Smooth Air

[blackthroatedwind]

Tale of Ekati is a much better horse than Smooth Air though he too is probably distance challenged.

I've seen enough of Smooth Air to be reasonably confident he's a non-contendor. I will wait for the draw to form any other opinions.

OK, but if you don't want to take a bet against him with anyone but the three favorites then you can hardly make it out like those of us drinking the Smooth Aid are holding an indefensible opinion.

So, Andy, before the draw -- who do you specifically like? Please be clear and definitive! Just kidding.

I don't get the discussion. I don't want to make any bets at all....why should I want to? I have no real opinion. It's a week and half before the race. There's plenty of time.

I understand people get worked up for the Derby. That's great. I don't. I spend hours every day agonizing over races being run that day ( or the next ). I have plenty of action without having to worry about silly ego related bets on a race I will, at best, have a vague opinion on.

Out of curiousity, have you ever had a real strong opinion on the Derby, results?

I understand, it's hard to defend the indefensible.

How do you have an opinion about the results before the race

Did you mean after the race? I am guessing Andy isn't going to lie about it, was just curious that is all.

Yes, I loved Silver Charm and I loved Go for Gin.

I also absolutely hated Smarty Jones.

[hi_im_god]

i have almost no opinion on smooth air.

but i hate recapturetheglory and think he has zero chance.

do i really need to have a winner to respond to the recapture fans because i'm dumping on him?

What I was trying to ask BTW was in response to how he said at best it would be a vague opinion, in respect to the Derby, and I was just curious if he had any stories about betting the Derby.

Easy you two English scholars...

I think you at least have to find a recapture fan. I haven't seen a bigger no chance horse in the Derby since Cowtown Cat.

If you want to get all English scholar just ask Andy what a non-contendor is. Sounds Spanish, must be Tomcito.

Not necessarily. As long as you only told me (and maybe a few others) the results, then all would be good. We woudn't want the odds going down too much, ya know.

Trust me, I agree. The stock market gives me plenty of risks all day long ... I could use a little simplicity in regards to the rest of my life. LMAO
