I love this horse |
| 2 weeks 3 days ago | Yeah |
you are totally right - i was confused. Rags had a tough trip again. I hit a real nice score on I'll Have Another - it was one hell of a derby day that I barely remember |

Can't even imagine going to the Derby. That would be amazing. I was there as a kid but not for live races. Only track I've been to for live races is Arlington Park - it was awesome, but nothing like a big race, much less the derby. |

can't really go wrong with Bodemeister. I'm not a speed figure handicapper but anyone who is should be on Bode no doubt. He kinda came on the scene this year and caught everyone off guard with those huge Beyer figures he's been throwing up. I have a rule that I don't take favorites, so he's out for me, but I would not be one bit surprised if he held on to win. He's lightly raced but Baffert trains hard and will have him ready. Will hurt him a little bit that he's inside of the other early speed horses (Hansen and Trinniberg) but he seems like he's plenty good enough to overcome that. I agree with you on Rags as far as what he's shown this year - I'm hoping Pletcher has been gearing him up for his best race to be this one. I have a feeling he wasn't being pushed for his all in the FL derby. But a horse can only have so many "excuses" until he's just not as good a horse as originally thought. I may be a bit sentimental with Rags since I've liked him for a while. Hopefully that doesn't bite me too hard on Saturday. |

I hope I get to see a Triple Crown winner in my lifetime. I was born in '79 a year after Affirmed last did it. I only bet the Triple Crown races and the Breeder's Cup Classic. I just don't have money or time to follow it all year round. I sure love this time of year and the build up to the Derby though. |

Excellent point on Take Charge Indy. Originally I threw him out since Borel is on him the public will probably over-bet him and take away a lot of value. But when I saw the post position he drew my first thought was "man, I have to have him in a couple tickets now". Also he's probably the best-bred horse in the field for this distance. I'm not big into breed-handicapping, but it definitely carries some weight with a lot of people out there. He'd be a good bet but I have so many horses I like I have to draw the line somewhere. Not a bad pick at all though, especially with Borel on his back breaking from the 3 slot. |

This video, combined with the fact that Hoke/Borges must feel great about what they have in Bellomy IF this is a permanent move, makes me 100% ok with this.

thats the first thing I thought too. Far from a sure thing, but I think they could do it. |

I think we take Cravens as whatever the heck he wants to be. At least this is my hope. Kid is just a pure football player. Though, like you said, I beleive he's being recruited as a safety and that is his best position IMO. Just amazing what a stud this kid is. He could be our kicker too and it wouldn't surprise me. |
