yeah, that's what I thought.

I keep seeing Mr Gold talking about taking peoples money, and offering to be the ticket window for others, however with his money on Cobalt Blue I'm fairly sure that he will be donating money, and not receiving any on derby day.

Aside from of course misconstruing my comments concerning Tiago, probably because of substandard reading skills, he is also looking forward to booking DrugS's action.

Come to think of it, it makes a LOT of sense that he likes Cobalt Blue.

Scat Daddy has one thing that makes me wonder about him. The RAN curse.
Who is going to get faster the farter they go? and if everyone tries to rate who will try and steal it? I mean what if we get a War Emblem track. Anyone that breaks worst than 4th doesn't hit the board.

btw Sam P has never delivered the goods.

it's to bad Hard Spun has been mismanaged.

I'm still looking for a long shot to key I have one in mind but won't committ until after the draw.

Believe me I'm not singing Sam P's praises. I just feel like he may be one of the better longshots in the race. He's really the only horse coming into this race with reasonable darkened form. To me he was the best horse in the SA Derby and had he won that race his odds would have been a half or even a third of what they are going to be.

On the other hand a stronger argument could probably be made that the SA Derby was a lousy race.

John,

Last I looked Hard Spun has one loss in his career. And that losing effort was a lot better than it looked. While Rick Porter may never shut up and has been meddlesome with Larry Jones' operating with the colt, he hasn't exactly been 'mismanaged'. While he would have likely won the Blue Grass had he gone, you can be assured that Jones will have him ready to run off the 6 week break. He is the most intriguing and difficult entrant to project in this Derby. The pace is certainly going to suit him, and he's the best bred horse in the field for the trip. The questions are exactly how good he is and Mario Pino.

while mismanaged might have been the wrong word John certainly has a valid point that the path (or rather lack of path) his connections have chosen is somewhat questionable...and you have been one of the most vocal about the owners decisions...why the backtracking?

Watch the replay of the Lecomte or the Lanes End and I think you can say he's pretty darned good. Winning for fun 3-4W the whole way (regardless of the competition was "really" G2 level) @ TP was particularly impressive; in the fall/winter of '06, only 4 winners came from outside the 8 hole at a mile and a sixteenth or or a mile and an eighth in 43 races (86 starters). Mario Pino is a capable rider, I have zero concern with that... my ONLY reservation is the longish layoff but Jones is a very underrated trainer and should have him ready.

Don't worry yourself, I am not one to shy away from posting picks.

Oh I eagerly await the details of your 5/5 wagering.

Nice of you to step up on the comic relief side of things, seeing that PG man has departed the scene.
thanks,

He has already defeated Level Red AND Air Commander in the same race.
Clearly he is the class of the crop.

well that clears it up then.

Maybe he saw that he defeated Street Lights, and got it confused with Street Sense.

Hey Tony Clifton, you don't mind if I call you by the name you originally used to slander people here, where exactly did I say I liked Tiago?

You know....sort of like where you said you liked Cobalt Blue.
