Dear Dubai apologists...
Wait until next year, right?

next years will be better than what they've brought thus far, right? at least, that's what they said this year. |

Dave, first you let them stick their feet in their mouth further. Then you go for the throat.
Can't blame anyone for not having the winner, but I can find laughable anyone who took these Dubai bozos seriously. And I do. |

I'm really annoyed at what happened to Papa Clem. By the way, did anyone else find it really weird how Thorn Song was ridden in the early part of the stretch drive? Was he asleep? Did he not want to hit the board? I don't understand these things, the nonsensical things that go through these pinheads tiny little brains. |
Join The Dance, I am not saying Regal Ransom would have won today by any means, let me repeat just to be sure there is no misunderstanding Regal Ransom would not have won today, but Join The Dance was a factor today and in many ways should be given an 'assist' for the tap in scored by MTB. I guess he has earned his Acronym name also.

Sorry, I was still too livid over Gomez's ride on Visit to notice. I actually cashed tickets on the Derby, BTW--4 $3 consos on the KO/WR/KD pick-3. Hooray! |

He's a terrible fit for her. I'd love to see them let her go to the lead, like she obviously wants! I hate jockeys. That's probably more Frankelfuk's fault more than Gomez, but still. |

Maybe Pletcher and the Dubai folk can team up for a 10 million dollar super-over-hyped inexperienced horse next year. Cant wait :)

I was wrong, played both, congrats to anyone who had the winner. I sure as hell didn't. Not making excuses but Desert Party to have surgery... http://www.godolphin.com/NewsArticle.aspx?id=4380 I think it's a lot easier to say who won't hit the board in a field of 20 than who will but whatever. I was wrong... there you go. They're both pretty nice horses though. I'm still a fan of both. :) |

If it was his barn that did her in, wouldn't she have improved when moved into Dutrow's care for the Ashland? NT |
Come back with these statements when they go 0-20+ like Pletcher in the Derby..
|
Apparently Mine That Bird is a Muslim. I don't know how I feel about that...
:zz: |
Godolphin haven't got the know how to win a Derby, and the way it looks over here suggests they no longer know how to win a british classic either.
I had to laugh today when I saw that Crisford has said that Devotee will be taken to America as they think she's more suited to dirt. Do they even know what they are doing? |

desert party is going to have surgery to remove a chip. they say they don't know when it occured, but that it did have an impact on his derby run.
if they don't know when it occurred, how do they know it impacted the race? |

If I gave Pletcher half the money these drape-wearing dopes have squandered on their Derby ambitions over the past decade, he'd have won at least 3 or 4 Derbies by now, if only inadvertantly. On a ROI basis there is probably no other failure in the history of sport that approaches the Derby efforts of these clowns. Frank Stronach's race track management and growth plan looks positively visionary in comparison. The Yankees would have to sign 250 Carl Pavanos in a row to get into their league. Dan Synder is a sports wunderkind by the standard they have set. You should be laughing your ass off at their futility in this endeavor, and reveling in their frustration. It proves Allah humbles us all. |

you have an agenda here against the Sheiks so I'm not going to bother. |

As I said before, sycophants to money and power are everywhere--and always embarrassing wherever you find them. |

2009: Dunkirk- $3,700,000 Advice- $170,000 2008: Monba- $200,000 2007: Scat Daddy- $250,000 Any Given Saturday- $1,100,000 Sam P.- $200,000 Cowtown Cat- $1,500,000 NT |
Those numbers are absolute chump change compared to what these people have spent on their Derby efforts, pocket change.
|
I don't think Godolphin discloses private purchase prices but just this year they paid out a fortune between Vineyard Haven, Desert Party, and Regal Ransom. Midshipman, who they got in the purchase from Stonerside, cannot be quantified.
The Pletcher numbers listed are funny simply because of how much was paid for Cowtown Cat. We could certainly go on forever about the two people whose ass the Derby has kicked harder than any other: TAP and Sheikh Mo. NT |
Pletcher > bin Syrup or whatever the hell that douchenozzle goes by that trains for 'em.

Pletcher is like football coach Marty Schottenheimer he gets them there but can't get them over the mountain. Godolphin just shoots them at the foot of the mountain.

i just think it's interesting they say they don't know when it occured-so how do you know when it had an affect? |
Not sure why people who dont actually spend any money buying horses or trying to win races feel the need to knock those that do regardless of the amount of money spent. I doubt that Sheik Mo loses any sleep over not winning the Derby or that you find amusement in it. As proven again this year it is sometimes a fluky race that produces strange results.
