Default Indian Blessing vs Music Note

and IB gets weight from MN going 7f!

I actually don't think IB is really the same horse since she was predicted to win the BC last year (by you know who). I imagine Informed Decision is the horse to beat.

Obviously if IB runs like she can though....

I hope everyone bets Informed Decision. I can't possibly seeing her run that good a race on fast dirt, or any dirt for that matter. IB at 80% on a fast track should thump Informed Decision.

The pace situation also worked out quite nicely for Indian Blessing.

This race is all 4-2. Music Note will be lucky to clunk for third.

Hey, weren't you the one who was all over my ass in a PM when I said she'd run crappy in her comeback race? Something about her being a great filly, etc etc etc.

I was not all over your ass at all. If your going to say **** at least tell the truth. I said she could have EASILY HAD A EXCUSE. Maybe multiple excuses. The Dubai trip, the synthetics, and whatever else. She is a champion filly who has consistently ran FASTER THEN WHAT SHE FACES ON SATURDAY. It's not a biased opinion on my end, its a fact that on dirt she's 14 beyer points better then her only real competition.

Sorry man, I was referring to Music Note, not IB. I did not communicate that clearly at all.

When I made a comment to the effect that MN was badly overrated, before her comeback race, you PM'd me (at least I was told that name was yours at the time) telling me what an idiot I am.

Like I already didn't know!

I'm SHOCKED!!!

Is this the best we could do in terms of a setup for Indian Blessing?

Couldn't we get her that match race with Sweetnorthernsaint (and have him get left at the gate, as usual) on a speed favoring track (just in case )?

Baffert has been working on her footwork in the morning...Rumor has it that she is walking on her toes in toe shoes extremely well. She is changing leads and her knew barrel race regiment has her particularly sharp. Nimble Nimble Nimble

If you have no idea about the nuances of turf sprinting, why do you feel the need to repeatedly mess with me? I realize you think you're FUNNY but I basically consider you just another clueless idiot. Another time waster. You have nothing of value to offer me.

Go away, Bro. You're a ****in embarrassment.

Let me help you but letting go back to sucking on my iggy.

No more attention for Freddy.
