BTN has really evolved into quite a nice racehorse.

What an amazing resume of graded wins this guy has accumulated.

Always manages to beat me out of a score too..

Ruined my big straight double of Kitten's Joy and Ghostzapper in the '04 BC, then beat me when I had King's Drama in last year's Man O' War. Then, just for good measure, I was gonna play a Pick 4 on Preakness day using him and Artie Schiller, but at the last second, changed my mind to just include Artie. Needless to say, the other three legs hit and I missed a solid payout.

Freaking hate that horse.

Artie killed me last Preakness Day. I had an enormous straight double Artie into Pinpoint. Artie loses to Cool Conductor and Pinpoint wires them and pays $10. The double would have payed $33 and I had $200 on it. How do you think I felt?

But Artie came through for me huge on BC Day.

I've learned my Artie Schiller lesson. It's taken about five or six times of using him as a single in a race where he's the clear class, but I'm done with Artie Schiller. Good old Artie Hanger.

You dont see very many hangers win BC races. He beat a damn good field including Leroids (may not have been 100% but still ran very well) and the finest female turfer anywhere- Gorella. I can see how you can call him a hanger but to me he doesnt fit as a hanger. Hes been the brunt of 2 very horrible rides and has kept top grade 1 competition and is a BC winner.

I am with you Ateam. I hate him too. I had Balto and Request in the Sword Dancer in the Nat'l Pick 4 that included the Bev D and Arl Mil two years ago. I left him off the ticket. Cost me big time. Then in the BC Turf I did a $20 exacta with Kitten over BTN. I almost always box exactas and hardly ever leave a longshot I like out of the top position. Well, you know what happened. I hate that $%^&*&% horse.
