Why would I care about the other horses? It doesn't bother me that it's a weak year. Not one bit. This animal continues to impress me more and more every race. You've made it clear you don't like him. I don't really care who you do or don't like. I also don't care if it was a low Beyer. Thyere's not another 3 year old who can beat him.

Anyone that blindly bets figures will lose, period. Whether mine, Beyer, Thorograph, Sheets, whatever. But they are a pretty good starting point.

"a follower of the BSF"? Umm, Beyer's BSF is not saying BB is slow. He is saying the Preakness was run in a slow time. Anyone who was not comatose while watching the race could see that Desormeaux and BB could have gotten to the wire much faster than they did, and earned a higher BSF in doing so. Desormeaux had his eyes on the Belmont wire, not the Preakness wire.

In Beyer's column he merely said the horse hasn't beaten much yet. Hard to argue with that.

He also says the horse has yet to run a fast race. The horse hasn't even broke a 110 beyer. He appears to be a 105 beyer horse. Nothing special there.

And Casino Drive won the Peter Pan, with a great trip, getting a 99 Beyer.

Maybe you should get the beyer correct and then you can comment.

They moved it up two points. Well, that certainly makes all the difference in the world.

Out of curiousity, after Casino Drive tanks in the Belmont, will you be slinking out the back door or changing your name to Mien?
