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.

Distance concerns aside, he's awfully gutsy, and that's hard to argue with. I think the division is awfully polarized, and he's on the top tier of the second tier... you have to admire his guts.
