The one horse you are talking about barely showed he was better than than a field you are calling weaker than the FOY despite having a favorable set-up. you make no sense sometimes. you would have a point if Giant Moon had to overcome adversity and still won decisively. it was not clear that he was much better than Spank Fischbein.

Those two comments strike me as funny. I have a need for people to know my opinions huh? Isn't that what everyone on this board is doing? Giving their opinions. I have a need to have people know my opinions on horses but u feel the need to give your opinion on me. Interesting.

Eight Belles is the best 3 yr old I've seen this year. Not a Derby horse, but I've seen noone run better than her this year.

No, I'm dead serious on this. I've seen no one run better than her this year. IF Denis of Cork is highly thought of...I saw her run the same distance at the same track on an off track the day before completely 100 percent under wraps through the stretch getting the same Beyer as DOC. She does have the highest two turn 3 yr old Beyer this year. I realize Beyers are meaningless to some extent. I saw her two races. In my opinion she's better than anything I've seen this year. Other than War Pass who is obvious...of all the 3 year olds I think she is the one with the best chance outside him to be "special". I'm most likely wrong...but that's ok. I like her running style..she appears to be adaptable...can come off the pace...can rate just off. Seems to be well schooled. After watching all her two year old races when she appeared to be tough to handle and never changed leads in the stretch...it appears she now "gets it". Two extremely efficient races starting off her 3 yr old year.

No...not joking one iota.
