Whose fault is it that he got knocked around a little?

So he waits, and Coa keeps him pinned. You don't "hope" they let you out when you're on the big favorite in a race, because they won't.

Big Brown was never settled until he got outside, which between at that point and the far turn, it was realized the horse was empty anyway.

His, for not getting out of the gate quick enough to gain position of both Da' Tara and Tale of Ekati.

Breaks and posts matter, no matter what the distance.

And in a 6 furlong race, that would be a problem. But at a mile and a half on the dirt, at some point, there's gonna be an opening. Look what happened in the Preakness. Edgar tried to pin him in, and Kent just calmly took Big Brown back and guided him to the outside. In the Belmont, there was nothing calm about Kent's move.

Also, this still doesn't explain the prostate exam that Big Brown almost performed on Da Tara.

Sort of like the Cool Minute Man in the last race at Louisiana Downs on Sunday. :mad:

Horse killed me by costing me the double.

Look how upset and personal you are getting about a friendly disagreement over a horse race. I mean, who does that?

Coach Pants 06-11-2008 11:22 AM

I'm going to start charging a fee for using my jokes.

Hey did you hear the joke about BB goin up D'tara's ass ?

Coach Pants 06-11-2008 11:33 AM

To me it looked like Big Brown cross-fired around the first turn. From there on out I just knew that he was sore because I could see him grimacing halfway down the backstretch.

Perhaps you should consider the source of his anger.


While you may be an ok guy outside of here, you REALLY come off as an annoying person who cant admit when he's wrong...who takes the high road when you are wrong.


Go back and read your arguments with me and hoss...you backtrack /change your wording over and over.


Cant really take anything you say serious.

Dahoss

Again, you have successfully managed to ignore my entire argument, and at the same time toss in a few of your own irrelevant points.

I don't know you, so I can't say if you are a smart guy or not. But you are one of the worst arguers I have ever debated. You simply fail to respond directly to the points of others, and you frequently make points of your own that have nothing to do with the discussion. You do this constantly.
