Automatic disqualification by order of the stewards on the recommendation of the track psychotherapist.

Caracortado won a 9f race restricted to FL- and CA-breds. At least we know Free's not being subsidized by Jenny Craig (the way Jay Hovdey was by the Moss's), else he would have reserved that mantle for her other run-off, Sidney's Candy.

I know. Talmo should stick with Fluke. Horse can run.

The only problem seems to be that Fluke only runs once every 6 months. How likely is it he'll show for the Kilroe?

Someone should take the ankle monitor off of Gary Tanaka.

Then at least the hard knocker Proudinsky would probably make a few more starts per year.

If there is a best horse in America, that horse wouldn't have wins in only 1 state.

He's not very good.

He didn't dominate the Malibu in any way, shape, or form.

His race yesterday was good but, as has been said already, he has to beat someone better than Dweebster before he's crowned the best horse on the face of the earth.

Who would he need to beat? Twirling Candy would rip Morning Line's guts out. Morning Line is awesome his heart is amazing he just isnt fast enough. He now has lost to Dakota Phone and Giant Oak while running his A race!

I guess I was right.

You've repressed the memory of the Goodwood.

These run off types that never learn to rate and use their natural ability as learned sometimes dont figure it out race one. But you knew that you simply didnt believe that Twirling Candy would "get it" but now he sits garden stalking trips and rates with ease. Imagine that John where's Yoko?

Apparently you repressed the first half mile of the Strub as well.

The more you dig the deeper the hole gets.. Again,learning is a process. So while the Goodward was bad and the Strub was rough the San Anton was better and the Cap will be even better. maybe I can make it easier for you to understand FlippO the more he does it the better he gets. Does that work for you?

I'll just ignore your massive botch of Twirling Candy's career (the San Antonio was yesterday--he wasn't in it).

Its not a case of the more "he does it, the better he gets", it's "the less he faces, the better he looks". It's a matter of him finding his friends. Note he has not beaten older horses. In that regard, he hasn't shown any dramatic improvement yet, either.

I don't see much of a difference between the Goodwood Twirling Candy and the Strub Twirling Candy.

If someone wants to break it down for me other than the deluded Number 1 Fan Freddy (next he'll be attributing some of Sidney's Candy's accomplishments to Twirling Candy), I'll be happy to listen.

A lot of very well respected and highly qualified people other then I don't concur with your flippy self serving reverse engineered swill.

Couldn't rate... learns

Couldn't turn ...Does

Couldn't run two turns..easily

Now its "can't do against a certain quality of horse".. i guess if those horses never materialize you can never consider yourself incorrect.. How convienient John

The only thing I was wrong about was that he wasn't fast enough early to press Smiling Tiger in the Malibu.

He'll be cutback to sprints and flat miles by year's end, maybe then he'll realize his full potential (ie, a placing in the BC Sprint).

I like how you use being able to negotiate the clubhouse turn without taking out half the field as some sort of landmark in a horse's career. Laughable.

Haven't you already repp'd him as the easy winner of the Big Cap now Fippy if you wins the Big Cap you are off the hook because you posted as such(naturally will get the reversed engineered banter of kaka) or if by some chance he losses the Big Cap you will be glorious in your plan b cut back theory.. Do you always bet heads and tails and lay 6/5 on coin flips flippy. Way to cover your butt wins the Big Cap or will be cutting back can we add will be show jumping somewhere I like how you use being able to negotiate the clubhouse turn without taking out half the field as some sort of landmark in a horse's career. Laughable.I though we covered this but I guess you can get off the cant turn run off easier then a jock.

Are there any other predictions you would like to make?
