I don't think Summer Turd will help the price of QR.

LOL I agree he is more Turd then horse, but Serling was talking him up a bit the other day. Whoever he likes get's bet.

I like Summer Bird a lot. He really is a great looking colt. I thought his Haskell was way better then it looked. He will love the added distance and he really had zero chance in the Haskell with the race dynamics, not too mention Rachel. I want no part of Quality Road who will be looking to get 1 1/4 off a sizzling 6.5f.. These aren't the odd days when Pletcher's just ran off the screen, I would expect him to be a bit to keen early and fading late. This doesn't mean Quality Road suck just that it will be hard for him to peak in Travers.

How was his Haskel better than it looked? He's pushed around the track by Kent and is only able to clear the distance challenged Munnings late stretch. What dynamics? He had ZERO shot to win the race and ran where he should've, 2nd. He's supposed to be 2nd by default in that race. And, unless he does a disappearing act on the rail at the key point of the Travers, in others words, doesn't run when ALL the others are running, and is then able to last move them, he has ZERO shot. The Travers might just be the best race of the year for me. 1st I'll get to see the FAST QR punk out (unless the old Pletcher juice is restocked) and then, I'll get to see this plug, SB, get his punk ass kicked real good. It'll be a fine day in the BEYER FREE part of the handicapping world.

Any time a horse does something well that they aren't comfortable doing it speaks to talent level. Summer Bird was forced into running a way that could never suit he style heb=nce his Haskell was a nice effort.

So if I'm 5K runner and I'm running 5K against a 400M sprinter and I foolishly go out there early with him BUT because he can't even get a mile, I outlast him to the wire, as he basically collapses, YET he's able to stay with me until 4.85K, I'm to be applauded for a fine effort? (Oh, and the rest of the field consists of 8 month pregnant 100M sprinters --- which is an apt analogy for the rest of the Haskel field.)


Surely you're kidding.

At least you're an advocate, it appears, of that very quickly growing new horse psychology handicapping methodology. The is were we try to guess whether a horse is 'comfortable' during the running of the race. I get a full dose of this BS from Donovan daily. Which provides my daily requirement of LAUGHING MY ASS OFF.

You want a real laugh ? Click on The Fatman's twitter page. It's him whining to himself about polytrack. The guy is clearly losing a ton of money at the track...as well as losing his mind.

In a 4 page thread of racing opinions, it's no surprise you don't have one... but the least you could do is use an ounce of reading comprehension for your critical attacks... it's too early to be drinking
TFM is FOR poly , not against
yesterday there was a $17 horse that was available for the woodbine cappers that fat man happened to nail. duh.
