I'm with you. I have one foot out the door anyway, that'll be the final straw.

Could you imagine the Zenyatta crowd mixed with O'Reilly viewers? It will surely be a sign of the apocalypse.

He's probably a one-turn sprinter. I never really disputed that, his entire damside pedigree is full of sprinters.
He was in a wrestling match with Gomez. The horse wanted to be forward - and the rider wanted to take him back.

Gomez put the Boston Strangler ride on him - and steadied him repeatedly trying to take him back.

I think he has a better chance - with a rabbit to help him - in a race like the Met Mile than he does in the Derby.
