As for Archwarrior, meh. Orb, trained by the 21st-century Shug who no longer wins with firsters, was, IMNSHO, far more impressive in his first start.

How " not so humble " is your opinion now?

That was always silly. I really think Archwarrior is the real deal if he stays together, which with TP in charge is a huge if.

About the same.

Archwarrior (out of training, though I digress) could not be reached for comment.

Even bad etiguette for internet buffoons.

I can't wait to get a refresher of your five other posts. Undoubtably at least three of them were touting Orb before yesterday's race ( I actually publicly picked him 2nd.....how about you? ).

What is your opinion of Orb now? I know yesterday you were rooting for Normandy Invasion.

Not much different than yesterday, when I picked him second. He's an improving horse, that got a great set up yesterday, but has the right trainer to keep improving. These horses race so infrequenly that it's hard to get a solid handle on them.

Like a lot of people, I like to see good trainers like Shug do well, and I hope Orb keeps winning for him. However, I'm not sure that Live Lively didn't run a better race in winning yesterday's Davona Dale. It's at least close.

He and Normandy Invasion were in different races. I joked about Normandy Invasion because we highlighted him on Trips&Traps after he finished 5th in his debut. We also showed Orb's debut on Trips&Traps.

While Orb has, um, won the Florida Derby, Archwarrior, encouragingly, remains eligible to... NW1/OT. I'm sure his name will turn up again in the work tabs any decade now.

"Undoubtably?"

Try again.

"etiguette" was good also.
