Uhh, yeah. Dumbest quote ever perhaps?

I can't ridicule him for that comment. People say stupid s.hit all of the time, yet most of them don't pocket at least 45k in the span of two minutes. I'd probably compare him to Man O' War in a thick Irish accent if that happened to me.

Oh, yeah, I guess I should have read his quoting of my post. That's much better.

It makes me wonder.

Does Zito not yet realize the importance of the easy lead for this horse?

By easy lead I mean either uncontested or going against cheap speed w/o going too fast.

It is stunning to think that he still hasn't put it all together yet with this horse!

Its amazing Zito has spent the last 2 years trying to turn him into a sprinter.

How many Distorted Humors are there sprinting?

Had he run in the Whitney the last 2 years he would have got his head handed to him. He won because the race was fairly pathetic and he had an ideal trip. How often does that happen?

You might want to rethink that for a second Chuck.....who set the pace in the 2007 Whitney and where did he finish?

No one was beating Lawyer Ron last year.
I mean lets be realistic here. The 2 Whitneys Commentator won were on a very speed biased track with a brilliant ride and this years softball version with a soft pace. He is not a horse that can win these kinds of races without the exact right trip.

Commentator v. Lawyer Ron? I think Commentator when "right" is pretty f'n good... at a 1 1/8, I'd take him v. any horse I've seen since Ghostzapper...

I'm sure he understands that. Does he have some power to tell the other horses in the race to let him go? It makes me wonder how gullible you are if you believe that everything quoted in the paper is actually what was said and/or was said for what reason.

That's ok. You are someone I put no merit to.

That is funny though, in a way, since most people would say I'm cynical and I have an implicit distrust of the media.

People say silly things from time to time... big deal... why is it the DRF's fault for printing it? Maybe it was taken out of context.. I doubt it.
