My main bet was the 19 to win, but I did have a $10 6-8 exacta box as a flyer...who would have thought that it would be the six that would be nowhere to be found at the finish...so yeah, I'm a dumb *ss |

It was terribly clear today. That course totally exposed him. The horse may not be worth a damn on dirt. But if you learned something about his dirt abilities today, please share. |

Please don't quote Pgarden....it completely defeats the purpose of the " iggy " button.
Surely I'm one of many here that share that sentiment.

He beat Revenge twice on syn. Do you have a prior post expressing that you knew Revenge would take very well to dirt before he actually ran on it? And that you could tell Pioneer would not? |

Poor Jon White. His triple crown dream for POTN is gone. Thank god we won't have to listen to any of his nonsense anymore. I was so damn happy that POTN didn't win. One can only take so much of Baffert sticking his kid in front of every tv camera available. Obviously nobody on this planet picked the winner...I looked right past him in the pp's....but hell...it's not like he barely won.....he smoked the field today...he deserves some credit. Plus his trainer is a riot....loved him basically telling the dude on NBC to go fu#k off at the end of the interview. |

It's not about Jon White. He has earned the right to have a strong opinion and he was hardly embarrassed today.
The bottom line is that Hold That Bird saved us from enduring a lot of falsehoods about what would have been a dramatically misunderstood result.

Jon White's reasoning on tv was a bit much......he would have been ridiculous if POTN won....that's what I was implying. |

The problem was that we handicapped like professionals & didn't use the twinza angle. When 2 horses in the race have similar names (Summer Bird, Mine That Bird), one will be in the money. I forgot about that! I bet Hold Me Back & Musket Man, & used Pioneer & Papa Clem, did not use FF or the winner. Oh well I wonder how much, if any, respect, MTB will get in the Preakness. Musket Man did prove himself to be a solid performer, as did POTN |

What if one of the more "logical" horses had won this race, the same way as Mine that Bird did? I'm talking about one of the 3 superstars (Friesan Fire, Pioneer and the allowance winner Dunkirk). What if their jockey made the same move as Borel did and won as emphatically?
Would we be hearing a bunch of whining and ridiculing or rather talk of the first triple crown winner in 30+ years looming? |

All I do know is Calvin Borel is the king of Churchill- and again, a deserving winning jockey. And I could normally care less who rides.
