He's baaaaaack!! And going 7f!
 
TGM, saturday, belmont.

be there, or be square.

SniperSB23 10-11-2007 02:42 PM

Good thing he's got that extra furlong cause last race I really think he would have got there with a little extra ground. :rolleyes:

Coach Pants 10-11-2007 03:08 PM

If Pletcher gets the kinks worked out this horse could win the Donn.

Linny 10-11-2007 03:10 PM

If Pletcher works the kinks out of him he could win a MSW at the Mountain this winter!

Feastorfamine looks good here. I might just box the 4 most logical contenders who aren't named The Green Monkey in an exacta box.

I'll take square.

What are the chances that "The Green Monkey" becomes a verb? Example:

"I paid $20,000 for this used car, and it hasn't run properly since I bought it. I got The-Green-Monkied by the seller."

I hope he wins by 10 on Saturday.

Merlinsky 10-11-2007 06:56 PM

Er...he's done enough?

Danzig 10-11-2007 07:33 PM

if he thought the spanked monkey needed longer, shouldn't TAP have found something with more than one extra furlong?

too soon
let him win one first. assuming he can do so.

Cajungator26 10-11-2007 07:34 PM

It's a good thing a horse doesn't know when it's ridiculed, or this colt would have quite the complex! LOL

no, he'd have his muzzle in the air, sneering down his looong nose at those who went for so much less at auction.

In a very proper British accent I might add. :D [/b]

That's funny. Think I'll get that started amongst my circle.

viscount26 10-12-2007 09:14 AM

I hope he likes the Mud. NY has had more rain in a day than in the last month, and it may take a week to dry out
:rolleyes:

Is it true that Tarzan is going to be the race caller ? :D :D

whodey17 10-12-2007 01:17 PM

I say that TGM should try the hurdles.

Weird, I was going to say "slim to none, but closer to none."

However, if you do choose to use it, you'll need to keep everything in perspective. I'll add a little addendum to Justin's thought.

You can't just say that the $20K car got you green-monkied just because it doesn't work. You can only use that verb if you paid $20K for the car, knowing full well that it was only worth about $2-3K, but decided you were willing to pay about 10x what it was worth just because your arch enemy wanted it too.

So it's not really the car's fault for being a piece of crap when valued at $20K, it really is that you yourself caused the whole green-monkeying of the situation by paying some 8-10x what the car was really worth in the first place.

I think that "wow that was phucking stupid" is an already existing, and perfectly suitable expression for those situations.

And he's Dave Litfins' best bet of the day! Says he chased one of the fastest paced maiden races on the circuit...

letswastemoney 10-12-2007 10:05 PM

Does anyone like Joppa Flat's to win here? I know he has seconditis, but he's been losing to some winners (Winstrella, Merchant Marine).

I've been following Joppa Flats for about a year now, and needless to say, he's eaten alot of my money:( .. as Steve said, he had a perfect trip and the entire stretch to get by in his last, still came up a nose short. He just doesn't finish his races, but is shortening up today. Kaper Lake is one I might take a closer look at.

Coach Pants 10-13-2007 12:53 PM

10 mtp Even Money!!!

letswastemoney 10-13-2007 01:08 PM

I knew The Green Monkey would lose...I didn't have the right horse on top though :(

Scav 10-13-2007 01:08 PM

I just can't believe that the hilarious public just wasted 160k just on WPS wagers on this horse. Amazes me

what are you talking about dude?

if you knew how to watch a race, you could clearly tell that he wants more distance. they should send him 9f next time!

Coach Pants 10-13-2007 01:09 PM

I still think he can win the Donn. He just needs a good horse psychiatrist.

It's even more ridiculous: $200K! At least there were no major bridge-jumpers... the Show Pool was just under $16K, as opposed to the win pool of $141K.

Danzig 10-13-2007 01:14 PM

where did he finish?

Coach Pants 10-13-2007 01:15 PM

They should rename him Sam Bowie.

GPK 10-13-2007 01:28 PM

Danzig 10-13-2007 01:29 PM
