take it down.

Hoss, he definitely wasn't the fastest T-Bred, but he found the winner's circle on numerous ocassions. His racing record must be respected.

Hurt in the Derby and 4th in the Juvy. Not all that bad IMO.

How could you dislike a face like this?
