Yeah - I know - you still think Daaher is better than Midnight Lute.

Is that really the best you can do? Daaher beat ML when they met. All the rest is supposition.

Stick to giving out the CHALK Indian Blessing exacta in Dubai.

You lost credibility with me after your assessment of the Gotham. Slow pace, huh?

Take it up a ****in notch already, will you.

This One's For Phil was easily best yesterday.

We really need to discuss this. When all the other horses were running, this guy was drafting inside. Doesn't it follow that he'd have some run late, since all the others had run before him?

On a more interesting note, I made my 1st bet of the year at WO. Now, that's interesting racing.

I was watching the race with Stevie Wonder. Even he thought TO4P was best in that race. Terrible ride, terrible post, was running best at the end, and had to make multiple moves.

Actually, as the race unfolded, he was held up behind horses, and unable to make a move....while Mr. Fantasy was gaining an insurmountable advantage. The race was basically decided on the turn when he was stymied in traffic.

I'm not saying he is necessarily considerably better than Mr. Fantasy, but given their two different trips, This One's For Phil was the better horse on Saturday.

The race was over 20 seconds out of the gate when that cheap ass O'Neill horse went insane, and the duel which the others spotted 3 lengths to run down never materialized.

who knows who is better.

a decent speed horse is supposed to win an uncontested 1-turn mile.

TOFP didn't freak the way that he did in the SunMillions,Foy, and Swale. Blame it on the law of diminishing returns with "juice", or the track, but he ran a credible race considering that the winner had a cakewalk and he had to slide between the rail and a rival.
