Cotton Balls for No Biz

ARyan · #1 04-05-2007, 09:47 AM

I really do think NoBiz has the most talent, maybe outside of Street Sense, in this 3 year old crop. I think if the blinks and cotton do the trick, we might be seeing a great strech duel between Biz and Sense in the Derby.

i agree i have been on him for so long and im just hoping he puts it all together in the wood.

I have to agree with the both of you. I will not be wagering this weekend but I do look forward to a nice performance from No Biz. I also look forward to a potential rivalry between SS, No Biz and possibly ANG.

I hate to break up this Nobiz lovefest, but what exactly has he done on the track that makes you believe A) he has such incredible talent and that B) he is not just a headcase who ran away from a couple of bad fields and caught everyone's attention.

On paper he just doesn't compare to Any Given Saturday. Nobiz spun his wheels last time, playing around the whole way and came up short in a race where they weren't exactly flying home. Now Barclay Tagg, usually as traditional a horseman as they come is trying everything but the kitchen sink to straighten out this guy's myriad problems.

If I'm proven wrong then so be it, but as of right now Nobiz has not done anything on the track that leads me to believe he is faster than Any Given Saturday or a few others from this year's crop.

Perhaps you didn't get a chance to watch his sale video. HELLO! LOL

Honestly, I like AGS, but I want to see him run big off of the "fake" dirt.

But I do like him. If he can take to the real dirt, I think he is a very nice horse.

I do like No Biz too. I believe he is going to be my pick in this race.

I've loved this horse since the day he opened his little horsie eyes and said, "Hello world, I am No Biz!!"

I feel sorry for his competition. They're going to be so jealous that he has balls in his ears and they don't. What an outstanding, historic day it's going to be when he wins the Wood by over 20 lengths. Whoda thunk that all it took to get this magnificent horse in the winners circle is some comfy balls in the ears to drown out all of the negativity?

I don't like the tampa track. I know GPK does, but I don't. Not saying he isn't good, just I want more. I always do though.

not trying to knock Nobiz or Barclay Tagg...but in my opinion having to resort to something like earplugs to get a horse to focus isn't quite what I want in my derby horse...there is no crazier day than Churchill on May 6th...talent or no, I wouldn't want my money to rest on a headcase in that scenario. (and before anyone reminds me I know that plenty of headcases have won the derby, I just don't think this one will)

He is going to need some really BIG cotton balls for derby day.

Actually, May 6, 2007 will be a dark day because it's the Sunday after the Derby. It's not too crazy at CD on the 6th this year. I just had to do it. If Nobiz can make it through the GP Paddock with an incident the Derby will be a piece of cake.

Oh, how I long for the crow to meet you.

Luckily, I'm not terribly afraid of making a poor prediction when it comes to horse racing- I've actually grown rather accustomed to it. Unfortunately, all of the Nobiz supporters have offered no argument to substantiate why he will beat Any Given Saturday. That, really, is all I was looking for.

I'm with you on this one. I don't think it's an outlandish prediction to make as AGS has actual races that we can point to in predicting that he will perform better on Saturday. Nobiz has a few decent races and lots of "potential," well, now potential and q-tips.
