Good thing he's got that extra furlong cause last race I really think he would have got there with a little extra ground.

If Pletcher gets the kinks worked out this horse could win the Donn.

If Pletcher works the kinks out of him he could win a MSW at the Mountain this winter!

Feastorfamine looks good here. I might just box the 4 most logical contenders who aren't named The Green Monkey in an exacta box.

What are the chances that "The Green Monkey" becomes a verb? Example:

"I paid $20,000 for this used car, and it hasn't run properly since I bought it. I got The-Green-Monkied by the seller."

I hope he wins by 10 on Saturday.

if he thought the spanked monkey needed longer, shouldn't TAP have found something with more than one extra furlong?

It's a good thing a horse doesn't know when it's ridiculed, or this colt would have quite the complex! LOL

no, he'd have his muzzle in the air, sneering down his looong nose at those who went for so much less at auction.

In a very proper British accent I might add. [/b]

That's funny. Think I'll get that started amongst my circle.

I hope he likes the Mud. NY has had more rain in a day than in the last month, and it may take a week to dry out

Is it true that Tarzan is going to be the race caller ?

Weird, I was going to say "slim to none, but closer to none."

However, if you do choose to use it, you'll need to keep everything in perspective. I'll add a little addendum to Justin's thought.

You can't just say that the $20K car got you green-monkied just because it doesn't work. You can only use that verb if you paid $20K for the car, knowing full well that it was only worth about $2-3K, but decided you were willing to pay about 10x what it was worth just because your arch enemy wanted it too.

So it's not really the car's fault for being a piece of crap when valued at $20K, it really is that you yourself caused the whole green-monkeying of the situation by paying some 8-10x what the car was really worth in the first place.

I think that "wow that was phucking stupid" is an already existing, and perfectly suitable expression for those situations.

And he's Dave Litfins' best bet of the day! Says he chased one of the fastest paced maiden races on the circuit...
