What's the point again of knocking a horse coming off an injury?

looks like a nice race.
hope they all run.

They are both a bit of a question mark to me. Is Tiz done, or did he just need a race? Why the hell did they put him in the Dandy?? Can EZ get 8 furlongs? Can EZ break cleanly for once?

The point is to share actual insights on horse racing. It's not as though he said something outlandish like " can you imagine a trainer, any trainer, running a horse off a tendon injury at 1 1/8th miles, against the Kentucky Derby winner, without a race in over eight months? "

I'll take a stand.......I say Tiz Miserable has had it and will be really up against it Wednesday.

Wow, picking against a horse coming off an injury is really insightful. Calling a horse Tiz Miserable is handicapping genius.

That decision certainly baffled me but I have to imagine if Asmussen did that he doesn't think the horse is done and wouldn't have waited so long to rule out the Travers with him. While you could certainly be right I think the horse will run well here.

I see what you're saying but I think he may have just been looking for a Travers horse since he wasn't planning on bringing Curlin. . . I thought Tiz Wonderful was going to win the derby after his two year old season but now wouldn't be suprised if they retire him and send him to stud in antartica or something. . .

I think he could have brought Zanjero if he was just reaching for a Travers horse, unless winning the Penn Derby was a major goal for him.

Well the Penn Derby had a $1 million purse and no Street Sense. . .

what takes real genius is the inability to see that in tiz miserable's comeback race that the horse wanted nothing to do with racing around a race track and was far from the horse he was at 2. fitness in no way whatsoever had anything to do with his performance in his comeback.

the other day, asmussen did say that he had an allergy attack before the race, so maybe that is possibly true, which could possibly explain his horrific race.

anyways, just to make sure you understood how and why i came to call tiz wonderful tiz miserable, i will break this down for you in very simple terms.

1. The horse is named Tiz Wonderful.
2. The horse named Tiz Wonderful was indeed wonderful as a 2 year old.
3. The horse named Tiz Wonderful that was so wonderful as a 2 year old last year came back recently and ran like he was not so wonderful. In fact, he looked like he actually was miserable out there on the track.
4. I could have called him Tiz Not So Wonderful, but for what I at the time thought was simplicity's sake, I decided to get just a little bit clever in the hopes that Ronnie would have a clue, so I called him Tiz Miserable.

For that, I humbly apologize.

If you mean Tiz Miserables, then you just might need an act of god.

My idiot count, within the last 24 hours or so, is currently up to 5.

There's my exgf who was out this way visiting. There's myself for spending 8 hours with her. She talked so much I actually fell asleep.

Then there was the Walmart experience last night. My friend and I went to Walmart to kill some time looking at odd people, debate the merits of the existance of Walmart, and buy at least one unnecessary electronics item.

As I looked sadly at the depleted selection of Ben & Jerry's there, we heard this bird crying in distress. Walking over to the sound, the two of us, and a few workers, try to figure out where this poor bird is. Nobody can see it, but we locate the cries to be coming either from the ventilation duct or from above the ceiling. We eventually convince the manager to bring a big platform ladder over so that we can remove a grate from the duct.

Looking into the ductwork, it was decided that the bird could not be in there. The manager then actually climbed up onto the roof (in the rain no less) and about 20 minutes later, comes back completely clueless. At this point, it seems likely that this poor bird is stuck above the ceiling somehow, though nobody can figure out how that is possible.

We've now been listening to this awful screaming for an hour, when my friend climbs up onto the ladder and precariously balances himself on the handles of that platform ladder. He tilts his head so that one ear is facing straight up towards the ceiling, when suddenly...

He notices the bird calls coming from below.

Turns out, some IDIOT had placed one of those electronic bird callers on the top of a shelf above everyones line of sight. I guess, in some small way, it was a little funny, but it was more aggravating than anything else. We had to spend 90 minutes total in a Walmart!

Then there were these two guys on this message board....

Exceptionally brilliant posting by I-Charlie during the wee hours... But did you get any 'capping done?
