He doesn't. He is a legitimate 500:1 shot that may well be under 15:1. It's absurd.

Blu is a great guy and one of the great characters at the racetrack. That doesn't change this horse's chances. They are approximately zero.

I know because this group is full of killers...
I think your being a bit absurd, I dont really like this horse much, but to say he cant win is crazy. You said multiple times today on air that your kinda cold right now, and you questioned your own opinion.... To say this seems silly, we are not talking about one of the chalks, we are talking about a legit 10 or 15-1 shot.

As I said before.....you don't have anything even close to a clue.

I agree with you. However, how do we reconcile this 'cluelessness' with the fact that he took down the late p4 yesterday?

No I am not. And Im not happy with you, telling him you agree. I am showing a profit on pick 4's for the Spa, and Im still up off the 13-1 Ramon/Voss, Giants Causeway I hit. Thanks though.

So beware and let the hype begin, by the way Madame Lagonza was a very fast filly at least on the workout tab before she got injured.

12/1??? There is gonna be 12-14 horses in the race,no way Admiral Alex is that high.

In fact he is the 3rd best Afleet Alex horse in the race. Maybe Afleet Again is 12/1


Should have been more horses(14 or 15) in the race but Ramsey decided that since Pleasant Prince barely won the Ohio Derby,he had to come up with an excuse not to run him.(Gotta love the excuse tho-PP does not like the slop so he was not motivated to workout instead we will point him to Penn or Super Derby,whichever 1 is easier) AND Steinback who was supposedly confirmed to run,ran 2 miles and won on 8/17 in Europe so now he is doubtful

Best trainer ever tho Ramsey's plan is to find the easiest Graded races and then talk about how good of a Grade 3 winner he has

Looks like RHT is in a furious battle to reclaim the tard crown from CSC1985.

I am flattered that I am constantly on your mind, clearly I got to you and get to you, something I said? Better than being ignored, which is what I would do to you if didn't pay so much attention to me.
