Any Given Saturday.....
...is getting a lot of support in the Doubles. As is Red Rocks.
|
he should be near the front so ya gotta consider this horse along w HS and LR and SS...the track so far is playing against SS in that the front runners are benefitting from the track and i don't see cheap speed in this race. an edge to AGS, LR and HS.

you are not my shrink. go see yours. HS held his speed throughout. there's more to the game than win bets, buster.

Hard Spun does not get his picture taken very often...but ya gotta give him tremendous credit for how he has performed in so many of the top races
|
Hard Spun hanging on for second does not really help support the bias argument

any given looked uncomfortable, and lawyer ron looked like he was climbing the first part of the race. both spun their wheels.

Larry Jones didn't Cowboy Up. Why didn't he bring a lasso to Mamouth?

LR looked uncomfortable on the track warming up be4 the race for the brief few moments i saw him with the pony, and HS ran about as well as he could@the distance. no shame in his race, its obvious what his strengths are normally id say why the hell dont they just stick to em but no shame in getting second in a race worth that much is there? |

hard spun ran his typical race, which wasn't quite good enough for the win. but no doubt curlin ran on the same hay oats and water the ass man always gives his horses. |

when that lead surprisingly opened up on the back side you knew he'd be in the money. but Curlin's move was powerful and i'd say he dominated the track. my hat is off to him on a great finale. he'll be missed along with Hard Spun, Street Sense, Lawyer Ron and George Washington. Any others from the classic I missed that are retiring ?

i know they had said before that there was a chance any given would stay in training. so that's out now?

They said that about Bernardini too |

hey, that's it. i'm going to open a track and name a race the 'he's done enough stakes'. |

I didn't say "great" horse, but a competitor in the years to come... |

i guess. i have a hard time feeling warm and fuzzy towards pletcher horses. probably because he doesn't feel warm and fuzzy about them--at least it seems that way. but yeah, the more the merrier. |
Maybe LAWYER RON got finished by his last three races and HARD SPUN'S 45 and change.

Quote:
if anyone got done in by hard spuns 45, it was hard spun. they could have run 48, ron still wouldn't like the surface. |

ags should be the one working in the parking lot at a wal-mart giving kids pony rides for a buck the way he ran yesterday.
he snapped my streak of picking 4 classic winners in a row in big way. i still don't understand why he ran like that. |

and no, no pro teams in arkansas. but i've always been a skins fan, so i don't feel the lack. certainly not bitter. enjoy your day in the bars. hope i didn't sound too bitter or envious there...:rolleyes: |
I might consider AGS somewhat enigmatic for me. Not specifically yesterday. On one hand, I never, ever put him in the same class as Street Sense, Hard Spun or Curlin. On the other hand his Haskell had to make you either take notice or think twice (maybe three or more times). On what would perhaps be a third hand -- even after the Haskell, I never for a split second considered him a better horse than the big three so to speak. Even with that start over the track -- rain or not, I never once considered him my "I'm betting this horse in the BC Classic"
AGS just never looked like he was definitively getting better, moving forward, progressing. Sure, he was better (maybe much better) after the Derby than before, but, he was supposed to be. His Dwyer was a good performance, but he wasn't racing against the cream of the crop 3yo's (like this crop or not, he wasn't racing against the best in the crop). His Haskell was crucial -- that was his day to get a G1 and put that notch on his resume. That's your stallion statement. The Brooklyn was a race against sub-par older horses (don't get me wrong, I'd love to own a few of them). I just didn't think there was that much more in the tank. He often looked like he was all out. That's often visual in nature and you really need to know what you are looking at in order to decipher what's going on. You need to what kind of horse he is, etc., and I spoke with Johnny V. about the horse and understand the kind of horse he is. I just didn't think he was in the first tier. Anyway, great race and a great BC. Eric |
