Hard to be more impressive than Gio Ponti was winning the Man O' War.

I never profess to be a pro capper.Mostly because I am to lazy to do the work not because it is so difficult to do well if I committed myself to the regiment. I spend enough time speaking with people who do it for a living that I know the difference between a sharp wanna be, and a true professional.

I know you miss a good part of the game..Trust me you expose yourself plenty. When you do we all recognize it and have a good laugh. If you were half as good as you think you wouldn't be so close minded from embracing the parts of the game which continue to escape you..

BTW never mess with CJ what he does you can only hope to do. CJ is an innovator not a wanna be

Really? Do I expose myself as much as some of the in-the-know types here? And I certainly have a very good laugh as some of the **** they offer. You included, of course, When was the last time you had an opinion?
I got a good laugh out of Rail Trip being a MILER, for example. Or Imperial Council being a Derby horse. etc.

I don't mess with CJ. CJ is the preeminent pace handicapper presently. I respect his opinion more that anyone's on this board (excluding trips, of course). In my own way, I'm also very good at pace. I'm certainly much better at it than those not at CJ's level. I 'probe' CJ, to see how what I do fits in with his stuff. And, like it or not, I'm a better trip handicapper than CJ, AND, just about everyone else here or on any other board. I know that sucks, BRO, that I can just look at a race and have a strong opinion, while all you other ****ers are using SOMEONE ELSE'S figures and statistics, and all the other bs. You just have to deal with it.

P.S. you're getting fixated on me like all the other ****ers that I have on ignore. I know you want attention but sooner or later offer an opinion.

I watched the race and saw his trip. I also know the competition he was in against. He destroyed that field, much more dominant than the margin of victory indicates.

For the record, I haven't done the figs yet.

I agree, 100%. He showed another dimension yesterday.

Wide all the way around, uncovered, and still finishing like that has to make Gio Ponti the most impressive horse of the day IMO.

I agree with everyone regarding Gio Ponti, there are not too many horses that can overcome that type of trip and still win rather comfortably, the only blemish if one were to be picky is the quality of horses he beat. The second and third place finishers have a penchant of not winning races recently excluding the Italian Derby. No disrespect, but that isn't a key race from my perspective.
