usually i am not a big fan of using the word "unbeatable" but in the competition for most useless poster on this board, i think you may in fact be "unbeatable" kid.

You may even get Dunbar to agree with you on that point!

Why is Drums of Thunder way over-hyped and NoBiz unbeatable, when Drums Of Thunder was within 1.5 lengths of him last month? Do you know how easy it is to have the result change by a merely 1.5 lengths?

50? Wow you were so close! He has run 9 times, winning 4, and finishing second two other times.
Man, I wonder why his owners don't just shoot him.

And Drums of Thunder was coming off a 2 month break after running 8 races in a row. So............?

Kaplan's got fine stats in a 2-Off situation like this too.

So he's still got a right to improve in his second start of his 3yo season, just like Nobiz does, even if it's his 104th start in 8 months.
