I think the winter is getting to some people....I'm applying Prozac to this thread.

And I'm the tard.

Actually, I do have a pretty good idea. He was rank going into the turn.

That should be a pretty good clue.

Maybe the fact that after he was pulled up he jumped two rails and dumped Chavez might also be a clue.

It seemed pretty likely the horse is okay dude, so go take your meds and hopefully you'll feel better.

Perhaps my comment about him running huge was more about those ridiculous expectations and hype than it was about him being hurt.

Or maybe it was the comments made on TVG how he was acting perfectly and looked the picture of health, etc.

You're a tard.

Sharp post. Especially clever how you manage to redboard the "expectations and hype" as absurd. Good call there, notwithstanding the timing.

Inside Post said 85 will need stitches, but walked back to the barn. Chavez initially got up, but went to North Shore.

Considering the history of this trainer with his promising young horses, this horse's pretty unsound breeding and the unlikely ability (again, based on breeding) to get a distance of ground by May, it seemed pretty obvious that this horse is not going to live up to the hype and expectations I've been reading about since he broke his maiden.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to having at least a modicum of intelligence, thus being able to see what is entirely obvious, hence I never posted my thoughts on this horse prior to today.

Did I anticipate what happened today? Certainly not. Does this mean I redboarded him in my post?

I guess if you have a tiny little brain and are unable to see things with a clear mind, yes.

Matt -
He basically posted the thread as soon as the horse bolted - (race went off at 1:27, his thread shows up at 1:28) - couldn't be bothered to wait until after the race - without any thought or concern as to whether the horse or jock was in any sort of distress.
That's why I called him a dick.
If the horse finishes running up the track, the connections eat a slice of humble pie and we all have a little chuckle and some light hearted jabs - that the derby trail.
His post was classless, but I guess I shouldn't expect much from him given his history here.

Big difference between blowing a turn and something far more serious. Did you consider that perhaps the thread starter was quite sure of what happened? After all, the horse is ok. You're accusing someone of jumping the gun-maybe he's not the only one?

I don't know man. I've been watching races since 1984, and for about half those years, I went to the track every day.

At some point in time I learned to tell the difference between a horse being hurt and a horse blowing a turn. In my eyes, it was ridiculously obvious that this horse was rank and blew the turn. This wasn't something like the 2006 Preakness after all, where the horse that got pulled up was equally obviously injured.

Maybe you need to watch a few more races to learn to process and believe what your eyes are telling you?

I mean really, I'm flabbergasted how anyone with any experience betting horse racing could be so utterly without a clue.

Oh, and does that mean everyone else who posted about this incident before official word came back that he was okay is also a dick? Or did you just reserve that for me for some weird reason?

Hmmm. I don't buy it. As I just mentioned, you didn't call anyone else a dick, especially the person who started the other thread.

I think you called me a dick because you are frustrated with something.

That, or you have some sort of Internet version of Tourette's syndrome.

Yes, it is much more humorous when a horse finishes up the track, which is when something might actually be physically wrong with a horse. I laugh my ass off every time a horse gets distanced!!

Classless? Who is the one that called someone a fugging dick on here?

And what history are you referring to? The history of talking sense? Of making fun of PG1985? Of trying to be helpful to people?

Do tell!

Joseph. I almost forgot to thank you for weakening Elvis' position here.

Thank you.
