Thanks

I didn't even bet the Arkansas Derby

didn't have a dime by the time that race was run and it's a good thing cause I would have tossed Deadly Dealer from the trifecta. that track was so speed biased it was disgusting

Well Curlin moved to the top of my list the way he finished the final furlong. Has not been really tested and doesnt have alot of experiance, but he looks to be able to get the distance with some finish. Reminds me of Showing up last year.

Didn't Showing Up get beat like 10 lengths? Is this a positive comparison?

Glass half empty vs glass half full. He was beaten 10 lengths but he was in the race at the top of the stretch and finished ahead of 14 horses.

My comparison was a horse of quality that showed up late to get alot of attention.
