As long as we still have that insane one about Gomez apparently burying Indian Blessing today.

Can you imagine if jockey's had 10% to do with the results that people seem to think they do?

Yes - tactics are meaningless in match races.

The last part is funny - you'd have me by a 400/1 margin in rides complained about

You can without me.

I DVR'd Super Troopers last week and haven't watched it yet. Now seems like the right time.

OMG!!! I just read the Grasshopper thread.

I will never forgive you for using my very sane and rational thread as your example over that nonsense.

You are dead to me.

It's hard to keep the insanity straight this evening.

Derby 48.07/113.86

Proud Spell or Indian Blessing did not have to face the trip that Pyro did. He was boxed in and for a second it looked like he had no way out. He split horses and then gained his best stride when open and started to really open up. I guess it is fashionable to trash pyro but he comes from off the pace so his numbers get tempered by the pace he is up against. I do however agree that style-wise he could run into real difficulty the first Sat in May and will need a little racing luck to get the proper trip

Well firstly, it's "Fop".. Not 'flopp'... And secondly, to quote Ulysses Everett McGill:

"I don't want Fop.. I'm a Dapper Dan man."
