I'm just starting to read this thread - and it really feels like I'm going to be in for a treat.

And since BTW was kind enough to point out a past midnight blunder by myself last night - I will single him out for being dumb enough to take KyRim's word that Big Brown was actually "never asked to run" and "hard held through the stretch" in his under-tack preview.

KYRIM, in her wisdom, thinks she has complete deniability to say something like that because video of said workout is no longer available on the Keeneland website or anywhere else on the internet - and who around here really is going to remember the drill?

It's too bad I had notes on his work, and it's too bad TVG showed the '07 Kee April under-tack preview last year, and it's too bad I taped it and still haven't recorded over it - thus meaning I can still watch it again and make sure I wasn't tripping when I was taking notes.

BTW's point is correct - however he was wrong to take KyRim at her word on this.

I never said that. I was talking about his Gulfstream race....not his workout video. I have to pull the Keeneland preview video that the sale sends out back out because I don't remember what his workout looks like. I thought you went to the sales and got the videos? Or got the preview videos sent in the mail? I didn't even know TVG showed the Keeneland workout previews. I guess I'll have to watch them this year on TVG.

The Keeneland previews are available to me because I have a video from the sale. They give them out in DVD form. However, I have not looked at it in awhile.

Now, I'm confused about what your point is or BTW's point is...

What are ya'll's points exactly?

Please pull up the post back up in this thread where I said the things that you thought I said about his workout video.

(I'm sure they didn't because they would have been able to get him for that price). Of course, something could have come up on the X-rays. I want to see his preview again.

He wasn't ever asked to run, and he had more in the tank. Certaintly he wasn't idling along, but the jockey was holding him back down the stretch. The horse could have given him a lot more. I don't think anyone would argue with that.

You both were completely wrong. I was talking about his Gulfstream race when I said those things, not his workout video.

Notice how I said jockey instead of exercise rider. Talking about Gulfstream race...obviously...
