You only say that because you are unaware of the complete dogcrap that's been bred to IC for most of his stallion career.

Hell, two of the most likely to get the distance for the Derby this year are by IC.

1. Uncle Mo.
2. Premier Pegasus.







3. No idea. Since I'm biased I'll go with Anthony's Cross, or maybe Mucho Macho Man.

How does Mucho play into your bias?

Don't sell the other Indian Charlie in the SA Derby short.

After Haskin chose Zenyatta as horse of the year, I don't know that I can read him without skimming again. And it saddens me to say that.

Read the title of the thread. It's about who you think has a chance now, not what you will be betting in a month. Loosen up or have some friggen decaf.

Uncle Mo- unless he is horrible this weekend or gets hurt
Premier Pegasus- had "the move" on the turn and kept going
Jaycito- will know more after this weekend, but Baffert has been high on him all along and he surveyed the entire Churchill track.

In 48 hours, 2 of my 3 are on the shelf without even taking to the track. Be scared for Uncle Mo today.

i know, i know, i deleted it. i should not even read half this stuff. i'm always looking to win bets and i'm not that good at being a fan or fooling around( i can't understand how people argue over 4-5 shots, like zenyatta or rachel...but they do)....i'm a gambler, i take it way serious because i always look for ways to win beating the chalk which is the way you make money. then i think everyone else is a serious about trying to win as i am....when they are actually just having fun. the "fun" for me is winning bets, the hype is a distraction to me.....i should watch what i say/read here....but sometimes i forget......sorry, i'm what you would call a hardcore horseplayer...i look at every race and think how i would play it and from the history of this race i think its really foolish to count on favorites or to try and pick way ahead of time....i know its not fun but thats just me. its a whole different game when you have to win to make money. thats why i get into trouble running my mouth here at times. the talk is just talk...it does not equal live tickets. i forget every time....sorry

That is easily your best, and truest, post here.

Until that post, you, at least to me, were a much less abrasive version of TFF. Unable to understand that their are different perspectives than yours when it comes to how people approach racing, and what people get out of the sport.

To TFF, anything different from how he saw things sent him into some sort of weird raging fugue state.
