If he wins the Breeders' Cup Classic, then it's because he's a synthetic horse.

If he wins multiple Grade Is this year and next, it's because of the relative mediocrity of the competition.
Yeah, because if today's tour de force, a badly bearing out distant second by an eyelash, didn't convince the non-believers, nothing ever will. Good call.

Please, stop with the compliments.....I'm blushing.

You have to respect someone who waits 22 plus months between posts to make a preposterous redboard.....and then sling some indecipherable mud.

He's been held up following Mine That Bird since he was sold at public auction a year and a half ago.

How can you bash MM after running a game 3rd by a nose on a crap track? Indulge me and tell me what your tickets were today......
BTW im not trolling as bombthreat, his tickets being weirdly similar to mine is merely coincindence

To me - Mine That Bird is as laughable now as he was before the race.

The only thing he had going for him was track specific jockey stats ... that's - oh - I don't know - down around # 5,264 for most important factors in the handicapping equation.

and to add to my self pitty that this drunkin stooper is not helping I had 8-2 8-7 exactas

I'm sure I won't be the only one here having trouble sleeping tonight knowing all the wisdom we have been, and will be, denied.
