I thought you were trying to dig out, betting this horse isn't going to help that, even if he has been sitting in the hyperbaric for the last 60 days.

haha, yeah that is why Maker wins his races...the oxygen chamber.
It must have been broke down this winter...He is ONLY 20% for the year.
Big drop off from the last couple of years.

Are you saying it isn't a huge part of his program? Lets be clear I am not slamming him, I know he is your boy and I am not about to get into another thread war

a % is a %. You can make it what it is. For example. Doug O'Neil's % is all combined, all those comedy Beulah and CharlesTown wins count towards his %.

No...It is not a huge part of his program at all.

I don't get why Odysseus ran here instead of the Arkansas Derby; all this race proved is that he doesn't handle polytrack - he got nothing out of this race.

I was pulling for that dude with the pregnant wife. Sucks to be 2nd in there.

I'm not sure how anyone can like Keeneland anymore.

That track is a dart board.

On paper Stately Victor looked about as appealing as Nicky Boy would have been in the Wood Memorial.

Maybe people will start understanding what Nick Zito has been saying all along.If I had a derby horse,I wouldn't include a Keeneland race in my plans.

I have given up on Keeneland's main track. I only stick to the turf now.

On another note, it was an absolutely gorgeous day. The wife and myself had a great time. That place was absolutely packed.

Well....that's poly for ya. If you came up with that, then you are a genius.

Other than maybe a start in the Preakness.

A number of us have been questioning this for the last couple weeks. When you need 3rd place and above earnings to run a horse coming off a dirt stakes win in the Kentucky Derby, should you experiment with running him first time on synthetic against proven synthetic and turf horses.

You do if you think you are the smartest man in the world. First choice was to rest him until the derby. Those are two very odd choices. I guess my future ticket at 125-1 is a toss.

It just makes no sense.........I think the horse is very talented and I'm sorry that he won't make the Derby, but they should be penalized for making a stupid decision.
