What a long, strange trip it's been (for Casino Drive)
 

He's finally getting ready for his comeback.

Poor horse has had how many things go wrong now?

Anyway...

This should be in international but I thought maaaybe he still had fans here so for those of you too lazy to climb the long staircase and venture into intl.... :D

it's been almost 2 yrs

He might not have been that good, but with the way that Belmont was run and Big Browns issue/issues whatver its hard to say he would not have won that race. At the time I was really thinking about unloading on him, like biggest bet of my life at the time. Its really a shame that he got injured.

Did it ever occur to you that he got hurt because you were going to unload on him?

I love love love love Uncle Mo.
Triple Crown winner. Then Repole says screw retirment. He comes back wins the Haskell, Travers, JCGC and BCC. Then Repole says screw it, Im bringing him back at 4. He wins the Donn, Dubai World Cup, Stephen Foster, Whitney, Woodward, JCGC and Classic again. Then Repole says f#ck it Im running him at 5. He comes back and wins the Donn, Met Mile, Big Cap, Pacific Classic, Goodwood, BCC, and Cigar Mile. Then Repole says dam yo, Im going to get ambitious. He comes back at 6 he wins the Mineshaft, Met, Stephen Foster, Big Cap, Whitney, Islen, Woodward, JCGC, BC sprint, BC mile and BC classic on the same card, then before retirment he wins the Japan Cup dirt.
Best career everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

It's on now Mother Fugger.

What was just joking around before with you is over.

I will never relent from punishing you.

I may not do it very often, but since you have broken our deal, I am going to apply a really snide and nasty streak in my posts with you.

Your jinx won't work by the way. It's obvious you don't expect that to happen and you have to be sincere in your love of a horse for something really bad to happen to it.

I can't stop laughing. :tro:

If he were in, he'd be in the preview...:wf

(Not everyone is, of course, but this guy would definitely be there).

Apparently, he might be going to one in March at Hanshin...

Good Stuff Charlie

BTW lest we forget, if Casino Drive did win the Belmont what a feat for Better Than Honour.
She would have sired three back to back Belmont Stakes winners and that would have been a feat most likely never to be repeated:eek:

ain't that the truth.

First time a mare sired anything and they all won the Belmont!:p

Zenyatta is next

Pointed to the Nigawa Stakes (March 6th)...
