Don't tell me you're really thinking about betting Richard's Kid?

I plan on using him in my yearly super bet for 2nd/3rd/4th.....He is 'my' horse this year.

Tiago was the horse I used in the same situation last year, except I didn't use the Euros....

If Tiago goes in the Classic, I'll be using him too, can't wait to see the reactions to that

Richards Kid is in my top 4... He might crack into my pick 3 and 4 by then.

Using crazy horses is part of what make's the BC the BC. People get fixated on year-long efforts when its how the horse is holding-up for one more effort which means more, in my opinion.

Oh, I'm all about using interesting horses at a price...in fact, and I'm perfectly willing to take all the flak in the world, I plan to bet Gio Ponti in the Classic and Criticism for a piece in the F/M Turf.

I just scoffed at Richard's Kid because I feel like his day passed and while he capitalized on it, I can't see him repeating it. For 3rd or 4th, sure, he's possible, the list of horses who've run 3rd and/or 4th in the BC Classic over the years is not too sparkling.

Your a Richards Kid hater... You and Gander said this before the Goodwood...

I just think you missed the boat on him is all. I am not a hater nor did I say he was impossible. The ole dont go to the funeral when you missed the wedding spiel.

Your nuts, Gio Ponti is a major classic play.

I think you are fine with your horse racing opinion (obviously most people pick more losers than winners.. its just how the game works)

Its just the sports bets where you are a complete mush.. and I appreciate that, thanks!

There is no logic to this statement. It probably will come true though, as only 1 horse will win the Classic, and if Gio Ponti is the favorite, he has, in theory, about a 33% chance of winning the race, so he will most likely lose.

What lacks logic is saying Gio Ponti, by far the most accomplished horse who will run in the Classic has no chance, in your opinion. Or You dont think he can win. Same thing. Its an absurd thing to think, but by you saying it, at least in your mind, makes you somehow credible if he does indeed lose (which statistically speaking is the most likely scenario).

Its like me saying the Yankees wont win the World Series from the beginning of the season. Its very hard to win a worl series, much like winning a race with 14 or 15 horses. If I said they had "no chance" for the last 8 years, theoretically I would be right, but me saying it is still absurd when basically they have been the most logical winner just about every year.

Get what I am saying? You say Gip Ponti cant win, but you're willing to bet a lot of money on Richard's Kids.

From who? PETA?

I loved how his connections lambasted the Del Mar surface, saying he, among others, couldn't train on it.

Conveniently they glossed over how he couldn't train over a dirt surface nearby, either.
