I still don't know which of the top two finishers is a better horse and that the margin between them is narrow either way. But i would like to see Better Talk Now and his rabbit take a hike and try lesser races. Its obvious he is a cut below those that ran yesterday. I hate having that rabbit in any race scewing up the way the race unfolds.

Except when Dutrow puts a rabbit in a race (see Woodward). Then it is ok. Right? Maybe he can even enter 2 rabbits for his third horse. LOL.

Thats correct, that means for betting purposes. I am not against the concept of a rabbit as it is fair and legal and within the rules. If Dr Fager could suffer from it so can everyone else. I simply made statement that you are now trying to use out of context. I said I think rabbits screw up how a race is run, and I tend not to bet those events. Show me anyplace where I said they were unfair? Boy are you nuts, wifey go out of town and leave you free time? If thats the case go play some golf or get drunk and watch baseball. You are wasting time here looking like a complete idiot.

I know what you meant. I know you are a Dutrow guy and I was just kidding. No golf for me today, just watching tennis, soccer, and golf on tv.

Congrats GPK, I had my doubts and thought Relaxed Gesture was sitting on a big one, but when I saw 8-5 at post time I was scratching my head. Gritty performance by EC. I just hope he comes back to Chicago for the Million and makes amend for his loss in last year's Secretariat. I'm still a fan of EC and think he is great for our sport.

Congrats Kev... I too thought Relaxed Gesture was sitting on a big one, but EC had other plans.
