If you would like we could make a nice little wager and I could fax you the IRS signings of the tickets.
And sorry, but very few owners are going to have as good an opinion on handicapping a race as about 15 people on here. Its an opinion, nothing more.
My "info" on here rarely if ever comes from a trainer, because like Blackthroat I don't like "trainer info". My info comes from a clocker who is the most respected private clocker in NY, and is known all over. he is there every morning in the dark and his opinion and tiimes are sought out by Zito, Frankel, Dutrow, Kimmel, and many others. He used to train, and trained grade one winners. Hes older now, and clocks. If Joe says he saw it, I take it as gospel. How would a trainer or owner know better than a good clocker? I mean a good clocker catches the fractions correctly and furthermore, one who used to train also pays attention to the way they are striding out and switching leads. Basically, owner and trainer info is useless, unless they asked the opinion of a good clocker.
Ok. I watched a guy who used to post on ESPN site, tell people for weeks that Barbaro would romp. Didn't see you say that. Nice you picked a tri for $2, I actually lost $1K on the race betting SNS, but I watched my friend make more money than most people make in a year betting on the horse in future pools and on derby day and he told me the same thing about this weekend. I will go with the guy who I have watched collect and who posted on 3 sites how Barbaro couldn't lose. He said SU couldn't be beaten just like Barbaro. He also knows a little more than you and your clocker friend when it comes to the horse business.
