Mine That Bird
 
The owners said on TVG that he was leaning towards not running in the Travers.

Did anyone else see the guy? He was wearing a Cowboy hat and what looked like a Raiders offensive lineman football jersey.

He talks like he has been kicked in the head by those quarter horses too many times.

I dont put any stock into anything the guy says.
After he said his A.P. Indy maiden had a shot to win the preakness.

I hope he runs, but will he make any impact? I may be wrong, but I think Quality Road has as much talent as any top 3yr old we have had recently. I hope its a big field, and I pray Rachel runs to improve the odds on QR.

He is one funny looking dude.

Possible to PA Derby. WHy not? Why run against QUality Road when you can collect a nice check down here against the B team?

Why not run against him? He is her only legit competition right now. I feel strong that he would defeat her. Zenyatta is more then likely not coming to race her, so why not have the big showdown next Saturday? If they both go next Saturday, when is the last time we have had a showdown like this?
Dare I say, Ten Most Wanted vs Peace Rules?

Surely you are talking about Quality Road.

MTB vs. RA is not a showdown.

Of course I am talking about Quality Road. MTB is a plodder IMO. Who had favorable set up's in his wins. He will win again, because he is a gelding and has handled poly, but he's not in QR's league.

LOL, I hope you are kidding. A showdown?

Quality Road vs Rachel would dwarf this. They're both a zip code better than either Ten Most and Peace Rules. Those 2 have already been forgotten and for the record, it was hardly a showdown.

Who's the shim you are talking about. Guy? Girl? Which is it?

What I said was, why run against QR and other better competition in the Travers when you can cash an easier check, if he's good enough, in the PA Derby?

omg, Gander chill out. I have to assume you are the only one who did not realize I was just messing around. LOL. Come on man....

Okay, it was a joke. Good one.

I wouldnt mind seeing Rachel run in the Woodward either. Against the very freaky Cool Coal Man, when in the mood, is brilliant.

you better hope Rachel doesnt run or you will lose your money. IF she didnt win the race over Quality Road.. they would burn each other out and a closer would win.

Just wanted to check. Your post sounded a lot like you were referring to MTB.

QR does not need the lead, Warriors Reward is my price play.

I saw the interview and the amazing thing is that TVG's talking head - Mike Joyce - didn't even acknowledge the owner's comments. He wouldn't know a story if one fell on him. Allen did say that MTB would likely return to New Mexico and begin BC preparations. Since they have committed to parading him before the All American Derby, I think it's reasonable to believe that the PA Derby is not being considered.

this is all very confusing :confused: :confused:

run him somewhere (as long as he's okay)
