Durkin seemed like he almost wet his pants he was so excited...

Didn't Scat Daddy blow by Nobiz when they actually raced? It is possible both horses just are not that fast. The lack of progression in the beyers for Nobiz is a little troubling. Consistent mid 90's.

The two at Churchill looked like better horses. I expect that Any Given Saturday to be better than Nobiz and Tiz Wonderful.

he did go by at the end of a stiff drive. no biz in only his second start ran well while having to wait for room on the backstretch.

no that's not possible. they are both actually quite fast although No Biz is the horse that I am partial to. i have noticed progression in each of No Biz's start's.

The ones at Churchill looked okay also, but I was not as impressed. The pace and speed figures that I use tell me that Any Given Saturday is nowhere near No Biz at this point. Tiz Wonderful certainly looks good, but the fact that a horse like Any Given Saturday gave him such a test, having to work so hard to put him away, is not inspiring to me.

Take a look at the stretch run of the Remson, look how No Biz is galloping strongly with his head up and little encouragement. I'm telling you this horse has got game.

LOL.. Wow. Nobiz had every reason to lose by 5+ to Scat Daddy, and instead lost by less than a length.. And your "lack of progession in Beyers" argument is well.. hilarious. He debuted with a 96 Beyer going a mile.. They throw him into a Grade 1 in his second start, then around two turns in a G2 in his third start. He gets mid-90 figures in all three, wins two out of three with ease while still green and goofy, and you're "troubled" by his "lack of progession?"

Way to go.

I, on the other hand, am not troubled even one little bit by Revolution's lack of progression.

I would love for someone to interview Barclay Tagg and ask him if he is troubled by the lack of progression from No Biz. lol
All trainers should be so blessed as to have to deal with that type of development.

lol

never saw consistent 90's in a two year old as a problem. til now that is.

[kentuckyrosesinmay]

I'm switching to Tiz Wonderful's bandwagon. It's too bad that those two most likely won't meet up until the Derby.

[blackthroatedwind]

Tiz Wonderful looks to me like a horse who won't make the Derby. Might be a good horse though it's just hard to tell.

[Cajungator26]

Well...

I'm sticking with Scat Daddy. I like him.
