Anybody that seriously thinks Pink Viper has a major future on the TC trail needs to get a tune up. There were THREE crazy rides in that race....on the second, third and fourth finishers....and only Arroyo seemed on the ball. I'm genuinely happy for Outofthebox but let's keep a little perspective. I know this is the internet, the land of no accountability, but this was not a stellar bunch ( though No Reply MAY turn out OK ) and the winner may well have been fourth best.

I'm still chuckling that the Jimmy Bond horse ( who someone here claimed was taking Bond to the Derby ) was 5-2. Stuff like that keeps me going.

Unless Pedersen and Amonte get involved. Then it will at least be entertaining.

The field may not have been very good, but they were good enough for YOU to say that Pink Viper was "obviously overmatched" by the rest of them before the race.

Yes, the field is even worse than I suspected. How about the guy that offered 2 million for johanesburg Star, you think he's breathing a sigh of relief that those connections were too stupid to take his money?
