Maybe he'll have a career ending injury that's not life threatening and then when he begins to mount the first mare his balls fall off.

Only fitting since the connections have none. Horse shouldn't either.

With the race nearly 3 weeks away, if I was racing secretary at Tampa Bay Downs, I'd pay Bob Baffert $50k to enter The Factor in the Timely Writer.

Maybe he'll even enter Sinai, Jaycito, Da Ruler, or Awesome Patriot on his own.

Not necessarily. Wasn't Brethren 4-5 in the Sam Davis? I can't imagine he'd be more than that if he deputizes for Pletcher in the Tampa Bay Derby.

Won't this mean Dialed In is going to the Tampa Derby now?

It still will be better from the 1-20 on Uncle Mo. And a (likely) full field too.

And then the Florida Derby 22 days later? I would be surprised.

You're probably right.

Still - It would have been 22 days from the Timely Writer to the Florida Derby - I'm not sure shipping to Tampa to face Bretheren is that much more grueling.

I suppose his other options would be to have 29 days between the Gotham and Fla Derby - run in the Fla Derby as a 3rd time starter and Ky Derby as a 4th time starter - or abandon the Fla Derby and use a later final prep.

He's not leaving Florida until after the Florida Derby. It's also worth noting that he was also never running in the Fountain of Youth. Never. Where he goes next, however, I don't know. I imagine Nick will figure it out.

I guess he needs to get an N2X to go with him in it - or just go into the Fla Derby as a 3rd time starter.

I guess...unless you feel like running against Uncle Mo, not killing the horse, and basically giving him a mildly competitive workout.

These days, who knows what matters as horses prepare for the Derby. Certainly not what we used to think mattered.

The Race Disadvantage Woman had me crying with laughter.

Indian Charlie 02-22-2011 04:20 PM

And DrugS gave me crap over posting a link to 2girls 1 cup?

Coach Pants 02-22-2011 04:21 PM

What's wrong with the pic?

Are you new to the internet?
