Did it seem to you that NObiz tried to duck in again in the stretch, like he did when he did in the previous race? And that he started to run again after he was straightened?

Yup, he's sort of a big goofy kid. I still think he is a nice horse though. Stormello is one gritty little horse.

The unbeatable horse could've been off the board easily.

I thought it was pretty comical when Nobiz was labeled unbeatable, and when people said "Did you see what Tagg said about Nobiz, comparing him to Barbaro". WOW, a trainer compared his horse to a champion, so it must mean he is a champion, so there is no way he can lose.

LOL

i was wrong i said he had zero chance to win today and that nobiz was unbeatable and i was so wrong. i thought stormello ran the winning race and he should have won, nobiz did not show up today and i should never again say a horse is unbeatable or a horse has no chance to win, i learned alot from today. along with my bad predictions i also lost alot of money. so from now on i will think before i talk

He was lugging in badly in the stretch (what else is new?) and didn't exactly get the best ride (but that's Cornelio for you)

DrugS posed the rhetorical question: whether I actually had doubts that this horse could get more than a mile, after I questioned his loss to Scat Daddy in the Belmont stake, where he had a bit of trouble, but certainly not enough for a good horse to overcome.

Whatever the case, he's certainly supposed to beat this bunch.

Clearly, this is a horse that runs big ONLY went it gets its own way.


As for the top 2: if you look at the chart of the Juvenile Colt, they ran the best after the winner.

I picked the wrong pony to try to beat NBLS (Drums of Tunder) but one thing I know for sure...NBLS is a ONE PACED, slow horse....he has only one gear and horses like that NEVER can get it done when the going gets tough. Tagg lost his mind thinking this horse is a super horse!!!

I think there is a little more wrong with No Biz than just being green. Hes just lugs in too much, and tried to get out a little on the turn.

I think you're right, he doesn't have a burst of speed that he can rely on, no acceleration. He just cruises along. I wanted to see something different from him this week and its just not there.

Plus he runs goofy in the stretch.

He ducked, veered, whatever you want to call it and more than once. He seemed to looking around and not really in the bridle, on the bit, whatever you want to call it. I am not a trainer so I will not venture to say it's a soundness, health, etc. issue as opposed to a "green" or immaturity issue. However, several people I know, and I respect their opinion, have said that he has never appeared to be unsound or have a problem. That doesn't mean he doesn't.

Be that as it may, from just watching the race -- when he did get collared, and passed, as much as he wasn't straight, he seemed to be game and fighting -- and once he got straightened out, he seemed like he really got into the bridle, dug in, and came back on. I saw more than enough to not throw him out of the "contender" category.
