I think Shackelford accidently got Flashpoints breakfast supplements. I'm at a total loss to find anything about his PP's that would indicate that he could run that type of race.

Most of the connections today remind me of a group of teenage girls obsessing over the hot guy (Jerry Brown) in school and not doing anything to embarrass themselves. Instead of asking the guy out (racing) they'll whisper to each other, giggle, and act like weirdos in the hallway (workouts, press interviews, excuses).

Stop being little girls. Race your horses. None of them are any good and they never will be if you keep them in the barn.

Was in a 32k claimer earlier in the meet at GP....and sucked it up. See him soon in one of those NY 7500 jobs. Torre must be proud.

Yes, I'm sure it's breaking Joe Torre's heart that his trainer is running his horse where he fits.

He shouldn't have been in the Derby, obviously. And Torre seems to have no problem using a doping offender...No thanks on the hooker with the heart of gold.

I was going to feign indignation that he took someone's spot in last year's Derby, but last year's Derby really, really sucked. One would think if Torre actually wanted to go to the Derby, he would have invested boatloads of his cash in a horse who actually had a chance.
