Vic, stop trolling....and don't pretend you aren't.
How much does Beyer pay you every time you say 94 beyer ? Is it more when you say 104 beyer speed figure ?

What is the definition of a "generational talent" exactly?

The history of the Kentucky Oaks is replete with fillies that won the race after running the table in their respective region ahead of the race.

Secret Oath certainly hasn't done anything more (and probably less in terms of speed figures and 2yo form) than horses like Lite Light, Blush with Pride, Tiffany Lass, Blushing K D, Secret Status, and Princess of Sylmar, never mind horses like Rachel Alexandra, Open Mind, Silverbulletday, Rags to Riches, Untapable, and Monomoy Girl.

Is Malathaat a generational talent?

In between his tears maybe Vic can actually respond to this post.

Andy is probably the most misunderstood person Ive ever come across. I’m sure you’d agree Freddy, as you actually know him.

The reality is, a lot of the people that “dislike” him are jealous morons that think they can do what he can do. They can’t. It’s an extremely difficult job and to maintain the level he does is just as hard. He NEVER mails it in.

All the reasons why I respect his handicapping ability. Way back in the day I reached out to Andy and asked for his help with a TVG shift I was doing that involved harness racing. He COULD NOT POSSIBLY have been more GRACIOUS and HELPFUL.

To this day we have NEVER met or spoken face to face.

But OTHER people have told him I'm a bad guy. So it must be true.

It's not.

I refuse to go there about him. I'm a man and will draw my own conclusions.

My admiration for his work ethic, love of our sport and willingness to help teach horse players will always supersede the nonsense he spews about me.

He knows NOTHING about me.

You HOSS don't exist. You're words on a page that has never done anything in this industry and never will.

You're a desperately ANGRY guy that ONLY finds solace from the demons when rejoicing in other people's human frailties and failures.

The fact that you can even think you're part of any discussion about anything between ANDY SERLING and VIC STAUFFER is a testament of just how delusional you truly are.

You're a sad bug that people wipe off their windshields.

ANDY is an accomplished respected member of our industry who has put his heart and soul into making it better.

I've dedicated the last 40 years of my life trying to do the same.

So fire away with your baseless, unfounded BS and threats.

You've never mattered before and you damn sure don't now.

Don't worry. Something terrible will happen to someone today.

There's your root. Good luck.

Dead heat between CYBERKNIFE and SMILE HAPPY.

Would LOVE to know what Andy thinks.

You?

Part of who you are is what you do. Harvey Pack got me into thoroughbred racing, mostly by making it fun with a bit of sage sprinkled in. Andy taught me how to handicap and the work that needed to be done to formulate a qualified opinion. Steve exposes me(us) to the horse racing ecosystem and all 3 have completely different ways of communicating, you just have to listen.

I only talk about horses with Andy when he wants to as it's way better talking about other stuff.

Ever wonder why WWE has so many fans? He does things for those struggling on the back stretch that you and I never hear about. No attention seeking self promoting tweets. Old school. If you can't respect that then it is you need to think about things. You have it in you.

What does this have to do with my question ? And I was blocked ( along with countless others who dared disagree with him ) years ago so I don’t read his tweets. There are plenty of tweets about him by others to read though.

It’s derby day, let’s bet some hosses and stop with this bullshit

When you swim in a cesspool don't be surprised when you inhale a Turd. Horse Racing Twitter is full of VILE people.

THIS IS WHAT JERRY BROWN OF THORO-GRAPH WROTE BEFORE YESTERDAY'S RACE.........

As we pointed out before the Arkansas Derby, Secret Oath reminds us of
Eight Belles, who also suddenly got better over the winter at Oaklawn, and
stayed at that level. But where Eight Belles was overraced, Secret Oath has
had two fewer starts coming into Louisville, and has an old-fashioned 3yo
pattern for an old-fashioned trainer—a pair of tops followed by an off race.
With five weeks rest we expect her to get right back to her top, which makes
her a very strong contender.
Note that this filly is out of a mare that ran big numbers, but not until she
was older, and her previous foals did nothing at two. If she stays sound
Secret Oath could be something special.

Be sure to add what's wrong with HIM as a human being too.

Since that's the way you wanna be's handicap horses AND LIFE!

Didn't Jerry Brown buy Twitter? Vic, she was one of the 4 most likely winners, a ten-year-old looking at the form for 2 months would have realized she was as least as likely as any filly to win. Ultimately you are splitting hairs when handicapping a race like that. Nobody in their right mind thought she was an X. I liked Kathleen the best I thought she was most likely. You are making a filly that has never run an above par G1 figure a killer she isn't. Let it go leave the great talk for Rachel who would have beat her by a pole. I actually think given the dynamics of the race Echo Zulu ran as well as Secret Oath. We don't know if EZ needs one turn to blossom or just may need more seasoning as she obviously started late. That said would you be surprised if any of the other 3 fillies won the division? Sure S.O. is the leader right now but we are just getting started.
