I AM CASHING,BUT NOT FOR MUCH. Never fails that these animals respond the race after I tout them.Had him singled and G HUNTER IN P3 LAST TIME,AND now he fires.

Scuds, that's always how it is.

i cant belive he won, lol i have been saying for a week i liked him and i did but i thought he'd run a big second but for him to win, i think $ wise this might be one of the biggest scores i have ever had/

SCUDSBROTHER 04-07-2007 04:59 PM

Point did back him this week.I wanted to back him up,but horse has been f'n me with screwdriver whenever I write about him.Same as Giacomo.I make money,but not what I should.Trainer is sooooo tricky.

Merlinsky 04-07-2007 05:01 PM

Oh I'm so excited for the horse and connections. I won't call my feelings about him a 'tout' by any means as I didn't feel obligated to call him out, it was more a "I'd love it if this horse did good" based on who his relation is and his people. That isn't the same as "watch him kick butt"... I had a feeling today specifically when Mike was all 'he's got more speed than Giacomo' that it would perhaps bode extremely well for him at some point. Whatever else happens, good for him.

I've got a few horses that I don't necessarily have as my idea for winning the Derby purely on talent but I definitely have a soft spot should they get it done. Does that make sense to anybody?

lol

congrats scuds...he looked good today! i was concerned when i saw how much he was washing out, but he was much the best.

Let's all not forget what an excellent race King of the Roxy ran. He was wide and ran a negative number last time, was stretching---and still ran well. Nice horse.

Helluva ride by Mikey. Reminiscent of the Derby with Giacomo.

SCUDSBROTHER 04-07-2007 05:08 PM

He has much more speed than Giacomo,but been giving it up after making big middle moves.Classic blinkers off/lets- relax- boy move.Mikey just fits these connections(understands trainers methods etc.)

Whatever he beat and however long it took him to do so notwithstanding, the horse is a Grade 1 winner and Derby bound.

The Mike Simth quote is absolutely priceless.

he was my pick in this race, thought he was going to get it done...he answered the question about 9f-altho he didn't win, he still looked pretty good. but can he get the 10f? we know tiago can, same dam as giacomo and pleasant tap as the sire, he'll handle the distance derby day just fine.

Did he wash out? I was watching golf,and just barely switched over and made token bet.

between his back legs, had sweat running down his legs. no worries tho! he looked calm enough, just sweating like mad behind.

Coach Pants 04-07-2007 05:14 PM

His win just proves that i'm a chickenshit gambler. Hating myself right now.

he who? he tiago or he king of the roxy?

i'd say tiago has the better shot of the two. tiago has the right breeding, and if the race sets up right, and he gets the right trip, yeah he can win.

king of the roxy--i wouldn't pick him to win it.

i'm leaning towards great hunter....been following hard spun all spring, but just because i thought he was a nice colt, not that i thought he was future derby material. if he shows up, i'll pull for him-but i think great hunter is the one to beat.
cowtown cat is one to watch as well. i like distorted humor, and we know he can sire a derby horse-but i question his bottom half.

plenty of time between now and cinqo de mayo...a lot can happen.

things are really starting to get interesting!
