Albertrani
 
Interview after the Classic lasted about two minutes. Whatever the question, his answer always congratulated the winner saying his colt got beat by a horse who ran a better race. Class act.

agreed, very classy. No sour grapes or excuses.

I actually think he was really surprised he finished 2nd, Bern looked like crap on the backstretch.......

oracle80 11-05-2006 09:03 PM

What was he gonna say? I got outrun and outtrained? Because that is EXACTLY what happened on Saturday folks, exactly.
He had the benefit of Invasor "having a fever, LOL" and being forced to miss his last prep, while getting Bern his, and Invasor lost tons of ground on a track that was favoring rail running speed and Invasor blew by him with ease.
Kiarin fed him and the most sickeningly overglorified horse in history his nuts for dinner. It was truly a beautiful thing to behold.

More overglorified, relative to accomplishment, than circular quay?????

As was I. As soon as I saw Javy shake the irons I tore up my Pick 3 ticket. I nearly **** myself when he actually moved on the outside...

Maybe next year.

But as for Albertrani, in the past year I've grown to just admire and respect a lot of guys in the industry but maybe none more than Tom Albertrani and Edgar Prado.

we can debate whether or not Bern was overrated, but Oracle,
i think FuPeg will always own the title you just described.

hell,
that horse went off as the fav in a BCC also, and got beat by tons more.

Oracle is the same guy who was gushing over Bernardini at Saratoga.......the best three year old he's seen in a long time. LOL Love those hypocrites.

Albertrani has more class in his pinky than ............fill in the blank. What does it say about someone when they get their jollies heckling a classy guy like Tom?

repent 11-05-2006 10:03 PM

Mike can defend himself,
but anyone who thinks Albertrani did not get out trained needs to have their head examined.

Invasor overcame a clear bias and was much the best on Sat despite the layoff due to missed training time.
the trainer deserves credit for that.

and I say this as someone totally impressed with the year that Bern and Albertrani put together.

Since the way you are talking, the ability and talent of the horse doesn't matter, just who trains who better. I think McLaughlin is a tremendous trainer, but wasn't Henny hughes up the track? Was he out trained by Doug O'Neill? Did Albertrani out the other 12 trainers in the Classic? Don't get this logic.

you are typing and assuming a bunch of things about my comments that are incorrect.

are you Albertrani's shoe shiner or something?

stop reading things into my words that are not there.

Bernardini clearly did not run his best race of the year on Saturday.
invasor clearly did.
McLaughlin and his team had their horse ready.
that is what i typed.
stop getting so damn emotional about it.
you must be a chic.

I am sort of consused here. Invasor is the one that got over to the rail before the first turn. Invasor raced inside of Dini the entire time until the final turn. Then he swung wider than Dini was running. The middle of the track where Dini was the worse. The inside rail was the best and then about 6-8 path was the next best. Not sure how Albertrani got out-trained. If losing a race means you got out-trained then every trainer got out-trained by 8 trainers. That is stupid to think. In addition, losing to a horse that has 9 wins, (now) 4 Grade I wins isnt that bad. Dini still beat 12 other horses rather easily.

Of course McLaughlin had his horse ready, he's a great trainer. And Albertrani had his as well. And it was wise of you to back up, since obviously you had nothing of substance to say. And no I'm not a "chic", and I'm not getting emotional, if you want to post crap, expect to have it put in your face.

I did not back up on anything moron.

I typed what I typed.

Invasor ran the best race of his year on Sat.
Bern did not.
trainer deserves credit for that.

to read anything more into what I typed is incorrect.

you are a moron.
read into that what you want.

So the trainer is 100% responsible for how a horse is going to perform on any given day??? Come on brother--that is almost laughable to think. Maybe Dini was in a bad mood, maybe he had a headache, maybe he was scared--we have no clue what is going on in the horses head. But if you think it is the trainers fault because a horse doesnt run his/her best on a certain day then you need some help. These horses arent machines.

when you have the best horse in the race and get beat while running below his normal effort,
then yeah,
you probably got out trained.
everyone gets held accountable to their results.
