No, I just bet SB to win. Not to get too personal but it was a good amount of change.

trying not to get ahead of myself. sloppy track today . RA still has to win the woodward which anything can happen but her getting beaten by this group of older seems impossible as great as she is. you have to just think the BC needs a boot in azz that the BCC is not being run on dirt to solidify RA as one of the greatest

Anyone who listens to that stuff deserves to lose their money. Watchmaker was saying the same thing, that he was concerned about how well he's trained for this. These guys are just giving their opinions and I've always believed that people who rely on the opinions of others and can't trust their own opinions, especially if they've been at it awhile, deserve to lose.

I don't know why he would report that, I heard the opposite. That reminds me of the time when there were reports on High Chaparral looking awful the week of the BC(his 2nd) in which he ran great. Sometimes it's hard to take anything at face value and you just have to do your own work and analysis.

his trainer said, more than once, that summer bird takes a bit to get used to a track. i thought they said his later works looked much better? at any rate, he was certainly discounted much too soon.

Do you think it's possible QR was uneasy before the race because he was already doomed here?

Is this getting a bit old, I have been better and not responding to most of it, but come on man. QR freaked out before the race, he looked like **** before the race, he had a tough trip and never looked comfortable. Not to mention he did not get out ok.
Another topic, does it seem like all todds horses are not getting out of the gate? I think his 2 maidens broke slow today and QR.

you shouldn't take this personally.

quality road was asked too much too soon off the layoff. pletcher sounded less than confident from the beginning. i don't know why anyone would be shocked that he didn't do as well as some thought he would. he's not that super colt people were looking for-more their fault than his i would think.

LOL @ this getting old but your hijacking every thread and making it about Quality Road didn't?

Yeah! As long as he can keep saying the same thing(s) over and over, so shall I!

But it is not getting old. It never gets old!
And, that's my point, he freaked out knowing he had an impossible burden!
