Secret Oath

You guys have my word of honor.

I won't let the trolls get to me anymore.

I'll participate in talking about our great sport.

Or I'll abstain.

I'm guilty of the dysfunction too.

Sorry.

You're like a Used Car Salesman. Nobody here is buying it.

We know a troll when we see one.

She ran a 94 BSF and now head to a spot she will need to run 5pts faster to be in the mix? You realize they have some nice filly races like the Phipps Alabama Coaching Club etc. ?

The question was meant to ask what do you think of the decision SHOULD they decide to run in the Preakness.

If she was my filly there's less than ZERO chance I'd run her back in two weeks against boys.

Her win yesterday was on 5 weeks rest which of course is the exact same amount of time until Belmont day.

What"s the big 3yo filly race that weekend at NYRA?

I wouldn’t run her in the Preakness and definitely not in the Belmont. But not because she’s a filly. I wouldn’t run a colt in either of those races either unless I had won or skipped the Derby. As for later in the year, I’d absolutely be open to trying a race like the Haskell or Travers or Penn Derby. I don’t think there’s anything to lose. If she wins or runs well, it doesn’t hurt her reputation and she can always return to her own division. Pretty much like the Arkansas Derby.

I’m not playing your games Vic.

OMG is it hard to win a big race or what?

EPICENTER camp must be thinking what in hell do we have to do?

Get that effort and ride from a Derby Favorite and lose to that horse.

He was 80-1 only because of the unsophisticated way races like the Derby are bet.

Longshots get played for no other reason than being longshots.

IMO 800-1 would be more accurate as to his true chances of winning.

And just to add icing to the bad beat cake for EPICENTER, RICH STRIKE never sees the track if ETHERAL ROAD doesn't scratch.

And he "may" have scratched in part because of the 20 hole.

Went back and tried to make a case AFTER he won. Usually one can find reasons for what we overlooked. Still don't see how he did it.

But he did.

I'm thinking this is a pretty cool game we play.
