Good question. I certainly would not run her in the Breeders Cup and instead look for a much easier Grade 1 race for her against three year old fillies going a mile and an eighth. Wait, I think I've found the perfect spot for her......The Queen Elizabeth II at Kenneland. And yes indeed the score is all square at 1-1..

Wait a minute? Pure Clan is allowed to run in the BC but Backseat Rhythm is not? That's a tough opinion to back.

NT

when did I ever mentioned the word "allowed"? I was asked a hypothetical question and simply provided my opinion. I love it when "Serling" states his opinion on this board and 95% of those posting here think he is the Derby Trail Messiah and can't question his opinions.

Also, I'm guessing most of you who witnessed the questionable trip Pure Clan had to overcome today had no consequences on the outcome of todays race.

Newsflash idiot.....it's 1 3/8 miles.

Pure Clan had an easier trip today and still lost.....BR owned her today and will continue to kick her ass.

I certainly dont think anyone is a "messiah" of any kind although in this case i wish i did because i then would have cashed today on this race. Instead, i am holding worthless paper with the 1 on top.

I brought this topic back up because I remembered it from a few weeks ago. If Pure Clan would have won, someone would most likely have pulled this topic back up and asked BTW if he still felt Backseat Rhythm was better than Pure Clan. I thought it only fair to bring it back up as I originally disagreed with him.

Going into today i didnt even think it was close between the two horses. Obviously I was wrong.

To say that Backseat Rhythm shouldnt at least take a shot at the BC really doesnt make much sense to me unless there is some crazy freak euro coming over. If Pure Clan is going to be the favorite, i think that they would be foolish not to at least give it a shot.

It's 1 3/8 according the the BC website. . .

Not according to the BC website.

This person is still an idiot.



Dahoss dont ever doubt me.........

Backseat Rhythm will most likely go to the QE II and not the BC. Pure Clan will probably get another shot at her there. Pure Clan wasn't best today but perhaps Keeneland will be another story.

It was nice to see the IEAH people congratulate Paul Pompa, who owns Backseat Rhythm, immediately after today's race. It seems they surpassed the petty jealousy your post exuded. But, maybe I just read it wrong.

What am I missing? I stated a couple of weeks ago that I thought Backseat Rhythm was possibly better than Pure Clan. They met today, Pure Clan was even money to Backseat Rhythm's virtual 5:1, and Backseat Rhythm won. No big deal....I'm certainly wrong much more often than I'm right. However, how does that justify you taking a cheap shot at me?

And, furthermore, why is my name in quotes? I mean, I can take the cheap shots, but not the misuse of punctuation.

....wow, her getting beat today by half a length has convinced you of who is a better horse? Even though last out we beat BR by 5 1/4? Another 1/16 today and PC would have drawn away past her. Even if Pure clan had to readjust back to her correct lead off the brush.

I appologize...it was the heat of the moment. I need a refresher course on a lot of my proper punctuation usage.

No problem.

But, by the way, being the Derby Trail Messiah is not exactly a compliment. I probably deserve the moniker, but it's kind of like being the smartest kid in the.......well, you know.
