Sha Tin might not be in Japan...

just guessing.

They need to bring Darren Beadman's ass over from Australia and let him guide the emmefffer home.

do you mean the defensive back for the Pittsburgh Steelers?

... but the Vivas would miss him! :p

By all accounts, he's pretty excited about Belmont.....:D

Seriously Darren Beadman is one of the best riders in the world, anyone who observes him for any amount of time I'm confident would come to the same conclusion. I doubt he's going anywhere, he even turned down Godolphin.

Additionally, I would also include Douglas Whyte in the same catagory. He's hardly a household name over here.

He's amazing.:)

Good guess.

Hey, I like Beadman!

Thanks, another I think that is pretty good is Brett Prebble, however Darren and Douglas are in a select league.

Absolutely.

I just tend to over-talk him on the HK threads so figured i should show a bit of restraint here. :D

I would say to whoever is riding, "Get as good of a trip in the Belmont as you did in the Peter Pan."

Rumor from Japanese friends is that Take is now off.....

Shane Laviolette

Yes.

I don't agree with anything in there

Damn, I was absent the day they taught Japanese.

The ride on Vodka the other day wasn't much. I'd go with Dutrow's "main man." If he got Bird Droppings to look good, then why go anywhere else? Yea, I'd love to see Prado take this from Dutrow. All this time, he has been his main jock. Now, when he had a T.C. candidate he gives it to the mouthy Cajun. Don't forget he already cost Prado a B.C. Classic Winner (I'm sure he didn't fight the owners that hard on that one, either.) Whatever Prado is on in this race. Play it...Play it..Play it.

Pretty sure Prado was hurt at the time. . .

I'm not overly critical but I've been disappointed with him (on Vodka) in the past.....

I saw that race Saturady night and I really think Vodka had no excuse, hard to blame Take IMO. She was in position, the horse just couldn't pick them up. Perhaps she is not at her best at the moment...The race in Dubai was probably farther than she wanted to go if my memory serves me correct from looking at the past p's Sat - Sun morning. Sorry I have to disagree...
