Did he like Spring at Last ?

If so I will congratulate him. I asked him his opinion of the race and he was afraid to say anything.

Not sure why.

Congrats then to him.

Funny how he liked the 5 and the 1 yesterday. Or was it a 5-1 shot. Couldnt tell from the idiots post. Either way it wasnt Spring at last. I guess he was posting different horses in different places.

[Danzig]

but he's still an idiot? you set the bar very high i guess.

Never heard of that one. But if he did really bet it then congrats. 12k is a score. Great job in all seriousness.


That being said I still think his reasoning he gave me yesterday was moronic. Just my opinion. He was wrong as BH ran better than whatever the hell he was trying to say.

It would probably help if someone translated what the hell he says on here at times.

Congrats to all who had Spring At Last definitely he was the correct trip horse today. Obviously Daheer is not as bad to be beaten by a pole at the finish. I think it's best to put a line through this performance.

I think it's a mistake to discount his performance today. We don't know how good Daaher is in two-turn races when he's facing some pace pressure. Perhaps today's race is indicative of how he'd run everytime he is faced with a scenario like today. When you say he's obviously better than we saw today, you are basing that assumption on having seen him run under totally different conditions today. Before automatically assuming it was just an off day, consider that it might not have been.

I'll second that. I singled him on my Pick 4 ticket not concerned about the distance vs that field. After today I am thinking he's a one turn miler.

That's a fair point Before automatically assuming it was just an off day, consider that it might not have been

However, since this horse has been fitted with blinkers he has shown a high cruising speed with an ability to finish off races. If those previous 3 races were true including the 2 turn effort at the Spa, it would be reasonable to suggest he shouldn't have faded like a cheap pair of jeans like he did today. It doesn't make sense. The fractions were honest but not suicidal as evidenced by Kiss The Kid hanging on for a piece. I think something wasn't right with him today, it's a gut call horseplayers have to make at times. Drawing a line through a performance.

This really takes the cake. I'm not saying he's a true 1 1/8th horse but if you think today's performance is a fair indication of Daaher's ability you are flat out wrong. Horses that have run as well as he has in the past don't pack it in the way he did unless there was a problem.

Wow, you calling me wrong. I didn't expect that at all. We'll see.

For the record, I DO think there was a problem. I think there were two of them actually.

PACE and ANOTHER TURN.

[blackthroatedwind]

Just add this to the list.

Luckily for you, I know you just post the opposite of what you know to be true just to initiate conversation.

Oh Good Christ...

Luckily for him?

For the people like myself who dont get to watch races
and live handicapping all the time, I appreciate the differing
opinions that come with these posts. But now we
enter the realm of handicapping the handicappers intentions...

jeez...

Will be interesting to see how some of these horses are placed in the future. I would like to see Daaher go and take the Mile over in Dubai. I think he has the style for it. Spring at Last doesn't belong in the DWC... maybe we will get a rematch at a mile ?
