Derby futures

[The Bid]

Then maybe you don't know what you are looking at either. I do not mean that to be nasty but he has zero shot to factor or hit the board. Absolutely none

Duly noted. I'll be eagerly awaiting your selections soon, I have no idea what I'm talking about nor what I'm looking at.

[The Bid]

Bashing a G1 winner who cant run past a mile, whos never won past 7/8ths of a mile. Who has absolutely no punch in the stretch against mules. Save your money, see if you can find an English bookmaker that will let you bet him as last 4 to finish. That is where he will finish.

If you bet that horse you do not have any idea at all what you are watching. Not that I ever thought you had any idea, but that will pretty much seal the deal. The eternal moosh, betting a hopeless plug, going a mile and a quarter when he cant even run a mile against mediocre horses.

You and Rich Perloff on TVG maybe the two sharpest MF to ever breath.

[The Bid]

I could careless what you think. You don't know what you are talking about, nor what you are looking at.

Joe, you could learn a lot from the Bid. I'd recommend you rethink putting him on ignore and maybe listening a little more to why he's right.

And again... making selections 3 weeks before the race is run is probably a bad idea. I thought you were over that??

[The Bid]

Phil I appreciate that

Hes the guy that boxes 5 in an exacta and still misses. 7 horse field.

Not to mention with Dublin hes been ran in all the preps, hasn't won any. In fact, hasn't won since he was a juvy! Makes perfect sense to bet him in Derby. 20-1 IMO is a short price on him. He should be 60-1 at post and I still wouldnt use him in anything because hes a hopeless puke

[The Bid]

You cash more mythical wagers than anybody I have ever seen.

You have more money on horses you hate than any MF I have watched in here. You bashed VJ balls about Stately Victor, yet he wins and pays 80 and you have 10 accross on him. Then you hafta back peddle like Kenny Lofton because you look like a moron of epic proportions

Its too bad you don't bet exactas. I would follow you from track to track. Im sure your money shakes the board

[jimmy the T]

where is the ignore button on here?

[Scav]

I am pretty shocked that Dublin is still even running, let alone make the Derby.

[The Bid]

That horse isn't even on a ****** like yours radar without Vol Jack. Thats the point. You put yourself in a position that if the horse loses you jump jack and bash him,if it wins you loved him.

Seriously though, why Dublin? D. Wayne hasn't won a stakes race with a 3YO in like 8 years. Why not, say, Super Saver- who will be the same price, and has a win over the track, beat Dublin on the square, and a better chance to move up on Derby Day?

And again, while discussing contenders early especially in the Derby is important, don't lock yourself in 3 weeks out. Go back and watch every race. Digest the results and think about what really should happen. Formulate a way how each horse could potentially win. Step back and evaluate the prices at which these horses will be versus the way you decide each could potentially win. Remember the other day when you were supremely confident in Warrior's Reward? You gave a situation how and why he was going to win, at a bonus mutuel. Just because you bet Dublin in the Ark Derby doesn't mean you need to bet him again in the Ky Derby.

Hush on Super Saver, although he should have cruised past that horse on Saturday, and he didn't gallop out that strong.

I am not sure what to think about the race.

Phil, the Bid may sometimes have something to say, but he didn't say it well in this thread.

IMO saying "zero shot" is being clueless. I know The Bid is not clueless, but that post is.

I'm sure The Bid would not want to give me 50-1 on Dublin hitting the board. If he does, we can work something out so that he can make his no-risk 2% profit.

[slotdirt]

Not to be nasty, but am I the only person who thought The Bid was a chick? I always get that poster and Linny confused for some reason.

Anywho, all of the nonsense from this weekend and last, and I keep coming back to Endorsement as a live horse on May 1.

[The Bid]

Dunbar

give me even money he hits the board. I'll give you top 4 slots. You pay double if he runs last 4 slots.

Theoretically they all have a shot it's a horserace. That said he'll be a total non factor when they turn for home. Be moonwalking like Michael Jackson (god rest his soul)

Endorsement, live

All I'm on record for with Dublin is that he didn't get the ideal setup in the Arkansas Derby. I also thought that Noble's Promise got a worse trip than he did in that race.

To say that a horse couldn't close in race that didn't come back does not necessarily imply that he gets it done with a better trip. All it tells you is that he's just not good enough to run against the grain. And that he, like many others, needs 'help' to win. I don't typically play horses like this, as I focus on those that have demonstrated that they can do something positive in a setup that goes against them.

Could he be there in the Derby? Maybe. It could turn out that he gets the absolutely perfect setup -- it could be a layered race and he just happens to make the last run.

In other words, I don't want this horse. I never thought much of him and betting him would be throwing money away. I'd rather bet Rule, who is a proven 'fighter' in a race that is sure to be full of speed than to roll the dice that Dublin is able to get that once in a lifetime setup. Then again, Vale of York got such a trip in the Juvenile, so anything is possible.
