stop, I pointed that out in another thread and got crickets in response.
look, socal horses are not nearly as deep as they used to be, but the contentions posted by Kim are just absurd and wreek of bias.
I was not really impressed by anything this past weekend and if Tiago is 30/1 in the derby I would use him, but he wont be.
What I find absolutely mind boggling is why people are not more estatic with Tiago, and Giacomo to an extent. Its a reason why Barbaro was 6/1 instead of about 7/2 last year.
Its the Giacomo Syndrome, where horses with little chance are wildly overbet becuase they are long shots in these triple crown races. Remember the preakness after the derby giacomo won, all the horses were less then 20/1, even going wild who ran dead last in the derby was like 18/1.
I think seeing longshots win is a very good thing. It helps odds in future races and maybe, just maybe gets a few trainers out of the barn and take a chance, instead of waiting and scratching like frankel does, or even worse was spwar scratching bordonaro last weekend for a bad post.
