If he does I will bow down and conciede that he is the greatest horse racing mind of all time.
Odds are I will not have to do that.

I completely agree

If he does win the Triple we will all have to sign a huge hallmark congrats card and send it to him.

I'm sure many have picked Point Given, Empire Maker, Bellamy Road ...ect..ect to win the derby. They are probably still working in the biz, then why should it hurt one's rep when the business they are in is all about giving opinions.

Whatever the success or lack there of for POTN, Tuesday's Drinking Game will never be the same.

[MISTERGEE]

it will be fine just substitute one of his famous phrases

[HaloWishingwell]

I give Jon credit for speaking his mind and sharing his opinion. Until the race is over his opinion is as good as anyone else's. He easily could have just looked at the numbers and picked QUALITY ROAD, I WANT REVENGE and etc. If we all shared the same opinion(s) there would be a lack of chat here and money to take from others.

No, when I am wrong it wont make me an idiot. And yes I will post my picks before the derby. But I am not a handicapper on the national scene and I am not running around the country saying something as stupid as a horse that has never tried the dirt, never tried a mile and a quarter let alone a mile and a half is going to come across the country and beat up on some pretty decent horses in 3 gruling races in 5 weeks. It just doesnt make much sense to me. Unless of course this is the greatest horse of all time, which of course he is NOT

Tell me, Einsteen, couldnt this be said for every horse entered?

and after Saturday some of the horses that did run on dirt before the race will have excuses made for them that "they didnt handle the track". SO who the hell knows.

yes, it could. which is why people are going to question a person who so emphatically and persistently says one horse is going to do it all. especially when that horse hasn't ever raced over the type of surface on which all three tc races are held. in that regard, POTN is a bit behind horses who have shown ability over, and affinity for, a real dirt track.

At the pace these horses are dropping out, Saturday's winner might have not have much left to beat by The Belmont.

[dellinger63]

It's a lot harder to take JW's position whether it be right or wrong. There will be only one winner and most will be 'off the board.'

Why yes it can genius, but nobody is touting any other horse as the next triple crown winner.
