Laughing at what?

People who think riding a horse out through the stretch makes him run open lengths faster?

I find it more annoying than funny...but whatever floats your boat.

What beyer did they give out last year for the Preakness?

I don't remember. I know it was a pretty fast final time.

The track was pretty fast... Then you had a fast pace to begin with... Then Pino takes the Derby place horse Hard Spun and gives him a "Kieren Fallon"...
And then you had two BEARS to run it down and duel to the wire.

No wonder it was a fast time.

This years preakness featured a dissapearing act from the cheap pace setter TreBorachos, and a superstar trying not to inherit the lead too early at about a 1:36 clip with nothing to fear but a mishap.

Tres Borrachos might have performed a disappearing act, but it certainly wasn't as a cheap pace setter.

My chart has him in 11th, then 12th, then rallies past Gayego and Riley Tucker for 10th.

Would they have beaten Brown by 6.5 or 7 lengths?

I can't even do it one race apart.

Maybe it is the "Denis of Cork could have beaten Big Brown" statement (Leader in the clubhouse of absurd 2008 statments) that makes him laugh.

Maybe you have no idea what you're talking about.

Well you may be right but I sure know a hell of a lot more than to say "Denis of Cork would have beaten BB" That one scores a 119 Beyer for absurd statements.. Have a nice day and bet big against BB on Belmont day. You know those 100-102 Beyers don't lie.

First of all - I never said what you quoted - but why not take the scummy move and lie? Nice move.

If you want to see lunacy ... just read the following quote again ..

and keep in mind the year's two highest figs came with full nelson rides.

It's pretty amusing that even MisterB saw the point I was making about trips - while you couldn't.

You probably think the best horse wins every race - and you obviously don't understand trips at all.

You are just posting at such a high level that most of us cannot appreciate. Thank you for your patience.
