Kentucky Derby cancelled

It's both sad and funny that instead of taking this thread as an opportunity to examine the facts, which by the way speak for themselves, that this is an extrordinarily weak group of sophmores, several of the teenagers who are members here obviously don't have the intellectual capacity to have a serious discussion and instead prefer to fantasize that this crop is actually legitimate and to ridicule those who have a firm grasp on reality.

Interestingly, this is the same group of novices that don't get the irony that Funny Cide hates the cold weather.

They may suck but this is the Derby trail website and we are required by law to discuss the contenders as though they are alltime greats. Except PG, he is exempt.

"Facts" don't speak ...

"That this", as you've used it, is a dangling participle....

No wonder test scores are still down.

How do I get back my tax dollars that went to "No Child Left Behind?"

I wonder if someone made a post like this in 1973? hmmm....

While this is a pretty ridiculous thread, I often wonder if some wealthy horse owner would be interested in breeding, over several years, a group of horses with true stamina lines. There are very few races over nine furlongs for a horse like that anymore, but if you are rich you could breed for specific races.

Just a thought?

Well said.

What???? War Admiral would never make the tri in that race!

Poorly said. Your post makes no sense as something serious or as a parody. What has the poor quality of a crop got to do with placing winning bets in a 20-horse field? There's no logical connection there. If Sceretariat or War Admiral or Spectacular Bid were "wheeled out" I'm sure the original poster would be quite pleased. Go back to your scratch pad and try to develop a message that's a little more comprehensible.

Geesh, talk about making friends right off the bat...

OF COURSE this is a weak crop. That's pretty evident to anyone that watches horseracing on a regular basis. I still find it exciting to look at the contenders we DO have, though. It's not like we're going to get a new bunch of 3 year olds this year, so we might as well enjoy what we've got, make as much money as we can handicapping them and hope that next year's crop is better. JMO.

There was absolutely nothing grammatically wrong with what the previous member posted. Your crude response was inappropriate. You seem to be a big blowhard. Is that the level of discourse to be expected here? You owe the other gentleman an apology. I doubt if you paid very much in taxes. You probably received more in welfare checks and food stamps than you were ever taxed for.

1.) Welcome to the board.

2.) Don't talk to SentToStud in that manner.

3.) Do you have a problem with people who receive welfare checks and food stamps?

1. Thank you.
2. May I talk to anyone else in that manner?
3. I have a problem with blowhards who unnecessarily try to demean other members who are trying to make a valid point.

I am new to this forum, but I have to say that I agree with you for the most part. The people who have responded to you so far have not taken your premise very seriously. You placed it in a humorous context and they responded in a very sour manner acting like spoiled children instead of either agreeing with you or disagreeing in an adult way.

If this is the level of discourse to be expected here, maybe I'm in the wrong place. I suppose the same people who were so sour with you will now come crashing down on me.

The reason I agree with you is that this year's 3 year olds have not run very fast. All of the prep races have been run in slow times and none of the top contenders seem to have improved much since they were 2 year olds.

Good call Jim.
