Not true. I am but one among the legion of Scuds fans.

Damn it,Stud.I thought sure you were gun give me 100-1..LOL....

He's probably holding out for 70/1 as well.

Now, why would you worry about the price of something you think can't happen? I am only looking for 100-1 because he could start limping soon as I make the bet.I'm not sure he will stay healthy enough to make the race,and I probably can't get Solis off him.Anybody with Alex Solis on them in the Derby is deserving of 100-1 right? He will get him stuck,and somebody will ride theirs perfectly. For this idiot to actually win a derby,I do think 100-1 (right now) is about right.The guy gets virgin tight in this race.It's been a disaster from Snowchief on in to now.Gunna take an overwhelming effort to overcome this idiot being up.Can't we all agree on this? The horse is badly handicapped.Chantal would probably have a better shot.

Here's what Haskins has to say about Yankee Bravo:


"Yankee Bravo, making his dirt debut, ran well enough late to get third, which will keep him firmly entrenched on the Derby trail. Still lightly raced with only four starts, and with a big closing kick, he is not one to be taken lightly."

I thought that would make you feel better. Do you feel insulted because you have a similar opinion as Haskins?

Oh really.We are going out of our way to go after this guy? Well,lets watch the race at Anita on Dec 29th,race 8. Now,please tell me(if this guy can ride) then why has he got this horse in such an awful position? Bravo bails him out.That doesn't mean it was a good ride.Means he made up for the handicap of having this fool ride him.

What about the premature move Feb 13th in race 8(on Street Boss.)This is a horse who is accustomed to making the lead mid stretch or later,and he asks him to protect the lead after making the lead on the turn.Meanwhile,Bejarano has the strength to control his horse nicely,and simply feasted on this guy's poor decision.

That makes another member here with a poor opinion.

You sound like a fine gentleman from Joisey I know, he and his family owned a horse that ran a fairly competitve 2nd to Holy Bull in the Haskell.

Anyway, whenever I tell him a horse he thinks is really clever has no shot or is impossible - I always get the macho tough talk, followed by him asking for odds on a prop that is out of touch with reality from a fair market price standpoint.

I personally think Yankee Bravo has a less than 1% chance of winning the Derby. However, I would have said the same thing with horses like Charismatic (off of a 3rd place finish in the El Camino Real Derby) or War Emblem (off of a 5th place finish in either the Risen Star or Lousianna Derby) at or around 8 weeks remaining the years they won the Derby.

However, I can assure you both Charismatic and War Emblem were triple digit odds at any vegas future book.

Yankee Bravo closed at 41/1 in the pool 2 futures - and he's between 30/1 and 50/1 in Vegas future books.

Even though I think he's less than 1% to win the Derby, I want no part of risking 4K worth of liability to win a measly $40... even from you!...or guys like my Joisey friend.

However, if you want action that badly, you can always PM me and perhaps we could hammer out a price more in line with what a horse like Yankee Bravo might trade at in a betting exchange market.

As for Steve Crist being a big mouth - both he and his wife beat me at putt-putt and neither gloated about there victory. He didn't exactly strike me as a big talker.

I thought Steve finished last?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

He beat me....though only because you guys counted penalty strokes.

LOL-Well maybe you should stop bullshitting about the chances you think horses have at winning.You told me a horse stinks.You told this guy that a horse has no shot, or is impossible .That's a pretty strong statement,and it's also a macho lie of some sort,because you aren't ready to back the statement up by taking a bet unless it's at some fair market price. You wouldn't be that concerned about price if you really believed these lies you're telling.Why are you blaming others when you are the one understating the chances you think a horse actually has to win?If you think a horse stinks,has no shot,or is impossible ,then people are naturally going to want to bet you.The problem is you lie about the chances you think horses have.That's on you.Don't say it if you don't really believe it.

[blackthroatedwind]

I think there's a 50% chance that DrugS ignores that post, a 40% chance he makes mincemeat of you and a 10% chance he admits he was wrong and apologizes.

Were you saving this one all night?

So, you are saying that I think Yankee Bravo has a big shot in the Derby, but I am lying to you and saying he doesn't?

Brilliant stuff.
