Dear haters and assorted bitter people...
 

Can Stay Thirsty finally get a little respect now?

I will still say he was big underlay today, but certainly proved myself and many others wrong in a strong performance. And the 3-year-olds once again keep taking turns.

Probably not but I stuck with him too!:)

YES! Good for Thirsty.

:$:
:tro:

Mo is in his stall sulking.;)

I'm going to apologize to him for not thinking he was good on his facebook page.

Score one for the 2nd bananas, the younger brothers and sisters who found it hard to measure up at times. :D

Is it redboarding to say I had the tri if I posted it here and always play my picks?

Well **** it i did and am happy and thank you Mr. Thirsty, Sir. You are just as good as that other horse.

his win validates a sorry crop of 3 yr olds, the whole world has surpassed America

Thank you Debbie Downer.

on behalf of debbie's everywhere, i object.

Ditto.:D

Nice work!

I always gave him respect.

“If I ever wanted a win for a horse, this is the horse,” said Mike Repole, who owns both Stay Thirsty and Uncle Mo, last year’s 2-year-old champion. “Stay Thirsty wanted me to let you guys know he’s not Uncle Mo’s stablemate anymore. He’s 2011 Jim Dandy winner, and that’s how he wants to be addressed from now on."

Sure thing, Mikey:wf

I think they should check Mikey's bloodwork...........wow. :zz:

That is an aswesome quote and for anyone who doesn't agree, much as I may love you (Kev and MaTHie) , c'mon remember fun? He's excited and having fun and that's a breath of fresh air. He seems like a kid at Christmas and i love that kinda thing coming from any owner.

Thanks, Dunbar, and yeah Kingie I know...:)

If he really wanted to get Stay Thirsty out of Uncle Mo's shadow he'd give him his own Faceboook page. ;)

Ditto!

Fantastic work on hitting that tri! :$: :$:

Thanks, sistah! :)

Fun? Hello...I'm the guy with ENG CHAN still on his license plate. Repole just rubs me wrong cause he's worth a gazillion bucks and I'm not.

Reminds me of Scorpion. Not the Coolmore one.

At least the Jim Dandy wasn't a Grade 1 this time.

I'm happy I had $2.00 to win and place on him.

:tro:

Mike Repole is proof positive that America sucks.

I'm not sure whether it's a validation of his improvement or a statement on this crop of 3YO's that Stay Thirsty earned the highest BSF for a 3YO routing so far this year on Saturday. Since I've been a Repole fan from the get-go, I'm going to hope it's the former rather than the latter.

Cardus... sorry but you're, respectfully, being a tad presumpteous here.

(I was gonna start this reply with whoa don't be a drama queen but figured you'd get mad).:D

You're acting like you know exactly who I was talking about.

Stay Thirsty has put in a few really good runs now but he is always overshadowed by something... it's like whatever he does it's not quite good enough.

There are probably more posts about him (sucking) in the Florida Derby (he was what, 7th?) and in THE Derby (12th) than his 2nd in the Belmont (and certainly in the Hopeful).

(For the record I did refrain from doing a nah nah na nah nah thread after Belmont. I'm a moron, I know).

He's not a world beater or anything but i was really so happy that he won here and remember him being called, well.... names... so why not?

Other 3 years olds are ****ing annointed all the time... he's just a pretty nice horse. What's the harm?

We don't always see eye to eye but hey i stil remember you talking about Mustard and hitting that huge score years ago with him and Dance the Waves. I may not always agree with you but I do respect you and if I were gonna call you in particular a hater i would do it directly and not in a vague way (cause you're a man and I think you could handle it).

(Unlike a few others here...) :eek: :p

I called Stay Thirsty a pig and I also made an ass of myself when Steve Haskin said he liked him on At the Races on Friday. Oh well, I'd do the same thing next time. I was wrong, it happens.

I could list the horses I was wrong about but would be here all day.

(I should probably apologize to Curlin right about now)...

Steve Crist called him "a solid citizen" on the NYRA Talkng Horses show on Sunday. :D

I like that a lot. :)

:tro::tro::tro: good call,,,,thats the way it is around here...if you are not on the bandwagon you are usually dirt on this board. don't ever doubt the "in" crowds horses or speak highly of the ones they hate or you too could be a hater.......lol...at least this horse was not the usual 6-5 shots they love.....

:confused:

Mr. Pinwheel, Sir, I always defend you because of your touching 360 which I will never forget (or that's the way I think of it anyway)...

I'm not in anyones crowd and I usually like the older, slower horses so I'm kinda hoping I'm taking this a little personally cause that's my nature and not cause you're slamming me a teensy bit.

If you are though, it's cool. I still love you.

G,

Don't waste a lot of energy. That was his last post. I've had enough of this endlessly insufferable putz...

Those elevating themselves via collective invective towards everyone else here aren't welcome... If the opinions of DTers are so beneath him or others, they won't miss being a part of the community the vast majority seems to relish.

Surely you are used to that.

;)

Aw man, I was kinda hoping you'd wait till after the King's Bishop :(

Only 70-75% of the time.

Gotcha, Mr. Boss Man and oh...

... this is a great line,

Eternal smoochies,

mmsc (and Stay Thirsty :D)

We'd all be here for awhile. ;) I don't mind being wrong about a horse as long as it's b/c they're better than I thought. Always frustrating when they're worse. Who doesn't want to see a great performance? I'm sure the preference is for it to come from horses you've bet on, of course.

Don't sweat it. You picked the right sport for contrarian opinions: when they pay off, they pay off big at the windows. Then you can laugh all the way to the bank.

Great post -- I can completely relate to it.

I enjoy seeing a horse outrun his reputation, show a totally unexpected turn of foot, or return to the winner's circle when most thought that he/she was past his/her prime. Even when I don't get to cash a ticket on them. If one is a fan of the equine athlete -- how could one not get a charge out of it?
