He sucks.

Sometimes people don't notice when it is a crappy claiming race at Turfway, but when you are calling one of the biggest races in America on national television it would be advisable to know the correct pronunciation of the likely favorite in an eight horse field.

Would you say the same if the guy working in the bay at the oil lube shop put in a drain plug that was too small and it fell out right when he put it in?

99.9% of people probably wouldn't care I guess... close enough.

Not that I thought he'd be quite that short - and not that I liked him - but I didn't think his closing price was shocking.

I thought Cool Coal Man was utterly hopeless off of his last two races and he almost won at 5/1.

That race just plain sucked. The Miss Isella/One Caroline race went over a second and a half faster today.

The older males are a complete joke - and I know I'm only belaboring the obvious and telling you something you already know.

I know about Hard Spun and what he did a couple of years ago coming off a blazing work but I don't think the trainer liked Calvin running her that fast. I think she is vulnerable and am putting Bafferts horse with Flying spur and justwhistledixie for the double. I think the last one is coming into this with just the right rest and should run her best which should do it if RA falters. And I think she will.
As for the derby half of the double, I am still working on it. I do like Pioneer alot with Friesan Fire, Hold Me Back, Mr. Hot Stuff and Desert Party. IWR from everything I have heard is gonna be a handful and I don't like Talamo's inexperience which he put on display in the Gotham. I don't get the hype on Dunkirk. three races, hasn't won a stake, never raced at 2. Too lean for me to put any money on. Chocolate Candy could be at huge odds and his stretch run against a slow pace in the Santa Anita Derby was very impressive. Should be a great show for fans. I'll be at a Derby Party at Belmont.
