Maybe he does have distance limitations but it seems to me that he may have something going on or it was an off day.
As for my familiarity with Kiaran's horses, he happens to be an excellent trainer but I am more familiar with his operation out of Belmont. And yes he has said hi more than once or twice.
You CAN be a decent handicapper AND be a fan of certain horses or trainers. It is more difficult to ensure you are objective, but it certainly makes the whole experience more enjoyable.
Now for the rest of you, was everything spelled to your liking?

Thanks, I've learned another way to redboard.
Tell how much I love a horse, then tell how I crushed the race after I threw him out.
