Just what we need, another feel good guy....Like Nakatini. I swear, when he is feeling good, best jock out there, but when his feeling are down, no effort

To add another post from me on this thread

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS P6 IS PAYING TO EVERYONE BUT THE BOMBS. I think I have 1 winner of the sequence. Shocking, I thought for sure this was going to carry

I think we can all agree on one thing tonight, that Talamo has discovered a hot chick in L.A. this is screwing with his head. At least we have that going into tomorrow. Be sure to check out the 2 yr old Stakes at Churchill tomorrow, Asmussen has like 3 entries and Pletcher has 1. Good-night all.

I know it's Steve Knapp but the betting public is crazy to let Milady's Pride go off at such high odds in this crap field.

Alright the only reason I'm still up is because the Marlins can't close the door on the freaking Dodgers!

Yeah that was a Steve Knapp performance. Just horrible. I don't know why this guy has a license.

I don't know if I trust Talamo on Nashoba's Key tommorow anymore.

But here is a classic example of why I don't totally blast the riders for what trouble happens during these races.
Some years back, on FOX, the Whitney at Saratoga was covered and Ron Ellis was one of the analysts. As soon as the race was over he wasted zero time raggin' on Jorge Chavez for moving 5 wide on the turn in a race Behrens lost narrowly to Victory Gallop ( correct me if I have the race and either runner's name wrong, this had to be more than 7 years ago now ).
Chavez's only other option was to try to find room between or inside a bunch of longshots everyone knew were going to stop running way before midstretch. One of the other analysts instantly corrected him.
I bring this up because I've noticed on more than one occassion, recently on TVG, the paddock microphone has picked up Ellis giving instructions to his riders.
The common theme among every one of the sessions is Ellis has a huge problem with the idea of being any further than 2 wide on the turns. And a lot of those times he has horses with no post on the inner half of the field and come from no closer than mid pack.
Sometimes, that's just not realistic. A rider with far more years in the game might just go ahead and let the horse do their best running, if he thinks the trainers instructions won't work. Talamo probably won't try that yet, working for a client who has helped him succeed first season on a new circuit.
I think if she was 3-4 wide thru out, I had a better shot of cashing my win ticket. So I was biting my bottom lip thruout that final 1/2 mile too.
The warning is out: know this everytime we bet on an Ellis trainee.

We'll get'em again :D

Frankel is another that hates when his riders go wide.

I think Talamo's funk is suddenly over. Two Grade 1's today.

seems like he was able to handle the pressure. won not only on NK but also on Bilo. Two GR1's ont he same card.
the kid is good.

Real good, and Bilo really had no business winning

Frogman strikes again

Just read in todays DRF (hard copy) that Bianconne was fined $1500 for not notifying the stewards that Lady of Venice was racing with Lasix.

-bt-

I wonder if Lasix masks cobra venom :rolleyes:

i'm starting to really dislike all the shenanigans with this guy.
