What he did today doesn't negate his brilliant performance in the Juvy.

That said, I still feel that when the Kentucky Derby favorite doesn't debut until a fabricated stake on March 12, something's amiss.

Where was this brilliant insight before the race went off...?

Your next insightful comment on this board will be your first, so I'd pipe down if I were you.

He really has no excuses. I'm sure the Repole camp will cook something up.

But I have to admit that I was a bit suprised when JV went right to the lead. I know the fractions weren't that quick, but I just figured that he would try to get that garden stalking spot (plus get him accustomed to some tight quarters/dirt in the face). Then at the top of the stretch you figured he would just kick it in and pull away and there was still nothing. On top of that JV did that patented ridiculous look behind him move and you figured he still had some horse, but he was absolutely empty.

I'm not sure what to think. It was the only race of the day that I did see, so I have no idea about any biases and if maybe the rail was dead (not sure if they got rain in Queens last night, but I know it poured in Jersey all day). Still all that does is cook up an excuse for a horse who was only supposed to lose if the Jock fell off his back. I guess he just falls back into the category of being a good 3 year old in what looks like a very medicore 3 year old crop.

Just kidding.

I don't believe in hell.

I know the answer to IC's question, but really don't want the prize. So, well, pass?
