Apparently, you also believe everything the Graded Stakes Committee tells you.

Can't wait for the Eclipse Awards.

That's when the real racing begins.

Does your brain have a short half-life or something? Every subsequent post is dumber than the previous one.

Good point. 5 or so more from me, and I should have sunk to your level.

Tag-team morons on a horsey forum. Gee, I've never seen that before. How novel.

Oy.

Yeah. Two people that don't buy into your BS. It must be a conspiracy.

Not sure why you're even posting right now seeing how the next significant (ie Grade 1) race isn't until the Kentucky Oaks.

Maybe you can go suck on a lollipop in the meantime...

I'd go along with that and the other poster who said that the horse (who clearly has issues) hadn't really had a break since last summer.

But to say that the Oaklawn is insignificant merely because its a Grade 2 is as preposterous as it gets. Pletcher won the race (while it was a Grade 2) with Lawyer Ron, who later went on a tear and ultimately won the Eclipse as champion handicap horse the same season.

Coincidentally, Pletcher had no problem running Lawyer Ron in the Met Mile in his next start following his Oaklawn win (IIRC he was 3rd to Corinthian).

Yes, but......Lawyer Ron was burned out by the end of his campaign. Pletcher will err on the side of caution in picking QR's spots to see if he can baby him along until November.
