My boss missed her flight to kentucky, she was going to be with Eight Belles connections.. since she said she would be in the winners circle if Eight Belles won, and now she missed her flight and isnt going... It is almost guaranteed that Eight Belles will win.

Not to state the obvious, but can't she take another flight?

Yea id say screw it too, that 24hrs trip from Austrailia wouldnt be worth it, now flying a couple hours from Florida...

I would just like to add to my original post in this thread -- that if it's sloppy or wet at post time, Visionaire goes to the top of my list and everyone else drops down a notch. Other than that, I don't want him.

I know your from Ft Lauderdale, my post made as much sense as your boss saying 30hrs away from the derby It wasnt meant to be to take a two hour flight to Kentucky to hang out with the connections of a derby contender who can make history. It also aggrevates me that people dismiss certain things that other people would kill for especially an opportunity to get into the winners circle at the derby.

Believe me she is bummed. Work also got in the way, unexpected meetings w/ home office and we insure a lot of the derby horses so times are busy. also there could be other circumstances. sometimes things dont work out.

Gosh i was only trying to say that eight bells is a lock now.

Bob, I was being a wiseguy they live in Florida. I was making the point of there is still plenty of time to go its not like they live that far away. Im sure I didnt have to explain that, but...

Antitrust32 · #57 05-02-2008, 11:22 AM

Bob was being a wiseguy also.. he knows i live in ocala since i took pics of his horses here a few weeks ago.. i wish i would have not said anything!

I could be wrong on my top picks, but that plug Denis of Cork will not crack the top 10. I'm amazed at how many people on here are picking this horse and NOT picking Big Brown. He had one more race and he's only posted one decent Beyer off of a god damn dream trip. Not to mention his trainer is nothing more than a glorified groom.

Good luck wasting your money on him.

Coach,
Looks like you and I are the only ones to list Tale of Ekati...and first at that. I'm still the only one bombing on Z Humor I guess. I love Col John but the angles worry me...still he might be my top pick by post time.
