Prediction List

[hockey2315]

I agree with number one, number two is absolutely laughable, and the only way Zanjero can win a G1 is if he finds one with a four horse field like the mother goose or something. . .

First of all, I made that prediction before the Derby. Second, what if Street Sense retires before winning again, and Curlin wins maybe once more and does not return as a 4-year-old? Then maybe Nobiz can win some of the big fall races, and become a major player next year winning multiple Grade 1s in the handicap division. Who knows?

That wouldn't make him the best horse of the crop. That would make him a mediocre horse who needed everyone else to retire to finally get some significant wins.

True, unless he beats them before they retire, which I think can happen if Street Sense and Curlin race again.

I'm admitting that I will probably be wrong about my Nobiz prediction. But all hope is not lost.

The Albert the Great comes out again. What a bad moving horse he is, I get uncomfortable just watching him.

Bid, I agree...he looks like the 330 pound lineman who picks up a fumble and stumbles down the field...SLOWLY

[The Bid]

He looks real uncomfortable to me, makes a lot of ackward moves.

I have to say, at no time after the opening 1/4 mile did I think he would win.

I also think that he is at his best when he is able to make the lead and sort of run them into submission rather than stalk and pounce. Sometimes I get the feeling he intimidates horses, like in the Wood. It seemed like no one wanted to run near him that day. I'm totally making excuses for him, but I truly think he is at his best closer to the front, if not on the lead.
