Which horses

[Bernardini]

Im not sure if I name any of my pets Giacomo let alone my kid, needless to say Im not Sting either....talking about Derby 05, rabbits did him a huge favor that day and he is not a proven champion. Since, he hasnt won a race, may be once.. therefore not worthy of KY Derby. Look at Funny Cide, almost shares the same fate (only FC won a bit more)

Giacomo is worthy of the Kentucky Derby because he WON the Kentucky Derby. Nobody can take that day away from him... rat or not.

It'd be cool if Silent Name did well in the Mile... only one other Japanese bred has ever run in the Breeders Cup races. Isn't he also due to stand stud here in the US? We need some more Sunday Silence blood in this country.

2) Happy Ticket
3) Bernardini
4) Scat Daddy
5) Bernardini
6) Henny Hughes
7) Bernardini
8) Gorella
9) Bernardini
10) Oh, and Bernardini

i will be rooting for every horse in the classic that is not bernardini. as they turn for home i actually plan on yelling that...."come on everyone that is not bernardini" if he finishes off the board i will be happy as a clam.

if i could pick one horse that i would love to see win.....it would have to be perfect drift.

Why do you not like my man? Because of the sheiks?

i actually don't know what it is. i can't put my finger on it exactly.
the sheiks are part of it.
the annoying trainer is part of it.
the undeserved (imo) hype he has received is part of it.
the fact that i am a huge barbaro fan is part of it. i feel like too many people assume that bernardini would have been better than barbaro even if barbaro had stayed healthy. of course we will never know for sure.....but imo that is wrong. i think barbaro's performance in the derby was the best route race on dirt a horse not named ghostzapper has run in the last 15 years.
