He was probably too enraptured with his own reflection to read the whole thing.

Or was that the greedy dog with the bone?

i thought that was narcissus.

actually, if i was going to give mr. lapenta a hard time, it would be for saying a horse looked like adonis-that sounds kind of cheesy. hell, bad enough he's saying the horse looked like slew, now he's saying he looked like an immortal...what next?!?!

No, Narcissus thought he was Adonis and drowned when he saw that his reflection was really that of an ugly hillbilly.

Either that, or Narcissus was the Greek name for Adonis...or maybe he was Adonis' boyfriend.

I'm not really sure, but I'm getting reports recently that Moses was high on hallucinogens when he wrote all this sh!t down on the Dead Sea Scrolls.

That spot is reserved for Tapit...

i think buddha could give tapit a run for that spot. tapit did manage the laurel futurity as well.
but it's close.

Buddha? He was good, if short lived. He would have been the Derby favorite. Tapit is unopposed in this pseudo contest.

Budha outran a very game Medaglia D'oro. Unfortunately he suffered a career ending injury just days before the Ky Derby. He was legit...

[Danzig]

i just think a good horse should have more than one good race to show why he's a good horse. the wood is buddhas one and only, isn't it?
but i do agree tapit was pretty bad!

yes it was his only stakes win after jumping up from a allw at Gp in which he ran a faster race on the same card as the Florida Derby.

He was 3 for 3, and his first two were monster wins in a MSW and an ALW race. He won both by open lengths and with big figures, a 96 and a 106 in the ALW.

A couple of Buddha's races...

it really bothers me that a horse pays $76 to show and the trifecta isn't even tax money. Either some very smart people or someone knew that War Pass wasn't going to run 4th. The super didn't pay a whole helluva lot.

yet Zito found nothing run at all.

the horse is just one of those favorites that has to have absolutely everything go their way or they throw in the towel.

I think the main reason for this is the number of horses and the number of true contenders in the race. You can easily make a case that only 3 horses had a shot in this race for win and place. A 3x3 x All 1.00 tri cost 30 bucks not alot for a low risk wager. As far as the Super a 3 x 3 x All x All cost 120 for a buck and 12.00 for a dime. I'm sure a lot of Dime players canibalized the pot. IMHO Supers are paying way less since dime Supers came into play of course I will get an argument but have no way of backing up my claim since I don't have the data to compare. It is simply my observation.

the one thing you don't get with dimes is the *ALL* payoffs, that you used to see often. There are still monster payoffs just not as often. But racing is helped with the dimes. They get more handle and therefore more percentages. People wouldn't try if they had to spend the $24 everytime
but $2.40
not a problem
