Bold Ruler/Showing Up

[Gander]

Kev didnt see the race live, he had a B Day party to go to and caught a few races earlier on at OTB. Kev will be better than ever and hopefully make it up to Toga the weekend of the Travers.

Nice score both for Bold Ruler on the crush WPS and Oracle on the tri. Wish I had any part of that!

That sucks, but I am sure he'll get to see the next one.

Gander,

Ran outside today for the first time in about 2 months, my knee feels better and I am ready to roll...

Yeah, the only differnce is I gave my picks out before the race and bet with my own money. LOL.

Point-

Good for you, bet you it felt good. I was running very well up until 3 weeks ago then came down with a summer flu and then my achilles started up again. I got 4 runs in this week and starting to feel very good again.

Showing Up won the race didn't he? Why is everyone gloating about Kip Deville?

I was impressed with both. BOTH horses are nice.

KD is a nice horse. Showing Up reeled him in and blew by him. KD is not in Showing Up's league. I was told Showing Up was about just as good as Barbaro on the turf, and it looks like they were right. First race on the turf and only his 5th career race. SU is the goods.

Exactly! Why is it so hard sometimes for people to acknowledge what should be blatantly obvious? Showing Up really showed up again and proved himself to be a budding turf star, and Kip Deville displayed devasting speed.

BTW, remember who was the original Showing Up fanatic, King o Turfway!!

Lets not forget that Showing Up is no Barbaro though. The real Showing Up fanatic is Virtue on Finalturn. He has been all over the horse forever. I love Showing Up but he isn't the second coming of Secretariat. He is clearly the best 3yr old turf horse though. He squeezed my Sweetnorthernsaint in the derby too, which didn't make me too happy.

Agreed. I couldnt seperate the two of em now. One had a great jock and the one hole and got to sit behind a moron who went out to a 17 length lead and had to break from the 14 hole. teh fact that he still dug in to hold 2nd is blowing my mind right now. I couldnt really seperate them. But I can just about gurantee you will see a different jock on him next time!!!

KD ran ok. It is Oracle trying to make him into something great. He ran a nice race but Showing Up was tons the better horse. Wasn't even close. They stretch out a little more in the next and the speedy KD will die again and SU will win by 7 or 8. They are not in the same league.
