I have a whole host of goods I would like to sell the people who bought Teuflesburg as a Derby prospect. It happens he's a nice horse and if led in a more realistic direction could do very well. However, he just won his last meaningful race going two turns in all likelihood.

Just read somewhere that Teufels got a 9 and hard spun got a 6 rags number for their last race.

I am simply amazed at the amount of money people will pay for overrated horses who realistically have no chance of winning the Kentucky Derby. Like the topic of the original post, JS is an ok horse who might have a racing future but he is not a Triple Crown prospect. Same with Teuflesburg. Might do some nice things down the road but a Classic contender?

What makes businessmen successful, is their willingness to take risks. One that doesn't, and works 8-5 in safety, he's rarely as successful as his counterpart. Very rarely. What I find more amazing is given the winners of ....say, the last five years' Derbys, and other Classics, given the exception of Barbaro. Who would've thought, and apparently very few, that War Emblem had a remote shot, same goes for Funnycide. These horses outrun their pedigree time and time again, year after year. Smarty Jones was fast, Tuefsbg fast, why should I think that Tuefsbg can't pull off the win. I can't come to that conclusion at this point. I think its futile to make such comments this early. This is something that worries me about messageboards, one concludes it, others swear to it. Too early.
