so much for me to respond to but i will only take the time to respond to you.




what the does discreet cat have to do with me liking Time Squared ? As for him being even money, was it ridiculous before the race ? i dont think so, alot of ppl thought discreet cat would win, not just me, and i did lose alot on him, i truly belive even money was value on a horse who is normally 3-5, but again what does any of that have to do with me saying i like Time Squared ? I do like him i will be betting him win and place, and playing a pick 4 using him and the 2 favorites in the bluegrass, but once again what does any of what you said have to do with this thread about Time Squared?

another tidbit for those that are going to put Time Squared on top in the Blue Grass. He wasn't even the fastest maiden winner at Kee last week.

There were two MSW's ran at Keeneland last Friday at 1 1/16 miles.

The first was won by Time Squared in 1:45.68

The second one was won by True Competitor in 1:43.96

I don't know why the True Competitor connections are not planning to run in the Gr1 Blue Grass.

it has alot to do with it. i think you make your choices without common sense analyisis. i guess i'm a different kind of handicapper. its not that you liked discreet cat , its how you bet. for one if i'm going to take 1-1 on ANY horse , he better of been running recently and been the distance. secondly, even if i do favor a horse like that i'm not going to "unload" on it. i'll give you credit if time squared does somehow win you will get a great return, no doubt. i noticed you have also been on the nobiz bandwagon too. again its one of the most obvious picks (like DC was) therefore the price will be short. do you know the difference between an overlay and a underlay ? like i said to you before its fine to be a fan of a horse, i have posters of funnycide but i wouldn't bet him with your money. i take it your young just by the way you post. its not just the horse you like, but if every one else like him too. when risking your cash and putting it on the line one should consider the value of that risk or if the horse even has any shot of winning at all. at least your not playing follow the leader with this time squared choice, so i'll eat crow if he actually wins but i highly doubt it.

I saw the Time Squared maiden win...imo he ran very green in the stretch...the horse may have some talent and while at this time of the year 3yo's can move forward dramatically from one race to the next...it still would be a huge jump forward for him to be a winner in the Blue Grass
