I cant help it
 
http://news.bloodhorse.com//viewstory.asp?id=41012

I actually owned the 1/2 brother to this horse who died at 2 from colitis X before he ever got a chance to run. The colt by Jules had worked lights out and was about ready to run when stricken.

These guys, however, have been hitting the moonshine if they actually they stand a chance against Street Sense or Hard Spun.

I would consider it sanity as opposed to hate

“These are the best 3-year-olds in the nation, so you’ve gotta say, ‘Oh, man!’ But anybody can be beat on any given day,” says Jim Hayer

Rich.

Of course, he means if his horse can somehow bridge the 10-15 length gap between his horse's best race in the past year and the average race of either of the two big contenders, then yes, sure -- they have a chance.

His horse runs his regular race, and he's looking at more like 16-20.

Poor Stream Cat. No love for predictions of a win, and no love on predictons for last.

Looks like just about the most solid third-place finish LOCK of my entire life.

I'm not making any bold predictions, BUT his last race was MUCH better than it appeared.

"The story gets better. If Cat Shaker runs well in the Classic, Callis wants to take him to the Breeders’ Cup"

What Section of Monmouth are they letting you bring pets into?

"He won't back down"

I wonder if Nafzger knows about this.

The only problem with this guy is that almost ALL of his races are suspiciously good. Going into the Million, the guy had basically run the fastest sheet numbers of the entire field.

He's been running "better" races than the PP lines would lead you to believe, but he's been doing that for some time now.

He can get the job done on someone else's ticket for now, I'm sick of chasing him waiting for that time when he'll actually win when his sheet numbers keep coming up crazy strong for the fields he's running against.

The horse should just scratch. Hell...the connections are crazy for racing their horse. WTF are they thinking? Don't they know that the graded stakes this year have been overflowing with competitors? Why the nerve of these smack talking sportsmen.

Losing is not acceptable in this sport. And, by god, if your horse doesn't have less than a 20-1 shot of winning the race then you absolutely must scratch.
The consequences if you race your horse? People on an internet message board will laugh at you.

it's nice to see the "field" get some press. i wish them well.
