I Want Revenge Scratched

And Rachel Alexandra .. who I thought was more impressing running the same track and distance on the day of FF's clear cut best lifetime race ... she put on a total exhibition yesterday that really makes it look even more like it's no shame to be slightly less impressive than her at your best.

I'm still betting against him ... and don't trust FF .. but he looks WAY more attractive now.

it doesn't change the fact he's been off seven weeks, and no races past 1 1/16th...but several horses now step up and look better than they did before the defections.

I think he does deserve to be the favorite now.

Hard Spun was off six weeks for the same trainer.

I'd consider betting a horse like West Side Bernie ... but the problem is there's no pace for him.

yeah, but i think hard spun was a better horse-do you think lack of racing at 9f is a factor at all for FF?

the only knock i had against barbaro was the five week layoff-he handled that just fine. so maybe i'm just looking for reasons not to like friesan fire.

hell, it's wide open. i even conceded a few days ago that dunkirk belongs-considering the horses now in the gate.

Shiek Mo must be relieved...he didn't have to buy off his competition, at this rate they are practically handing the Derby to him.
