Derby Fever: Where 'stupid' is contagious

[Split Rock]

With all due respect to Steve Byk (I love his horse racing show and seems like a good guy), he owes a sincere apology to the connections of Mine That Bird. While the horse appeared to have zero hope on paper, he deserved to be in based on the rules of entry.

In addition, it just goes to show how absolutely idiotic an idea it is to reduce the field size to 14. Why would you do that? Just to be able to handicap it better? I don't understand. It's ALL about the chance.

Finally, the Derby finish solidifies the fact that stiffer drug testing reveals the phony trainers (Pletcher most notably).

While Steve Byk was spending his time sharing his Derby opinions, and reasoning, you made not one single post here in a week.

Until now....with this garbage.

You've got nerve, I'll give you that.

Shouldn't this line be reserved for someone that actually had an opinion on the race? Me thinks so.

[declansharbor]

Beat me to it BTW.

Didnt hear a peep from him all week, and this is what he types?

both of you can EAD. Been with my wife all week. You see she's got Heart Failure and in need of a new pacemaker. Some of us don't get to live online like you two. Get a real life instead of posting your garbage with 10 million post that add up to having nothing to show for your time. I can't hlp that the both of you missed every bet you made today. Go back to reading the form and not cashing once again.

Sorry to hear about your wife. I really am.


But stop taking her pills.

You didnt let the need of the new pacemaker prevent you from going out to your local supermarket to pick up all of those crow spices and herbs and posting your menu on here.

and by the way, I've made more money in this game since the new year, than you probably have in your lifetime, and I'm still green at this game.

and lastly, rest assured that my life is far more enjoyable than your life. So put your dog down and clean up it's creampie.

[packerbacker7964]

Dude quit it. Your only going to get yourself worked up over a GAME. Oh I forgot you got that Book out about your betting skills. Like I said if half of you on here were half as good as you claim you'd be retired by now. Oh I've made XXX since. Start posting some $hit before it happens. And no I'm not going to go Head to Head with you on Handicaping I've got beter things to do. Now turn the lights off in Mom's Basement she needs her rest.

Sorry about your wife, but I can't imagine a more absurd response to what Andy and Declan said. . .

Packer, this thread contains some of your finest work.

Truly laughable. You don't have a thing to say until after the race, then you throw a shot at all of the people that did have a pre-race opinion. When challenged, you turn martyr. Then you put the cherry on top by attacking someone who makes a living at this game, is employed by the biggest circuit in US racing to give his opinions every day and somehow doesn't have your horse racing respect.

Good stuff.

Who is this person you speak of? I'm just saying as long as the damn horse is in the starting gate he has a chance. If you ran this derby 100 more times MTB wouldn't win another. I'm just saying when you have the chance to Run For the Roses do it. The owner will never have a shot at another derby so why not take it?

How so, exactly? By Dunkirk falling on his face at the start?

i think you're overstating his start. it wasn't that bad of a stumble. i've seen worse, with better finishes after.

That's possible, I suppose, but I don't think his trip after that was particularly easy either. Anyways. . . the poster I was responding to made an incredibly asinine comment about Pletcher's supposed drug use, citing his lack of success in the Derby (despite two second place finishes) - not to mention a Belmont Stakes win and countless other major G1 victories. He's the type of idiot that helps limit the general public's exposure to racing to breakdowns and "steroids."

Asinine comment? The game is ravaged by drugs. Just saying it isn't doesn't make it so. There is hardly an equine performance I actually believe these days.

I believe I've invested enough of my money and time in this game to have (and state) my opinion.
