the overrated one works

[Danzig]

yeah, he popped a splint....

can't wait to see him on the track again, this gets him that much closer. keep your fingers crossed that he continues to move forward.

another horse who's next race i'm eagerly looking forward to is pine island. heckuva run to finish just behind bushfire the other day.

Pine Island is exciting for as lightly raced as she is.....she moves like a turf horse with her style and leg action, but she clearly as good on either surface.....Plus, I own an Arch La-bred 2yo filly and would love to see her turn into a superstar to help my filly some...

[Danzig]

good luck with that filly. i like arch myself, and think he could really have some success at stud. matter of fact, when we were up there last summer, the groom told us that seth han**** got an offer for arch, and was seriously considering selling him--til prince arch took off! no deal!!

Another VERY interesting tidbit about Bellamy Road is that both Nick Zito and Michael Dickinson - both of whom have won MANY big races and have put their hands on MANY top horses (and also happened to be the only two trainers that Bellamy Road has run for to this point) - have both been reported as stating that this horse is the most talented horse they've ever trained....

...I'd say that is pretty strong stuff....

LMFAO funny he is the goods huh, based on what? him beating a GRADE 3 field if it was even that as a whole in the wood and then in the summer staggering down the lane with the rest of them.......nobodies race in that 1 was good, it was actually a sad sight to watch! the only thing you can say in his defense there is that he was mismanaged and brought into that race the wrong way. ill say it again.........OVERRATED!

[Danzig]

didn't BR beat scrappy t in the wood? the same scrappy who finished second to alex in the preakness?

overrated, like beauty, must be in the eye of the beholder. BR won all but two races he's run in--the derby where he suffered an injury, and the travers where he ran second to flower alley--off how long of a layoff?? how many works again? and that's the same flower alley who then beat older horses, and then finished second in the bcc.

He lost the 2yo race at Keeneland, he was hurt in that race as well and it was his last race for Dickinson.

I think people are hopeful that the horse returns to form. Bellamy Road has got a lot to prove. I dont trust Dickinson or anything he says. He may have run some very good horses, but he is not forthcoming or nuts or both.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion..............hopefully, we'll find out soon!

Playa when you win by that many lengths in that time it really doesnt matter who was in there. By the way he beat Scrappy T in that race by about 19 lengths, the same horse Alex beat by about 6 1/2 in the Preakness. Then he runs one of the most incredible 2nd place finishes in history off a layoff injury and only a few works, none father than 5 furlongs. Oh and his rag number was just crazy sick in the Wood. But i guess you make better figs than them, you should start selling them Playa.
He wont do anything with Sexton training him though.

Johnny "Chi-Town" Drama just likes to give me grief
although, I'm not sure what he's <BR> doing with Stein's stable manager
it sure doesn't give me confidence, really that he'll return at all
to me the Wood was a thing of rare beauty, and so was the gallant Traver's effort
some can appreciate such a thing, while others can't
I s'pose JC is in da latter
