"best horse I've ever ridden"

[jballscalls]

When i worked in the race office, if i had a buck for everytime a jockey told me he loved a horse he worked or that it was like driving a ferrari, i'd be a rich man. the problem is i would have bet on the horses they talked about and lost.

I particularly enjoy when they are quoted so they get to load twice (or more if others follow the trend).

Didn't Desormeaux guarantee that Imperialism would win the Preakness and Belmont after he clunked up for 3rd in the Derby?

So much praise by Kent of a horse who has accomplished nothing. I guess the workouts convinced him he's a monster. Let see how he takes his workout routine to a track in a race that means soemthing.

''With a clean trip in the Derby, I would have absolutely challenged Smarty Jones,'' Desormeaux said. ''He was up there by himself. Would he have found another gear? I don't know. I can assure you when we corner for the Preakness, Imperialism will be at his throat and he'll have to hold me off.''
