sorry...wasn't trying to be tiresome, just wanted to point out i guess that i do like the horse.
but for the derby? maybe not so much, especially if he's not showing he's comfortable on what is to him a very foreign surface.

Rich Migliore will now ride Bob Black Jack if he gets in with David Flores jumping to Behindatthebar.

When did they decide to wreck Behindatthebar by running him into the ground? Sad the way Derby fever helps make bad decisions.

DOC may have a better chance than BATB, but he really isn't #21 overall, but moved up the list because of War Pass, Salute The Sarge, maybe Proud Spell, etc. So you're looking at a horse who was more like 25th in earnings and dug his own grave by a strange Spring campaign. Even if Hawthorne had a rail bias that day, a slightly better showing and he'd be in. Maybe they should be grateful that he's actually at #21?

Well, 21 relative to the current standings... I honestly could care less if DoC gets in anyway, he's not among my list of contenders that can win the race. I just rate him as having a better shot than BATB.

They wouldn't be grateful at all.. Horse is doing fabulous and Carroll would really like to get the chance here. Peter Pan or Preakness are the alternatives..

After the tremendous workout the other day, Denis of Cork returned to the track yesterday and just looked powerful and fluid and eager to do more. Anyone who was a backer of the colt before the intrusion of Warren "advisors" Mark Reid and Mike Ryan should be hoping things fall his way and he runs.

From what I have seen Behindatthebar will out run Dennis of Cork. I just dont like the fact that his last 2 races are so close while trying to go 1 1/4 with the top of his class.

I have a nice futures bet on DoC, but Behindatthebar went out and did what he needed to do his last race, while DoC didn't do crap.

Byk, you see Anak Nakal work today? 46.52 is pretty fast for this horse.

This horse has a legit chance at hitting the board, I really think that Zito let him work himself into shape and now he is starting to blossom....

Good chance Migliore will be watching the Derby on TV. BBJ needs three defections from the following list:

Massive Drama (probable defection)
Salute the Sarge (probable defection)
Proud Spell (50-50 i'll bet)
Eight Belles (going)
Behindatthebar (going)

....or, he needs two from the above, plus an injury.
