Joe, you could learn a lot from the Bid. I'd recommend you rethink putting him on ignore and maybe listening a little more to why he's right.

And again... making selections 3 weeks before the race is run is probably a bad idea. I thought you were over that??

Phil I appreciate that

Hes the guy that boxes 5 in an exacta and still misses. 7 horse field.

Not to mention with Dublin hes been ran in all the preps, hasn't won any. In fact, hasn't won since he was a juvy! Makes perfect sense to bet him in Derby. 20-1 IMO is a short price on him. He should be 60-1 at post and I still wouldnt use him in anything because hes a hopeless puke

You cash more mythical wagers than anybody I have ever seen.

You have more money on horses you hate than any MF I have watched in here. You bashed VJ balls about Stately Victor, yet he wins and pays 80 and you have 10 accross on him. Then you hafta back peddle like Kenny Lofton because you look like a moron of epic proportions

Its too bad you don't bet exactas. I would follow you from track to track. Im sure your money shakes the board

I am pretty shocked that Dublin is still even running, let alone make the Derby.

That horse isn't even on a ****** like yours radar without Vol Jack. Thats the point. You put yourself in a position that if the horse loses you jump jack and bash him,if it wins you loved him.

Scav he wont win a race of merit as an older horse. I doubt he ever wins another graded stake, and he will never win a graded stake 1000000 percent past 7/8ths. That includes G3

Seriously though, why Dublin? D. Wayne hasn't won a stakes race with a 3YO in like 8 years. Why not, say, Super Saver- who will be the same price, and has a win over the track, beat Dublin on the square, and a better chance to move up on Derby Day?

And again, while discussing contenders early especially in the Derby is important, don't lock yourself in 3 weeks out. Go back and watch every race. Digest the results and think about what really should happen. Formulate a way how each horse could potentially win. Step back and evaluate the prices at which these horses will be versus the way you decide each could potentially win. Remember the other day when you were supremely confident in Warrior's Reward? You gave a situation how and why he was going to win, at a bonus mutuel. Just because you bet Dublin in the Ark Derby doesn't mean you need to bet him again in the Ky Derby.

Hush on Super Saver, although he should have cruised past that horse on Saturday, and he didn't gallop out that strong.

I am not sure what to think about the race.

It was a strong performance from the winner, but a huge jump up. He'll go backwards in the Derby. I haven't watched the gallop out yet although that doesn't mean a whole lot to me usually (unless they look like they're going to fall apart.)

I don't think Super Saver is even good by any means. All I'm offering is a viable alternative to Dublin at roughly the same price to make PG think about his selections more.

Phil, the Bid may sometimes have something to say, but he didn't say it well in this thread.

IMO saying "zero shot" is being clueless. I know The Bid is not clueless, but that post is.

I'm sure The Bid would not want to give me 50-1 on Dublin hitting the board. If he does, we can work something out so that he can make his no-risk 2% profit.

Not to be nasty, but am I the only person who thought The Bid was a chick? I always get that poster and Linny confused for some reason.

Anywho, all of the nonsense from this weekend and last, and I keep coming back to Endorsement as a live horse on May 1.

give me even money he hits the board. I'll give you top 4 slots. You pay double if he runs last 4 slots.

Theoretically they all have a shot it's a horserace. That said he'll be a total non factor when they turn for home. Be moonwalking like Michael Jackson (god rest his soul)

Endorsement, live
