Not as shocked as I'd be if Summer Bird wins.

I liked it more when we used to disagree on almost everything...

I would think that Summer Bird might be a good horse to use underneath in exotics, except for the fact that his jock just might pull him up 3/4 of the way through the race if it doesn't look like he'll win.....so as not to humilate him.....or something.

Or move him from 10th to 3rd down the backstretch to "get him in position."

KD has pulled that move twice in recent Grade I events. Ask Mr. Sidney and Hold Me Back how well it worked.

What's even worse, that WACKO right winger, who probably thinks we're still not in a recession, Mr PA himself, picked this crow. So, Nick, after hearing for the past two weeks how a last move closer can't win the BEL and how the blinkers on SB were going to allow him to be with the pace (or maybe steal it), he wins with a last move. How about that?

Borel would've been better served to not have taken the week off and to have spent it training with the Fatman over at Kissena velodrome. I'd work those move too soon tendencies out of him. Watching a little tape with the redneck might've helped as well.

How many people actually know what the Kissena Velodrome is ?
Maybe after practice, you could have taken him to Angelos on Main and Jewel.
