I wonder why they even bother to run the races...all they need to do is to have you put together (in advance) the results charts and a whole lot of effort can be saved...

In this case he is right.

Certainly gutty in the FOY.

I'll add to the above - who knows this year. I'm as confused as ever trying to look at the Derby.

It took me until seeing "The Works" last year on TVG to jump on the Barbaro bandwagon, so there no rush. But still looks like some sort of puzzle May 5th.

Do we really need to jump on and criticize EVERY single thing this kid posts? Even I am starting to get tired of it.
Saying that he sees a "Keyed Entry like performance" from Stormello in the Derby sounds reasonable to me. The horse simply doesn't belong in a G1 race at 10f.

Nope, I like to save my selective outrage for the really juicy ones

I have no idea anymore. I don't know how to handicap and i'm really sick of figuring out which trainer has the magic fairy dust. It's tiresome and isn't fun.

I'm counting the days until opening week of the NFL. At least i've got a fighting chance with that.

What pisses me off about this Currin guy is that he totally messed this horse up. This horse WANTED to rate early on, he wasn't a speed ball, then he trains the horse to GO to the front, and now he wants him to rate again. He won that graded races from the back (about 5-7 lengths back and made a great run)

I was going to play the horse hard in the Derby, and still might, but I have zero confidence in Currin, but Stormello has some heart and could last the 10 panels.....

I dont think he can win going 1 1/4 in top company regardless of style of running

There have been wire to wire winners of the Derby (ie Spendabuck)...there have been quite few horses that have won the derby that lot's of people said beforehand could not...that is why they run the race instead of just taking some peoples word for what the results will be.
