Default Nice comeback race......

Like he has a shot...Doesnt Mandella have this horse now? Suprising..I kind of thought Mandella was good at spotting horses....apparently not. Pretty good spot for a horse who isnt even remotely close to grade I caliber anymore, and is not a very good grass horse.

You should call Mandella and tell him how to do his job.

You again...you are like an annoying gnat.

So I suppose you think this is a good spot for the horse huh?


Dont you have some other thread to post in about Casino Drive..you know...the horse you love...no just kidding, you dont like...oh wait you are gonna bet him....no....dont think he has a shot.....but are going to be him big.


The stock market has been dropping like a rock since you said things are fine...too funny. What happens when The Dow hits 12k ??? I am sure you will have some new ridiculous theory to spew.

In all seriousness what do you do for a living? Assuming you do have a job.

Oh good... someone has taken my place? Whew.

I agree with you though (about PD). The title I mean... glad to see him back.

On the decision.....

You are telling me that there are actually 12 bigger morons out there? Sorry man....cant see that. If Justin was on Jeopardy against a labotomized retarded monkey and a slab of rock, I would still bet on Justin to show.

Makes Murray Johnson's forays into Chicago for the Arlington Million when this horse was in its prime on the main track look ingenius. Then again, didn't Mandella himself derail Gentlemen's powerful '97 campaign with a ridiculous start in the Woodbine Mile on turf from which he emerged with a splint injury?

All that aside, I'm salivating at the prospect of getting anything over 5-1 on Thousand Words in here.

The guy who wrote this and mentioned PD and The Tin Man in the same article should be demoted to refillling the soda machine at his workplace. Cant even compare the two.

When I first saw the entries I thought they had given the horse back to Johnson.

Get Funky is a horse who fires sometimes...probably worth putting in the exotics. His last seemed like a prep for this.

I'm hoping Get Funky just keeps Daytona from pulling another Sweet Return-like theft in this (though Get Funky outran his odds last year, too). Beyond the two ridiculous entries (ie PD and Notional), it looks fairly competitive. I wouldn't be surprised to see a blanket finish.

Hyperbaric could put it all together if he holds together (just 5 career starts). If you're looking for holes in Ever A Friend, I find it curious that off his monster Kilroe effort, he gets 3 months to recover before making his next start, but even before this race, Mike Mitchell is already planning another break for the horse afterwards. Considering the way he campaigns his other horses, that raises some question marks. Thousand Words crushed his only turf start in the states, and his form is clouded by the two 7/8s stakes on the main track. I assume Frankel was just desperate to get any horse other than the Latent Heat-wannabe First Defence into the Met Mile.

Yeah...Get Funky will definitely be pressing...and though I am a fan of the horse, his wins have all been pretty much perfect trips. Am hoping he sits right off of Daytona and can hold off the closers...that is if he can get past Daytona. Not an easy spot. Great points about the Mitchell horse....something seems fishy there.

You are such an easy mark. I wasnt talking about money...hell..you could be a trust fund baby......or some homeless dude who posts at some starbucks that has free internet.

I guess you are having a problem following the discussion.....I was wondering if someone as stupid as yourself could actually hold a job. Nothing to do with money.


Gotta love douchebags on the net who wanna compare their net worth.


Stay down for the count putz.
