little confusion, giacomo did win the derby and he also had two legs that underwent surgery. but i was referring to AA getting injured at Pimlico, and i do believe it is the dirt that is to blame there. i have an opinion just like everyone else.

Giacomo has never been quite the same hanger since that day at Pimlico. His hang in the Belmont was disappointing to say the least. Getting beat by Nolan's Cat is a disgrace at any level.

Your gonna have to explain this one, please. I'm quite interested in knowing how the dirt is to blame for Scrappy T ducking out and crashing into Afleet Alex.

uhhhh, scrappy T had bad footing and ran into AA, which is why he veered left and AA got hurt on the dirt because he also had bad footing. maybe thats a stretch, but the fact is two good three year olds ran thier last race of their career at pimlico.
and because the place is a dump, i think it should be moved to AP, where the dirt is much safer., lol.....

Do you actually believe that Scrappy T had bad footing and it wasn't because he just had take a good hit from the rider and veered into him?

I do believe Afleet Alex ran in the Belmont last year as well.

"half factual" is being generous.
First you said "thats 2 years in a row the derby winner has lost his racing career on the pimlico dirt." Wrong. Apparently you thought Afleet Alex won the Derby last year, but he did not.
Then you said "the fact is two good three year olds ran thier last race of their career at pimlico." Wrong again. Afleet Alex won the Belmont in his next race.
Get your facts straight.

OK, I had to laugh at this one. Scrappy T had a bad whippin' on the wrong side and ran into AA. But, OK, if you want to blame the dirt, go ahead.

Paul,
Some of us "get" your humor. Some don't.
You've been welcomed back.
Don't antagonize, my friend. OK?
Roll with it and let it go. It just might keep you "sane". (Whatever that is).
OK?
