He registered a big stride (almost 26 feet long) - but didn't show a great deal of raw speed - his quarter mile work was in 21.20 seconds.

He was a $60K yearling and sold for $190,000 after that work.

I doubt something like that had much of anything to do with the decision to aim for the Blue Grass - but the horse did get over that stupid surface well enough to think it shouldn't be any concern or excuse.

I need to go over the replays of GP's races today much closer before I come to any strong opinions about this horse.

A 30 pack is about the equal of 3 beers at Siro's

Yes, he's been beating up on Spanky Fishbein impressively.

Ha! Ha!

Perhaps I'm being naive but the fact that IEAH bought into Court Vision and Pure Clan will keep them plenty busy enough on Derby/Oaks weekend to give Big Brown the time he needs. I imagine they'd love a Travers horse too.

I will chalk this up to trying to one-up PG1985 in the craziness department.

I see you didn't spend your time away from here honing your handicapping skills.

I think you are much to harsh towards the management at IEAH.

Most importantly....it's " too. "

They have already said they are running him in the Blue Grass. How exactly does that translate into bringing him along slowly to the Travers?

So, are you assuming the people with IHEA think they have the derby & oaks in the bag?

Yes, you are a fine handicapper.

I'm going to the track today and, lamentably, will not be able to access your suggested plays.

Is there a 900 number I can call?

I got Amex, Visa, MC, Discover and also a Blimpie's Lunch Club card.

$$ no object.

SWEET FANCY MOSES!!

Andy is absolutely right. I do not doubt for one second that you are a legend in the local OTB. I mean, hell, you are clearly the biggest legend in the history of this board. I can't really put into words what your triumphant return here means to all of us, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that I can't wait to see those pick-3s.
Best of luck to you, and please stick around.
