That movie won the Razzie for worst director, but SOMEHOW did not win the award for worst picture. It was nominated....but didn't win. I don't know how.

Premium Tap is Grade 1 horse in the way Lava Man is. When faced with real Grade 1 competition their true colors are shown. That they cant win a race with true grade 1 competition, cause they dont have the class nor the talent to win

Lava Man couldnt hold Tap's wang hair. Finishing a game second to the eventual H.O.Y. means nothing now-a-days? This guy is so far from reality, I'm surprised we even respond. He puts the Ma-rig-a-ma-roo on every horse he picks. (as if I dont)

Oh for the love of pointgiven1985, now he is saying that a horse that has won SIX G1s (Lava Man) is not a G1 caliber horse. I am not a big fan of Lava Man, and he certainly has some severe limitations as a racehorse, but once a horse wins six G1s, saying that he isn't G1 caliber is just foolish.
Give up trying to convince him otherwise. He apparently just doesn't get it.

For s hits and giggles, would it be possible for you to give me a few examples of grade 1 caliber horses running right now. And please, try and make it as amusing as your top 10 list, I need a good laugh.
The last time he did a top horses in training list I believe horses like Ravel were on it. There were some other really funny ones as well.

so far id be a total idiot to say yes given his progress as a 3 yr old, but he did win the hopeful and thats a grade 1. With that said he would have to show alot more to even be considered a true grade 1 class horse
