Sounds good. I went on him that race because of the "they have to know" $$ angle and got killed, so it's possible I'm jaded. I just can't see anything the horse did that race that looked remotely positive.

If Malagancy runs well it'll be interesting to see where JJ ends up riding in the Derby.

I think it would obviously be Todds horse. The other horse is destined for 1 turn races

Is it really easier to write "Todds horse" than to name the horse? Same for "other horse".

It's to save himself for when he realizes that the original "other horse" has actually run his best races around two-turns.

No it isn't. I'm saying, in as few words as possible and as softly as possible, that his opinion is irrelevant. Rude would be if I called him a name, like a moronic imbecile.

sure I could have wrote it that way too.

but here are the times of the recent 1-1/8 th mile stakes winners.

1:50.91
1:51.16
1:49.77
1:47.47
1:50.39
1:48.93


Yes, I actually looked them up. Took like 40 minutes. Pain in the ass but I stuck to it. The one that says 1:47.47 belongs to Todd.
But I'm not going to say the name of the horse even though I know who's times they all belong too.

Oh yes, and HAPPY EASTER too all.

I had no idea Todd could move that fast.

Also, I'm surprised it takes you an average of 8 minutes to look up the time of a race.

Somebody keeps calling Baffert "Arrogate's trainer" in the Bloodhorse comments whenever it comes up. Refuses to call him by name. No idea why, but ya gotta roll your eyes at that one.
