Default I Want revenge

His nice improvement a result of the distance, training on the pro ride, moving to the dirt, the inner at AU,maturity, or just a combination of all of these?

i've also read where it was one of the stronger gothams-so how is it suddenly lesser competition?


jpops-he lost by a scant nose to POTN. and then he obviously handled a dirt surface as well....

Its the same old stale response to a horse that puts out a nice performance. A horse can't just be given credit anymore for being good, its always lesser competition.

Here I speak for myself. G1-placed horse goes up against n1x winners and Inner Track hot shot (how many of these have to crash and burn before you guys get it?). Oh, and I forgot the Charles Town shipper. G1-placed horse gallops. This surprises people? Not rocket science.

Where did you pick this supposed pre-race Grade 1 horse before the race? Surely, since it wasn't " rocket science " even you were able to come up with the winner before the race.

Honestly, your constantly telling people after races why winners were easy to like is laughable. Try doing it beforehand even occasionally....you might be shocked to realize how much less easy it is to do.

Guess she meant the likes of Pioneer of the Nile, ChocolateCandy and Papa Clem are superior to Imperial Council and Mr. Fantasy.

You know she's right

PS How good does that make Pioneer of the Nile look now

All it means is that POTN loves synthetic and I Want Revenge prefers dirt.
I'm guessing I Want Revenge would beat POTN on a conventional dirt track

all we still know is he looks good on synthetics. and how good is a good horse if you say lack of competition is why he won? then he was not so good, just better than the field-and i don't believe that.

In her defense,the horse was dropping in class huge.With the exception of Haynesfield,{who was nowhere to be found in the race}and Russell Road{a winner of restricted and statebred sprints}This horse was taking on 1st level allowance company.I want Revenge broke his maiden on the stretch out,and went right to G1/G2 competition and ran very respectfully.He should have,and did,handle the Gotham field very well with no problems.Basically a walkover,if you ask me.
