So Kingie... I know you do the love / hate thing at times.
Was wondering your feelings on the day...

Hard to knock a horse who's never finished worse than 2nd and has a G1 in the resume

I first started following racing in the Smarty era.
I've learned a lot from different people, a few of them here, but back in those days? The person who taught me THE (wow I feel like TFM doing that  ) most was King. I didn't know anything about anything and he'd explain stuff in his long winded way. He did explain things though, to a silly new fan on an internet forum when he didn't have to waste his time... he always went out of his way for me and others who showed enthusiasm and who wanted to understand the game better. Sometimes i want to smack him, sometimes he's dead on but for the record just wanna say that i was honestly asking him for his opinion here and wasn't bumping this up for any other reason. He's continually pointed out to me I'm far too sentimental but he knows I think he gives up on some runners too easily.Ultimately, as friends, we end up balancing each other out. As far as the Stardom Bound line... I probably made a similar prediction somewhere...  I know I've made worse ones anyway... Beautiful win by Rail Trip today. Like him, didn't think he'd do it here... congrats to anyone who had him.

he outran my expectations of him today.
It was a horrid Gold Cup. Rail Trip got an easy lead trip while clear of the runaway false pace. However, he made it through the distance. When i first saw Rail Trip my opinion was that it was a horse Valdivia had been getting on in the morning, conditioning it to certain things, good speed, but he'd probably quit against any kind of pace or distance. good for him. Now he's on the vulture list

 Wasn't there a board consensus that he was a MILER? Don't tell me someone is rocking the boat.

I applaud the people who post picks every day. Some though, some just don't and they're not gonna come on here and redboard. Just saying congrats to anyone if they did have him. Relax.

Sometimes I read your posts and wonder if maybe someone needs a XANAX but it's probably just me.

Dear KG.
You may be able to understand race dynamics, but you have no clue as to the horse itself. Rail Trip kicked your butt today after you ONCE AGAIN deserted a horse for losing. I could not stop laughing.
