Don't Get Mad was actually a horse I liked. But please...the Indiana Derby????? Was an ok horse.
Running 4th in the derby is ok..nothing to brag about. Losing to the worst derby winner in the history of derbies (Giacomo) isnt something to brag about.
Yeah...Action This Day was a nice horse...please...the horse was the worst BC winner ever. Horse didnt do **** before and was horrible after.....lightning struck the day he won the BC race....and it was Mandella ( a solid trainer) who trained the horse...not Ellis....
SO far you have given me Buzzards Bay.....Don't Get Mad....And to a lesser extent ATD. Sounds like the old tugboat needs to swing around..pick these 3 horses up...and head off to the Island of Misfit Horses with this group...

By the way, Buzzard's Bay went the opening quarter in :22 4/5 in the Oaklawn race. He didn't have an easy lead either. He had a horse breathing down his neck the whole time. He had a horse within a length of him the whole time. He goes the quarter in :22 4/5, the half in :46 3/5 and he has a horse within 3/4 of a length of him at the half. He ended up winning the race by 6 lengths. It was one of the best performances of the year. It was an incredibly strong race. Practically every horse in that race came back to win graded stakes races. I think there were 5 or 6 horses in that race that came back and won big races. I think Andromeda's Hero was the only horse in that race that didn't come back to win.
