Predictions for 2012
 

Anyone have any they want to share? C'mon you know you want to!

It's always fun to look back.

The 2011 thread...

Who wants to go first?

I predict that they'll stop having the sun, so you better get tan now, I predict.

You mean a nice healthy tan and not Jersey Shore, right?

Thank you, Sir, for making the first prediction.

Any that are racing related? If not it's okay.

Not like it's a horsie board or anything...:p

I predict that Randall is going to re-appear.

I predict CD is going to run 9 of 12 Saturday cards at night

Ok, fine, be that way...

I predict that the morons who run the BC have run out of ideas for increasing the number of BC races, thus there will be no new BC races this year!

Who ever said I am not an optimist!

I predict that a bunch of horses that will already have been qualified to make the BC will win some win and you are in races.

I predict there will be a great meeting of some brilliant handicapping minds tomorrow at Tampa Bay Downs, and that liquid refreshment will flow... Quatrain 4.:)

Brilliant might be a bit of a stretch...............:rolleyes:

Perhaps a wee bit, but the proof will be in the pudding, I mean results. I don't even think Nostradamus could have come up with the late pick 4 at TBD today:zz:

:D

they're going to outlaw saturday night so you better have fun now, i predict.

Cold beer and pretzels, takes care of cancer.

you can try a handlebar design. a fu manchu is real fine. a ronald coleman makes em blink. a pancho villa makes em think. but if you shave it real small. your jewish friends will never call.

i predict.

rht will get banned.

again.

Rangers win the cup

From your mouth to God's ears....................

Hansen wins the Kentucky Derby :)

Oh look a real prediction on the prediction thread! :tro:

That's what I'm talking about.

This one counts too. :D

No one wants to make a Derby prediction? Imagine if you're right! You can lord it over everyone big time!

Tapizar wins Horse of the Year. :o

That's the spirit. I picked Drosselmeyer last year. (He did have that one nice race anyway...) :D

Godolphin win the DERBY and Preakness and Then Shiek Mo's 4th cousin who married his 3rd wives sister in law from Qatar ships in a monster he buys in Chile to win the Belmont by a nose over the Godolphin charge. Rumors surface that Pat Cummings set up the Shieks cousin on a blind tent date at the carnival in 2004. Shiek Mo is enranged at Pat and sacks him as the Spokesman for Hallal Boys food trucks throughout NYC. Pat goes Chapter 11 and promises to repay everyone as soon as Syria opens their new track where he has been named Director of Operations. My Miss Storm cat is named CPO(Chief Publicity Officer)

Good Luck Pat!!

Endorsement will win the BCC.

I am still very upset with you but want to respond to this (oh and just to be nice - if you even remember what that word means -I can't find Tam Lin. I've looked)..

I have switched sides so to speak...

I am not little Miss Godolphin nor have I been for some time.

Even the "were going to Dubai thread" no longer has a ! at the end (oh shut up no one else cares but I made sure not to).

Just for the record...

Carry on.

Aaah... someone else who understands the point! :D :tro:

ITS A JOKE.. OMG what do I have to do wear a clown suit and make up

Yes.

(I know it's a joke. Duh. I am jst done being associated with any of that stuff. That's all. Am I not allowed to speak? If I put a rest in peace at the end can I? Geez calm down you'll give yourself a heart attack).

Amen. They need one more top 6 forward. Preferably a vet winger who can put the puck in the net.

Mr.ROI Takes a great deal of well deserved abuse and chooses to post elsewhere. His spread sheet proves that if you list the morning line favorite and don't bet it until the horse's odds are 9-1, your handle for 2012 will be zero.

:tro:

Fail.
Will not happen.

Frankel will only race at one mile in no more than 5 starts and won't race in the US.
Havre De Grace will be unplaced in the New Orleans Handicap and will retire shortly thereafter.
Shackleford will lose his first 3 starts of the season, then switch trainers and win 3 in a row, including a Grade 1.
Royal Delta will be unplaced in the New Orleans, then a distant 3rd in the Ogden Phipps, then retired.
Winter Memories will be off the board in her comeback, promptly retired.
Ruler On Ice will lose 4 in a row to start the year, then will win a minor race at Monmouth before losing at least 3 more races.
Animal Kingdom will be run well in his comeback, then run poorly in consecutive races on the main track, then will tank in the Arlington Million and retire.
Pluck will not return.
Caleb's Posse, To Honor And Serve, Adios Charlie, Stay Thirsty and Much Macho Man will all be unplaced in the Met Mile.
Hansen will set the pace in the Derby and fade back to at least 12th.
Union Rags will not start in the Kentucky Derby.
Creative Cause will start in the Kentucky Derby, but he'll be at least 20-1.
Treasure Beach will attempt to emulate Cape Blanco in the US for Coolmore, but won't be successful.
Flat Out will not win a race this year.
Friend Or Foe will win a NY-bred stake then lose either the Suburban, Whitney, or Woodward and retire.
Rail Trip will narrowly win a minor race at Hollywood Park, then tank in all graded stakes attempts and retire.
If Tres Borrachos ever wins again it will be around one turn.
Slumber will place in the Manhattan, then win the Man O'War, Sword Dancer, and Joe Hirsch Classic in succession.
Mr. Commons will win the Shoemaker Mile, Eddie Read, and Oak Tree Mile but will be unplaced in the BC Mile.

In 2012----Thoroughbred Owner Mike Repole expands his sports activities into Major League Baseball and buys the New York Mets... Please !!!!

Orfevre will win the Arc.

Zito wins the Met Mile.


Belmont Park is rocking Belmont Stakes day after a colt destroys the competition in the Preakness after having won the Derby.

You can hear a pin drop after the Belmont Stakes when a son of Jazil spoils. :D

There will be zero short jokes slung my way.

i think they may need to start a wishlist thread...:D

Does Zito have something I dont know about? I was going to predict that Jackson Bend wont win a race this year.... Glad I backed off that. He will not win the Met.

"At the Races" will replay at it's orignial timespot on Sirrius radio. Please...:(
