And Casino Drive won the Peter Pan, with a great trip, getting a 99 Beyer.

Maybe you should get the beyer correct and then you can comment.

They moved it up two points. Well, that certainly makes all the difference in the world.

Out of curiousity, after Casino Drive tanks in the Belmont, will you be slinking out the back door or changing your name to Mien?

I don't need to slink out any door. He will win, go back to Japan, and then take on Curlin. BB will lose and the excuse will be a mysterious injury and he will be retired.

As for the beyer, they did move it up 2 points but they should have moved in up 7 points. There claim that the track got that much faster was nonsense. He did it in his second career start off a long layoff after quarantine. Only exceptional animals can do that.

Someone had to take the pressure off Harding and Cheswick.

My God dude he was at almost a crawl when passed the finish line. Kent spent more than 1/2 race looking between his legs and under his arms. Never has a horse won with such ease in the Preakness. After the race he wasn't even breathing hard, throwing his head around kicking and sqealling like a 2 year old.

Actually, I think BTH is the tatood lady I saw at the county fair last year. I mean really, it's one thing to have an opinion and quite another to claim to know about "mysterious injuries". How do you expect anyone to believe anything you say?

It is funny how Robby Albarado also agrees with me.

Albarado said. “Frankly, there were at least four 3-year-olds last year who were as good as Big Brown if not better. Street Sense, Hard Spun, Any Given Saturday and Curlin.”

Setting aside the general hilarity of your posts, you are making the usual mistake that internet buffoons make......using a Beyer figure as gospel when it suits your argument ( Big Brown is slow because he ran a 100 ) but then explaining why a Beyer figure is inaccurate when it doesn't suit your argument ( Casino Drive is better than Big Brown ). Of course, if you really wanted to understand figs and racing, instead of just screeching for attention, you could have brought up that while the 100 figure for Big Brown works well for Icabad Crane and his past, it comes up 7 to 15 points light for a number of other horses in the race. Now, I think the number works, as the track appeared consistent during the day, unlike the Belmont surface on Peter Pan day when any competent figure maker understands that there was a split variant.

I think the three year old crop is the worse in years but continuing to put down BIG BROWN only diminishes CASINO DRIVE if he happens to beat him.

No. I am not putting down Big Brown. Just saying he isn't even as good as any of the top 3yr olds from last year. So to say he is great is hilarious.

You should. You've done enough.
