Race was weak but scratched into is a fuking disgrace. 21 for Southwest but 4 for a Prep at Santa Anita.. Come on apoligists, paint that positive. California is no longer relevant on the Derby Trail.

Yep, I figured as much. I wonder what you'll have to say if Creative Cause trains on. Or if Bodemeister and Fed Biz graduate into the stakes ranks. Or if Out Of Bounds progresses from his Sham win. Or if Midnight Transfer stretches out effectively. Or if Liaison rebounds. Or if Secret Circle, Castaway, and Longview Drive do well in your precious Southwest Stakes tomorrow.

Probably something with 'fuk' in it.

Hey Dude... I love guys like you... Dead money Derby day.. Keep betting based upon the product 20 years ago... You and John White... Winner won't come out of Southwest tommorow and it MOST CERTAINLY WON'T COME OUT OF THE DEUCE THEY ARE FEEDING US FROM CALI. I am just looking for Preps to bet and the SH*T you are giving us in So-Cal is certainly not it. So if Secret Circle doesn't prep in Cali going forward do you claim him as a Cali Horse? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BwOXlGbW6Q

So Arkansas is irrelevant now, too?

By the way, who said anything about having to select the winner of the Kentucky Derby? You said that CA horses were irrelevant with regards to the Derby Trail. It was an ignorant line.

MOST CERTAINLY WON'T COME OUT OF THE DEUCE THEY ARE FEEDING US FROM CALI.

Whatever. You laugh at my alleged method of betting the Derby, and yet, here you are in fucl<ing February writing off horses from about 4 or 5 signficant graded stakes (3 of which haven't even been run yet) just because CA racing on a whole is in the dumps. Only a complete dolt would employ that strategy. Call it Dead-brain money on Derby Day. The San Vicente isn't the only 3yo race in CA.

You just have a hard-on for CA racing. I get it, brah. But don't be confused. Love yourself.

Secret Circle trains at Santa Anita, Copernicus. The only reason he's at Oaklawn is because his trainer is so inundated with well-meant 3yos that he has to ship them around. So long as operations like Baffert's call CA home, it will always be relevant on the Derby Trail.

Now go ahead, keep backpedaling and spewing about "product" and Jon White and whatever else you think you need to pile on to cover up your silly initial statement.

You needed to post twice?

Sham= 5 Starters
Lewis =8 Starters (Adequate)

With regards to CA's relevancy on the Derby Trail, it hasn't.

Where were you for the Sham and the Robert Lewis? Where will you be for the San Felipe and the Santa Anita Derby?

You're using a 7f stakes run in late February to negate a whole crop (and all future crops) of horses.

That's a dumb fuking platform.

Nice to see someone get his name right. I always want to fix it when people get it wrong - probably cause everyone gets mine wrong and so it bugs me!

Why don't I go away now?
