Of course, absolutely NO ONE talked about Da'Tara before the race. Wow. Even without BB, he was much above the rest - WIRING the field in the Belmont? Never saw that one coming. Even though I didn't really want BB to win the Triple Crown, this was shocking.

Man i cannot begin to say how happy i am right now!!!! i have been on here many times talking about how much i dislike the owners and trainer of this horse and feel so good right now. The holy grail is protected for one more year. And what aobut 3 chimneys??? man they have got a huge s^it sanwich and now they have a horse with a sprinter pedigree that wont run again i read the interview in the drf and now i can only imagine what the owner of that farm has to say. you know they are creamed today. Man i love the karma gods. So sweet

This can be a very humbling game, a little bit of humility goes a very long way.

You are probably right Danzig, whether it be 15 days, or once every 30 it still doesnt do anything at all

Bailey is a fairly intelligent guy and hes been around the game his entire adult life. He knows the Winstrol does nothing

Psytech, who says hes the fans choice? There are a lot of people who didnt care for Big Brown, the connections, the trainer, he was hardly a fan favorite with all the recent news on the connections. He was the betting choice, thats about it

It would do nothing to improve a horses performance outside eating. They give it because it keeps them eating, and its a mark up.

It's easier to wire a field in a 12f race than in a 6f race.

I cant wait to hear what Dutrow has to say. Maybe Iavarone should go back to being a high profile investment banker.

What a great day !!!!

Unfortunately to do that he'd have to have been one to begin with. Well I assume by "high profile" he means good and not in trouble for being naughty--that one he messed with about 15 yrs ago. I gotta give him credit, he's spun that image pretty well. It's like someone pumping his resume full of things like "Reorganization and Marketing Specialist" and they're really the stock boy at K-Mart that moves products forward on the shelf so it'll look nice and brings out the stacks of toilet paper.

I feel awful for being so giddy but I just didn't like IEAH in particular. Dutrow bugged me but I figured at least the other trainers were like 'he's a super horseman' which sort of made it seem like at least they respected his technique if not his slip ups. I'm so so soooo excited for Tiznow, Nick, and Robert LaPenta. Yay Da' Tara. Not my pick but it's karma's pick. Colonel John missed the Derby but Tiznow got his mojo back in the Belmont. You folks know what this could mean? If karma truly has its way, we might have a horse in the Derby next year with particular significance (assuming all goes well which is a monumental assumption) out of 30,000+ foals one of the 20 slots might be filled by Nicanor. You never know. A race period would be big, but in the next year or two we'll have two shots at it with full brothers of Barbaro.
