Bodemeister wins if Trinniberg isn't entered. True?

By open lengths.

Probably a five or six length victory under very minimal urging -- and most likely wrapped up with Smith celebrating with a fist pump well before the finish line -- if Trinniberg doesn't run.

Dominguez was always commited to rating Hansen -- just like he was commited to rating Get Stormy in the Little Mike race.

In my humble opinion, I totally agree. Bodemeister ran a "hole in the wind" and I still cannot believe that he was anywhere near the leaders at the finish. What a horse !! And what a masterful job of training by BB. No bounce in his performance......

i thought that creative cause made a big move going into turn 4(nascar talk)

[pmayjr]

I had Creative Cause... he was so wide. My win $ was on him... No way he gets to the top 2... but he flattened in the stretch because of that wide move too. Maybe coulda gotten 3rd?

It's a shame how it all played out.. Bodemesiter ran too well to lose.. But, the Parboo's got their Derby "experience" and that's all that really matters..

No. Absolutely not. He did it all on his own. I explained it in my last post. It was meaningless.

There were a lot of total non-efforts from a lot of horses yesterday. Very few legitimate horses from the spring even put in a hint of a run.

I don't know man, Eskenderaya and I Want Revenge would have been pretty live.

I think the winner of the Wood last year got hurt as well.

Keep in mind that Gemologist had his hands full with the likes of Alpha, which didn't really bode well for his chances yesterday.

It is simply a way for me to ride the trend and eliminate a few lower odds horses. When I get beat I will start including them. Some may think it is absurd but thats fine.

That's fine, but the three previous winners were all injured.

Gemologist, while possible, seemed up against it. Tale of Ekati and Slobiz were hopeless.

Yeah, but truthfully haven't people been saying that about the California contingents the last few years?

For me that changed when they went back to dirt...

No it didn't, you claimed but 2 months ago that the California races/horses were "completely irrelevant" to the triple crown?

Now your saying since they switched to dirt you think they are relevant, which happened long before the San Vincente.

Dude.... Really????? This game is fluid if you know what I mean. Anyone that forms an opinion 2 months back and sticks to that opinion when subsequent events dictate otherwise is pretty much an idiot.... That was my opinion for that period of time. I am a lot of things but an idiot is not one of them. Do you form an opinion and stick to it regardless of what subsequent races show you?
