and fortunately the next snide post from the coach won't take nearly as long.

Are the questions somehow less cogent if offered in regular type? Not that this particular one could have been " less cogent. "

I heard they were pointing him toward the 2010 BCC.
What do you guys think a Commentator-DoC exacta will pay in that race?
My guess is $27.80.

but with casino drive in '10, making his seventh start, i think commentator would get a run for his money...

This is just plain silly on two fronts. First of all, the BC next year will be Casino Drive's fourth career start. Second, because of his breeding, he's a lock for the Dirt Marathon. Why would they go for back to back Classic wins? Yes, I'm already counting this year as a win.

If he ran to his breeding (Mineshaft), he wouldn't even show up at Santa Anita.

I'm not even sure that we can say "he's better than smooth air"

borel sure did some nice work with this guy though. He put a couple nice works into DoC pre-derby, then he gave him a "Street Sense Jr." ride in the derby. You had to be tremendously thrilled with borel after that high quality job he did. One of the best jobs of building form on a horse that a jockey probably did for a stakes horse in 2008. Not sure why his management rewarded Borel with losing the mount?

come to think of it DoC has had kind of haphazard management whether it was his owner or the trainer...

He could still turn out to be one of those colts who improves when he gets a little stronger or gets a move-up trainer and becomes a legit grade 2 older horse.
