What was the over/under on the time it would take any random thread to turn into RA v Zenyatta?

Just depends on whether CSC or Smooth Operator happen to be online. It can be as soon as one post or as late as several pages later....all depending on what is going on in their respective lives that keep them away from DT.

But if they're here, you can be sure it will happen. More often with the latter, but that's just splitting hairs.

So they finish 2,3 and 2 with three different horses but by Travers day maybe the best three year old in the barn may be Miner's Reserve.

Does anybody know his BSF for the 1 1/16 mile race on Monday?

He got a 98. Our Dark Knight got a 94 finishing 2nd in the Spend A Buck at Monmouth and may have some upside.

Did he say anything about the ride of Fly Down? I'll need to watch it back again, but from the first look, it sure looked bad from the far turn on. He swings out sooner, he gets up.

Or maybe it's my biased eyes, since I had money on him.

I thought the same thing -- Fly Down could have won this one. Then again, I also had him to win so I could be a little biased, too.

who really expected ice box to run good? i didn't. that horse had no shot with the horses and pace entered....he was an easy toss at 8-5. i had fly down and first dude so the winner costed me.....johny v is just is not what he used to be....he comes in second too much and got out ridden by mike smith of all people. biased a little too, but i thought the ride in a race where you have to be aggressive more times than not.........STUNK! and i hate dissing jockies but watch the replay.
