He's one I can see hitting the board...

He's slow, but he's consistent.

No, why is it ridiculous? This crop is filled with nothing but slow pokes and I see no reason why a consistent horse (albeit slow) can't hit the board.

The crop isn't filled with " slowpokes ", perhaps it is if you allow yourself to be misinformed, but regardless of that saying you like a horse that is consistently slow makes no sense.

He will be a hell of an overnight stake horse.

The IEAH shill is back.

What's the next target date for Big Brown? Come on, make another one up, keep your record intact.

pretender. The vast majority of these
will not make it to the race, so probability
makes the negative answer look smart.

He looked good closing in the FOY,
but the first two really did all the running.
Still early. I am not particularly fond of
his style.

True.
They are both easy outs.

OK here is another stand.
E. Fields will not win the Derby.
Want to bet?

This is a stand also?

No one.
I took a stand.

Took my vitamin last night.
How does castration feel?
Still hurts obviously.

I think that after you get past the top two, it's extremely wide open. In that light, I wouldn't throw ANY 3yo out as a contender....to hit the board that is. But I don't think he can win it.

Elysium Fields made a big jump in the FOY. If he continues to progress forward there is no reason to think he wouldnt have as good of a shot as anything being mentioned with Derby. He really looked to be light on seasoning for the FOY, I thought he ran extremely well and would undoubtedly say hes the best horse to move forward from that race.

Not sure about the castration part, but as you know my offer is still out there and very feesible. Feel free to accept whenever you like.
Yes it took a lot out of me.

Go reread the thread.
No one knows who you
are (paranoia intact).

But its clear what you are.
