Va Derby

The fact is the owners are incredible people because 95% of owners would tell the trainer to take a shot at the $5M.

I do know this, Tagg got him for $60K and considering he will earn millions in his career, Tagg knows a hell of a lot more than me, so I am sure the rest is good for the horse.

Since you are such a stickler on facts and apologies I would think that you owe MP3 a pretty good one. He also made you look pretty silly beating you to posting the scoop when for months you have railed on about your "friend" and all the great info you have. By the way the Startegic Mission of Taggs you touted so highly, Stratonic was well beaten in a cheap maiden claimer this past weekend, in case you missed that.

Sorry about beating me to the scoop, believe it or not I have a real job. I don't obsess over a chat site like some people. He read a drf article that said he unlikely to go. Maybe I should read the drf every free minute of my time and run to post on "your" website. You see I have a job so that I will be able to buy my own horses one day.

As for Stratonic I saw the replay but didn't get back from the Mets game in time to watch it live. He looked really good, almost hung on for second. Tagg owns that horse so I was hoping he would get him a winner but he is in a maiden claimer for a reason.
