[taxicab]

Talk about being on the bubble.
Steve Asmussen has runners 21-24.

interesting facts that probably most players know but I don't....btw, this is not a jab at Justify.

Interesting stuff that makes you think twice about what I think are probably at least half of everyone's top ten and maybe even top five. On the other hand like the odds board, horses can't read this stuff and it's hard to throw out anything trained by Pletcher and Baffert. This article didn't address it, but a person should probably throw out Mendelssohn too, since no UAE
winner has ever won the KD.

I'm sticking with :


Only horse that ran 1-3/16 and crushed em'. He is going to break that UA Derby curse!............................unless he gets a bad post.

Speaking of my new favorite horse, where is he?....Is he back in the States? I would prefer he was in Kentucky breathing their air.


Look at him! He is a very fit animal. Muscles on his muscles....Looks like Hagler in His prime.

Back in Ireland, will ship very late like O'Brien runners normally do.

He might end up being very good but I think Justify just needs more races and definitely don't like that he has never left Ca. and S.A.

The field size question was the big one in my mind before reading the article and was not surprised to see it mentioned. With this year's Derby, if Justify wins I lose.

If Mendelssohn wins (late shipper angle), I lose.

Those are just two trends that I play against typically.

I have loved Firenze Fire since last year, but think the distance and two turns is really not his game after watching him this year (one turn miler).

That leaves me with 17 others right now.
