Isn't he a prime candidate for the 'bounce' theorists?

And Andy sure isn't one of those....

I think in his case it has more to do with the whole under-seasoned horse, for a shady trainer....

The Derby is a race that makes too many people try and be too clever. While the best horse doesn't always win....and in some cases...like with Holy Bull...they even run in the tank....but, Curlin is "the best horse"...and the best horse should rarely be so easily dismissed...imo anyway.

I love derby post position theorists.



This already looks like a race that could get stolen by some filthy sneak.

But I will reveal no more at this time.

If anything wins wire-to-wire, it would probably be Hard Spun....and with Mario Pino up, who's never seen a horse he didn't want to rate into submission, I doubt he'll be on the early lead.

Do you mind?



Saying it can make it happen.

Or didn't you know that?

I am far from convinced that Curlin is the " best horse ".

[The Indomitable DrugS]

No you aren't.

If he isn't...who is?

You are right. I was criticized last week for saying that. I was pointing out that he is no Slew or Smarty Jones. This horse is the talk of the public, the non-betting public. Does he remind you of Bellamy Road?

I would say that Street Sense is #1 followed closely by Curlin & NoBiz...of course whoever the media spits out the most will of course be taking the $$.
