Uh oh. Don't make me go over there and read.

I wasn't trying to lash out at anyone... just didn't agree on what he was saying about Street Sense. Heavens... opinions are like assholes... everyone has one.

Got tore up pretty bad "next door", they ganged up on me, now I got a broken arm, sprained fingers from typing trying to defend myself...might go back for more manana.

What do ya think Moodwalker, did they convince you to play Street Sense yet?


My exact post...no need to get Blocky all excited, Cajun.

I do have a broken arm which I didn't say you did, my fingers do hurt from typing with one hand defending my opinions which I, you and everyone is entitled. I am of the opinion that I was in the minority and felt that I was ganged up on. Minority is a fact...ganged up on is an opinion...remember this is a message board, I'm allowed to have one as are you.

Now, I have supported this board over there if you bothered to read any more of my posts or whoever is the real tattler here(freakin' grade school)read any. I have especially supported the proud owners of SumWon and DeeTee stables who have been mocked repeatedly. I also have stuck up for that site and a few of its members a few weeks back,
because I felt they brought valid points and were found out & trashed.

BOTTOM LINE

There is great info at both sites about horseracing, am I right? There is great "discussions" at both as well. Why can't we just leave it at that?

That was my original viewpoint as well. When a few of the members over there started some unnecessary stuff, I just chose not to post anymore. It didn't make sense. BTW... I didn't care for Street Sense either. That is until I saw him in Tampa Bay. The colt just might be that good, but maybe not. I'm not forcing you to use him on your tickets... it's your perogative. Well hell... I wish more people would leave him off. His odds would go up!

Thanks, those comments that were made were in bad taste and definitely uncalled for, it's unfortunate that they made them to you.

I think SS is good, very good compared to many in the field, if he wins I'll probably lose...that's gambling. Good luck to all.

That's your opinion...This was mine...Now let us give the thread back to Street Sense and all have a nice day. Agreed?

Why are you such a freaking Moron?? LOL......Wow...You had quite an outing there buddy. As far as the other Forum goes...it's kind of quiet over there. At least here there's always something to do. As far as Street Sense goes...The race on Polytrack is a complete throw out. Keeneland went from being a fun track to cap to garbage in one year. Maybe I just am biased because of Poly. I think anyone would be crazy not to have on at least one of their tickets a Street Sense - Circular Quay boxed exacta.

I'm crazy. I'm going to let CQ beat me... 8 weeks off? No thanks.

Blah,Blah,Blah....you know you may be right, but I'm so sick and tired of hearing about this layoff crap. Let's just say a few things about this.

1. Would a world class trainer like you know......ugh....Todd Pletcher send a
horse to the derby that wasn't ready???

2. Would Johnny V. choose CQ as his mount if the horse wasn't ready??

3. Have never ever ever bet a horse off an eight week layoff??

Now I don't mean to come down on you Cajun because you are one of many with this opinion. Go look at all his replays like I have done many many times.
This horse is potentially a monster. I may be and judging by my Derby luck in the past...will be wrong. But I will sure as hell take 8-1...10-1 or higher on him than I would..say 7/2 on everyones new hero Curlin.

I'd bet on a horse off an 8 week layoff, sure. Not in the Kentucky Derby, though. Big difference between THIS race and a normal come back allowance race. I like CQ... just not this time around. It's nothing against him or his talent (as I think he's extremely talented.) As for Curlin, I don't like his chances in the Derby either.

1) Maybe the horse will be ready to run his best, but will it be enough? As good as Mr. P is, he hasn't exactly got this Derby thing figured out yet either

2) bad way to analyze a horses chances in the derby if you ask me, if Pletcher is going to run him JV will be the jockey. There is no way in the world that Pletcher sends him buts JV says "listen, this horse is not ready I'm looking for another mount".

3) Of course eight weeks layoffs are common for other races, and horses can win off eight week layoffs. as you know derby history has not been kind to horses off of long layoffs. Five weeks last year made history.

Add to that another hurdle that I think is not small, no 9 furlong prep races. So in addition to the layoff, he is adding more distance than most.

But the final comment about potential monster is the one most perplexing to me. I see nothing in his PP's to suggest that. If you have watched his replays over and over surely you have noticed the ideal set-up that this one had in the LA Derby.
