Dear Dubai apologists...

I'm really annoyed at what happened to Papa Clem.

By the way, did anyone else find it really weird how Thorn Song was ridden in the early part of the stretch drive?

Was he asleep? Did he not want to hit the board? I don't understand these things, the nonsensical things that go through these pinheads tiny little brains.

Sorry, I was still too livid over Gomez's ride on Visit to notice.

I actually cashed tickets on the Derby, BTW--4 $3 consos on the KO/WR/KD pick-3. Hooray!

Yeah, Visit could have helped my cause. Gomez had it in for me today I think.

He's a terrible fit for her.

I'd love to see them let her go to the lead, like she obviously wants!

I hate jockeys. That's probably more Frankelfuk's fault more than Gomez, but still.

And why did they put Frankel's dog in a dress and show it on TV? Was Willaim Wegman directing the broadcast?

You mean Bethany Frankelfuk?

Ick.

What kind of name is Bethany for a dog?

I dunno but Bethenny is catchy. Her parents can't spell. Give her a break.

Maybe Pletcher and the Dubai folk can team up for a 10 million dollar super-over-hyped inexperienced horse next year. Cant wait

Frankel's barn is in a deep funk and has been for months. Notice that Stardom Bound's form took a nosedive after she was moved to Frankel?

Wow. That couldn't be more ridiculous.

If it was his barn that did her in, wouldn't she have improved when moved into Dutrow's care for the Ashland?

Come back with these statements when they go 0-20+ like Pletcher in the Derby..

[Bobby Fischer]

Apparently Mine That Bird is a Muslim. I don't know how I feel about that...

[NoChanceToDance]

Godolphin haven't got the know how to win a Derby, and the way it looks over here suggests they no longer know how to win a british classic either.

I had to laugh today when I saw that Crisford has said that Devotee will be taken to America as they think she's more suited to dirt.

Do they even know what they are doing?

You have to be kidding, mac.

If I gave Pletcher half the money these drape-wearing dopes have squandered on their Derby ambitions over the past decade, he'd have won at least 3 or 4 Derbies by now, if only inadvertantly.

On a ROI basis there is probably no other failure in the history of sport that approaches the Derby efforts of these clowns. Frank Stronach's race track management and growth plan looks positively visionary in comparison. The Yankees would have to sign 250 Carl Pavanos in a row to get into their league. Dan Synder is a sports wunderkind by the standard they have set.

You should be laughing your ass off at their futility in this endeavor, and reveling in their frustration. It proves Allah humbles us all.

youre correct, all Pletcher has had is garbage in his barn these last few years..

you have an agenda here against the Sheiks so I'm not going to bother.
