The derby can't come soon enough!

Re-posting from the other thread:

I hope Pioneerof the Nile finishes 21st in the Derby.

Does John White ever stop to breathe when he is talking on the show?

[Swale84]

I guess you have to give him credit for taking a stand. It is one thing predicting a Derby winner in March, but he is going on record that the colt can win the Triple Crown.

[ddthetide]

can the west coast horses all finish in the lower half of the derby field?

Steve,

We need the Sirius radio to scroll "Pioneerof the Nile" on the display while John is talking next week.

It's starting to remind me of those "Subliminal Man" skits on Saturday Night Live:

"I'd like to make a bet"-Pioneerof the Nile -" on the Derby" -Pioneerof the Nile -"Wow, 20 horses?" -Pioneerof the Nile -"Who's giving me good odds"-Pioneerof the Nile...

All in fun buddy. Love the show.
Joe

I always heard john say "the last horse to win the derby without racing at 2 was Apollo back in 1882." I have tried to find how how many horses have actually raced in the derby without running a race at 2 years old.

I have to assume this sample size is rather small, but does anyone have the research for this?

Another Kenny Powers fan.

I have to also say that I love Steve Haskin's sarcasm during yesterdays show. He made numerous comments poking fun at John White's love of POTN.

I would still like someone to answer me on how the heck POTN does not get a strike in his system for never running on dirt?????

Also here is another strike for POTN...no horse have ever won the Derby that has a name that has 4 words...(Pioneer of the Nile)...not even since Apollo in 1882...lol

[pmacdaddy]

It's a bit like beastiality without the penetration...

I do really like him on the show POTN obsession aside.

It's not one of the 10 factors for a strike. Steve Haskins does poke a little fun at John and I'm sure it's in the spirit of fun, however have you notice Steve Haskins nevers commits to his pick for any race anywhere anytime. At least Jon will speak his choice state why and stand by it.
and i've said i think he's right and we might see a west coast triple in derby. just my opinion. good-luck to you on derby day

I am just having some fun as well, It is one thing to make a pick, state why and stand by it. It is another thing to somehow bring your pick into every conversation. I can listen to Jon talk all day long, but when you here the same thing over and over it gets to the point where it is painful. Kinda like the guy that screams "Go in the Hole" after every Tiger shot...it gets old. We all know John likes POTN, like I said there will be possibly 19 other horses that can be discussed.
For me I would like to see a Triple Crown, I was too young to remember Affirmed and it looks like this years crop is fairly decent. After listening to all the talk, I feel if you like POTN, you may also want to throw in Hold Me Back in as well. For me, I am sticking with Desert Party.
What are the 10 strike factors and how exactly is a not running on dirt not one of them? I think I was mistaken with POTN's name, it looks like Pioneer and "of" are all one word...

The 10 factors are posted on xpress-bet under Jon's column, you do not have to be a member to view.

just heard his interview on tuesday...... wow he lays it on thick. To put it lightly he is very pround of his handicap abilities and thinks the world of his 3 strike system. after all he did call 1 of the 2 last triple crown winners, i fear the day steve has him back if pioneer of the nile takes down the kentucky derby..... brocco eh? tooooo much
