Blind Luck
 
If they think she has DERBY potential, will they try the colts in a prep or go straight to the derby with out the ccolt measuring stick?

She has Derby Potential, but they will keep measuring her ability based on what she does on this Pro Ride. I don't think she likes this Pro Ride. I think, when she gets back on dirt (or even the synthetic at HWD,) you'll see a huge effort. She's no lock (to even beat fillies again) on Pro Ride. So, they won't try the Derby with her. They will run her in the Oaks. For one thing, this guy fks up anything he's every tried to win the Derby with. He's a very good trainer, but he can't train for that race.

As good as her trainer has been in Nocal, hasnt it only the last 3-4 years that he has ventured to Socal?

Blind Luck has no Ky Derby potential.

What about Proviso in the Frank E. Kilroe?

Or Devil May Care (I think that's the name of the '09 Frizette winner) in the Derby?

But he can train for the Oaks, having won the race twice.

Congrats, great call.

How about Zenyatta in the Apple Blossom?

With 4 whole weeks out, I think she will run in the Arky derby next week.
Then Hollendorfer will probably rest her up for the derby trial, to get a race over the track.
The Derby Trial should sharpen her for a Oaks-Derby back2back Double dip.:rolleyes:

He actually posted this in early March but I laughed at your response.

I guess it would help if I looked at the post date...before I go all smart-as$.

This is the sort of stuff that can happen when goons bump threads from weeks ago in order to pat themselves on the back for predicting that a 2-5 shot would run big.

JerseyJ 04-02-2010 11:08 PM

Looks like Blind Luck ran pretty damn big today...I believe, a 104 beyer for Blind Luck and a 100 beyer for runner up Tidal Pool.

Waste of your time to blame me, because I don't give a fk about the type of form complaint you made. I said she'd run huge in her return to dirt. Last time I looked, there's no place to bet on the ease of a win. I said above that she could compete with boys on dirt. Someone else popped up (like fresh dog poop) to say she had no chance at all. Note how people never complain when some people make unsubstantiated claims? My original entry was made a few days before the Santa Anita Oaks. I was trying to let people know she wasn't a good play in that. Sure enough, what happened? Got her ass beat. I said wait until she gets back on dirt. The difference is day n' night. Yesterday's post was a response to someone else. It's not for you. It's a piece of evidence that should be combined with the December race to back up my claim that she has a shot (on dirt) against the boys (which is what the original poster asked about.) This thread has nothing to do with your nosy ass...Zero.

Great stuff. So now you want even more credit for liking a 2-5 shot. "Not only is it going to win, but its gonna win EASY!"

Is there gonna be a World War III, Mr. Nostradamus?

Isn't saying she can be competitive with colts still an unsubstantiated claim?

Or is dusting Tidal Pool enough substantiation?

Hey, I gave out Proviso AND Devil May Care on this thread before they ran.

Obviously, I don't have the influence to affect odds they way you do though, as those two were both a bit higher than 2-5.

Bump.

Come on guys, it's the first time SCUDS has ever posted anything that turned out to be even mildly prophetic. Cut him some slack. I'm sure he also bumped his brilliant Caracortado opinions as well.

Right?

It serves them right for picking that race to run in. Have you even seen that trip at all? Wow. You watch it once, or with one eye on a movie? It's as if the 2 Puhich trained horses were only in the race to try to beat L.A.L., and ended up blocking (or cutting off) all but the winner, and the Hollendorfer newcomer (who also SEEMED TO BE USED TO HELP SEAL OFF THE CHALK HORSE,TOO.) I will say it was stupid to run in that race(no pace, and 2 horses who almost never run out of the money.) If people go read it, they'll see I didn't pick that horse in that prep. I thought they should have run elsewhere. YOU'LL NOT ONCE SEE ME SAY HE WAS GUNNA WIN THAT RACE, but you rely on people not checking stuff out.

SCUDSBROTHER 02-08-2011 07:44 PM

Anyone else want to talk some more shyt about me liking Caracortado?
