Bold Ruler/Showing Up

Hes the story of this race, and will get more attention the winner. Go Between was 3rd, delighting those who used him in the trifecta!!!!!!!!

What a jealous prick. Showing up wants no part of Kip? His real jock. The longer they go the begin the winning distance. Your such a big man, right here Oracle, lets have somebody here hold the money, and I will put up any amount you want in the next head to head. Big Talker-Oracle. Your horse lost. Period. Uncontested lead and he still got blown away.

yeah, he may stay on the turf now.

and Strategic Mission, his sire, may become hot. Chester House passed a couple of years ago. that son of Mr Prospector had an abbreviated stud career after impressing on the turf. So Strategic Mission, a turf star in his own right and son of Mr Prospector, could be filling a big void now.

Kev didnt see the race live, he had a B Day party to go to and caught a few races earlier on at OTB. Kev will be better than ever and hopefully make it up to Toga the weekend of the Travers.

Nice score both for Bold Ruler on the crush WPS and Oracle on the tri. Wish I had any part of that!

That sucks, but I am sure he'll get to see the next one.

Gander,

Ran outside today for the first time in about 2 months, my knee feels better and I am ready to roll...

Yeah, the only differnce is I gave my picks out before the race and bet with my own money. LOL.

Point-

Good for you, bet you it felt good. I was running very well up until 3 weeks ago then came down with a summer flu and then my achilles started up again. I got 4 runs in this week and starting to feel very good again.

Showing Up won the race didn't he? Why is everyone gloating about Kip Deville?

I was impressed with both. BOTH horses are nice.

KD is a nice horse. Showing Up reeled him in and blew by him. KD is not in Showing Up's league. I was told Showing Up was about just as good as Barbaro on the turf, and it looks like they were right. First race on the turf and only his 5th career race. SU is the goods.

KD ran ok. It is Oracle trying to make him into something great. He ran a nice race but Showing Up was tons the better horse. Wasn't even close. They stretch out a little more in the next and the speedy KD will die again and SU will win by 7 or 8. They are not in the same league.

Where is Oracles tri? Or was it in his head but not posted again?

Exactly! Why is it so hard sometimes for people to acknowledge what should be blatantly obvious? Showing Up really showed up again and proved himself to be a budding turf star, and Kip Deville displayed devasting speed.

BTW, remember who was the original Showing Up fanatic, King o Turfway!!

Lets not forget that Showing Up is no Barbaro though. The real Showing Up fanatic is Virtue on Finalturn. He has been all over the horse forever. I love Showing Up but he isn't the second coming of Secretariat. He is clearly the best 3yr old turf horse though. He squeezed my Sweetnorthernsaint in the derby too, which didn't make me too happy.

ArlJim...you just blew your cover...KING OF TURFWAY!!!
How are things going at Bowling Green with your "study"?

I always thought you were one burger short of a "happy meal"...now you've proven it.

Agreed. I couldnt seperate the two of em now. One had a great jock and the one hole and got to sit behind a moron who went out to a 17 length lead and had to break from the 14 hole. teh fact that he still dug in to hold 2nd is blowing my mind right now. I couldnt really seperate them. But I can just about gurantee you will see a different jock on him next time!!!

Virtue is not Kingofturfway. Kingofturfway lived in KY. He suckered a Barbaro hat out of my friend. Virtue has something to do with Strategic Mission.

Strategic Mission is "the Knack". A one hit wonder. Last time I checked he had sired two winners, this horse and a horse from Puerto Rico that they were trying to peddle on the internet(I'm not kidding). Strategic Mission= My Sharona.

Showing Up is his only good horse, so I don't see that happening.

Go argue with him at finalturn. I respect the guy for sticking with him from the beginning and I wished I owned some Strategic Missions. Tagg owns and trains Stratonic out of Strategic Mission. Lets see how he runs.
