I think if this horse can get his head out of his a$$, he could be sitting on top very soon.
When's he shipping in? I can go over to Pim and scream in his face for 15 minutes...help toughen him up.

SlowBiz is just that SLOW...always has been and always will be. He is simply not good enough.

Nobiz reminds me of Strong Contender for some reason.

I realize that Nobiz disappointed a bit in the Derby, but don't you think this is a little harsh. Next thing you know, he'll be compared to Dr. Pleasure.

I think he 'disappointed a bit' WELL BEFORE the Derby.

Is it okay for me to think that he is just another descendant of Storm Cat that didn't get any better from 2 to 3? Everybody seems to think that just because he's big that he has that much more potential than all the other horses. What has he done in any of his races other than his maiden to justify that?

Nobiz is a tail male descendant of Ribot. His dam is a daughter of Cat. Surely you don't think that any horse with SC in his breeding, anywhere is destined to not train on?
