Ken Ramsey=Best!!

[tjfla]

U gotta love Ken Ramsey,Pleasant Prince has ducked almost every big race/big 3 year old this year. Since the KY Derby he has won the Ohio Derby and Oklahoma Derby and 3rd in Smarty Jones.

Point begin after winning the OK Derby yesterday he told the reporters-Pleasant Prince is ready for the BC Classic and thats where he is going

Are u kidding me??? He finished 11th in the Preakness,then instead of shooting for 1 of the big races he chooses the Ohio Derby against Worldly,Slewzoom,and Max Silverhammer,afterwords goes to the Smarty Jones and gets beat by Thiskyhasnolimit and Nacho Friend(2 average horses)that LAL beat on a bad day,he is suppose to go to the Indiana Derby but chooses the OK Derby after LAL goes to the Indiana Derby,and in the OK Derby he goes against Timely Pursuit,Stachys,and Monsignor.

So the new startegy for going to the BC Classic is avoid Grade 1's and just win Grade 3's HAHA.

You are kidding right? Look, his horse has no chance to win the Classic. However, rather than ducking horses, he nearly ran the horse into the ground trying to make the derby. If I remember correctly, he ran in the Fountain of Youth, the Florida Derby,. the Blue Grass, and then the Derby Trial and just missed on graded earnings. He then came back in the Preakness and thankfully passed the Belmont.

As badly managed as he was up to this point, Pleasant Prince has been very well handled since then. There are lots of rich Derbys out there where an average horse can earn serious money. It would be crazy not to go after the low hanging fruit. Other than the classic winners, Pleasant Prince has probably earned more than any other three year old this year while having far less talent. Seems like a good plan to me.

Is the Classic too deep. Certainly. Can he win? No. But, could he clunk up for 4th or 5th and pick up another decent check? Very possible.

I am just saying the level of competition,he got destroyed in the Preakness and the Classic is ALOT stronger than that.

It is a great plan to earn money-just saying why does he deserve a spot in the Classic? Like First Dude I can understand,but come on Pleasant Prince

First Dude has only won 1 race if I am not mistaken. Granted he has scored loads of $ picking spots but at least PP is winning races now.

An arguement could be made that First Dude would have won the last three races Pleasant prince ran in. Considering he doesn't like to win much, maybe not, but he seems better than PP.

Will there even be enough room? I heard Espoir City (JPN) is still planning to ship over here for the Classic. Never run at 1 1/4 and just lost a race at 1 mile. He's by a son of Sunday Silence named Gold Allure out of a Brian's Time mare. The connections seemed to think he was in need of the race, or that's what I gathered when they called him fat.

Does Calvin Borel even have a horse pointing for the BCC? Rachel and Super Saver are gone, Mine That Bird appears to have one more chance to get his act together or retirement's a real possibility so I'm not sure they'd throw him in there.
