i thought that since this is a slow time of year for racing it might be fun to revisit this thread which was (sigh) my first post on this board.
does bernardini's performance in the jim dandy, travers, and jcgc change some people's minds? of course, it doesn't change my mind at all. i still like point given over afleet alex and aptitude.

Thanks for bringing this thread back. I didn't post here much over the summer, so I didn't see this when originally posted.
If all horses are running healthy in peak form on a fast track 75degrees and sunny- I gotta take Point Given to win. I'd take Smarty to place. But 3rd- If he's fresh off the layoff, and at 100%- I'm taking Red Bullet to get in the $$$$. Fu Peg won that Derby pretty nice, but Red Bullet destoryed him 2 weeks later. In regards to Hooves last post- In the slop, you gotta put Smarty up there. He won in the slop. Not against a very good field, but he smoked those mules in the slop.

loved smarty, backed that guy all spring. gratified to see him win. also was partial to red bullet. point given seemed a throwback to days gone by.
i'll take barbaro. that horse ROLLED this spring. that's going by their actual derby efforts. smarty to place. fupeg to show. slop, fast, in between. gimme barbaro. i will forever be embarrassed that i knew, KNEW, that horse was the best in the field but i kept denying him due to the layoff alone. lesson learned. hard lesson learned, but definitely filed away for future reference.
