No kidding. He just made the comment about him being a router. I was making the comment that he was 4 for 4 at 7 furlongs and less. Is 7 furlongs not considered a sprint anymore?

Hard to like him. All out last time against nothing; and now cutting back 2F --and on that turf course -- which should **** up his footwork nicely.

Nice job of plotting out a path for this horse. Too bad the connections didn't complete the IDIOT TROIKA by keeping the Great Collapser up.

My main man agrees with me, ALL I NEED.

With the forecast for tons of rain the next few days maybe they entered thinking that it might come off?

That's right. You have a horse coming off of an extended layoff and Ryan was really looking to get him a race where he could, basically, get gutted running. 'Cause, he didn't have anything planned in the future for this horse. So, he puts the Great Collapser on the horse, who gives him a WIDE trip, wider than anything in the race, then, at the point where he cruises to the lead, the idiot on the runner up, who had sat a perfect trip to that point, decides to gun and go after MM. The Great Collapser then is stuck in no man's land and has no choice but to beat on MM to wire, just barely holding off a horse that's staggering in the lane like a ****in drunk (this is the runner up) and trying to lay all over MM. So, all in all it was probably the perfect prep for Ryan. He gets his horse beaten to death and forced to go all out in a field he's supposed to lay over.

Not saying he can't win the 5F turf sprint. I haven't looked at who's in the race but he figures to get a RIDICULOUSLY BETTER trip with Dominguez up than he got with the Great Collapser, and if there's any kind of speed in the race, a well timed move by Dominguez gets him there. (Assuming Ryan has a clue about how cutbacks work and doesn't work too much speed into him.) So ****in' what? He still got the **** beat out of him last time out. And, off that effort, he really doesn't appear to be anywhere near a contender for some of the better races.

So, yeah. Off the replay it appears that the connections had their heads up their asses in this case. See, I'm all for not senselessly abusing horses.

So Ryan is infallible and the move can't be questioned? There's a Grade II stake at Gulfstream at a mile and there was a 65k stake at 1 1/16 at Tampa last week and he shows up in a 5f sprint? You hardly have to be an aspiring trainer to see that as a pretty odd move.

If they are indeed looking for mile type races, cutting back from 7fs to 5fs for a horse's 2nd start of the year sure is an unorthodox way to do it.

The difference between me and you, BRO, is that you LOSE by listening to all these IDIOTS and I WIN by doing my own thing.

I mean, explain to me why in the world you would ever bet YOUR money on someone else's opinion? This is like the ultimate castration. Then again, EUNUCHS historically are some of funniest characters, and you certainly entertain with your comments.
