I think she's plenty more than "useful."

Not pointed at anyone in particular, just an opinionated person voicing an opinion. Though, for conversation's sake, I don't think Acoma is a much more likely winner of the Bev than Better Talk Now is of the Million.

You have to understand Brian, he has favorites and would die for some of them.

His girl Inez is 10 losses in a row away from hitting that 10% mark, and that is with Douglas being gone for a month

Based on style on the Arlington turf course, I would think she is.

This is true, guilty as charged. But that line of reasoning only works for horses who are actually my "favorites." Horses like Rhododendron, Courthouse, Happiness Is, Tidal Pool, etc.

The number of threads on all of Derby Trail in which I have typed the word "Acoma" is exactly one.

She is hardly one of my heart-based favorites. So the flip-side of that is that yes, I am capable of rational racing conversation outside of my "favorites."

You're just still mad that it turns out Peyote Patty totally could've won that dreadful Isaac Murphy, aren't you?

Stop it with Peyote Patty. While I agree I overlooked her, and she needed to be included, she wasn't beating Nicks, and you know that.

I sort of believed you before the race was run and was mostly giving you a hard time then.

After the race was run, and seeing how pitiful it was and how much of a crapshoot it was in the lane, I realized just how right I was that she would have won if she brought her "A" race.

Any decent allowance horse could have won that race on that day. Not saying she's better than Nicks or Secret Kin or Magnetic Miss, but she or any runner like her could have scored in that spot, based on how dreadful it turned out.

And also, by my most recent calculations, this is true...

...if by 10, you meant to type 98.

Maybe I'm splitting hairs...

That we agree on...

Personally I am interested in the Aga Khan's other - other filly last yr 'Katirya' if she comes over, though with any possible bet I may make, it really depends on the value and she is a pretty good horse so I am not sure if there will be any with her.

I loved her in the Prix De Opera last year. She's sort of the forgotten filly in the Aga Khan's all world 3some with Darjina and Zarkava. Amazing trio for one stable and we haven't even mentioned Mandesha yet or the filly that finished an unlucky 2nd in the HK Vase a few years ago whose name escapes me at the moment.

Thanks I remember betting Kastoria that morning, Still mad over that ride by Kinane.

ZERKERIYA,However, she operates at a very different level to her illustrious older sibling: having twice finished runner-up in Longchamp maiden races under Zarkava's regular pilot Christophe Soumillon,

Sounds familiar huh...Nicanor?

I'm just getting home from AP, I pulled into the parking lot and thought I was at the Breeders Cup
Never saw so many people there, way more crowded then last years Million crowd, people saving lawnchair seats down by the rail sucked.
