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.

ArlJim...you just blew your cover...KING OF TURFWAY!!!
How are things going at Bowling Green with your "study"?

I always thought you were one burger short of a "happy meal"...now you've proven it.

Virtue is not Kingofturfway. Kingofturfway lived in KY. He suckered a Barbaro hat out of my friend. Virtue has something to do with Strategic Mission.

Strategic Mission is "the Knack". A one hit wonder. Last time I checked he had sired two winners, this horse and a horse from Puerto Rico that they were trying to peddle on the internet(I'm not kidding). Strategic Mission= My Sharona.

You've been on these boards ever since I first started posting last March. If after all this time you think that I was one of the study guys, well you're just not too bright. I was the guy studying the study.

Those guys actually were quite clever and would not have blown their cover in such a clumsy fashion.

DTS is a total liar. ArlJim is not Kingofturfway. Although I am beginning to suspect DTS is mentally ill. So give him a break.

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!!!
