You know...Why do you always have something to say? I was congratulating Hoffy. He picks for a newspaper. He's very proud of himself.
I hit the SUBMIT button twice by accident. Now...if you have a beef with that then my apologies. I certainly didn't mean to bore anyone. When a public handicapper nails the exacta in the Kentucky Derby it's an accomplishment. Now you need to get over this little rise in your drawers you are getting from nitpicking everything Me, hoffy, and Estreet say.

HUH??? Not getting what you are saying....but Dahoss has been nothing but a smart mouth since I joined.

HS ran a tremendous race yesterday, maybe one of the best losing Derby efforts since Congaree. It was really impressive and I was dead wrong about him, I used him on the bottom of a small saver exacta, but I totally threw him out for all other purposes.

I think he's gutted, he didn't have a work for 19 days after the Lanes End and had a six week break before the Derby. I would say that was a bigger effort yesterday and he's only going to be coming back after 2 weeks. I think he will take alot of money in the Preakness and I don't see him as having much of a chance.

I think I'll wait to see how he comes out of this. It makes me very happy to see a gritty colt like this one running, though. I'm very happy for his connections... he had a great run.

We were pretty close to seeing another PA bred win too! LOL

Unless there was something brewing with him like a cough or virus that we didn't hear about, I can't understand why he didn't work for 19 days after the Lanes End, if he was that tired after that race, what's going to happen to him after the Derby?

I've got to think that Larry Jones will do what's right by the horse. If he comes out of the race bad, I'm going to assume he'll shelf him (like he did after the Lane's End.) I'm not connected with the colt, so I don't know if he had any ailments or not. Who knows?

DrugS,

I thought AGS got a great trip considering his starting post. He got over about as cleanly as could be expected, and was a clear third late in the race. He didn't get the Moses-like trip of Street Sense (who did, or ever does?), but for a 20 horse Derby, it was relatively clean. The hit he took coming out of the turn was not that big of a deal, I thought.

Cool....I was hoping it was just ribbing. I certainly have been trying to bury the hatchet after our little thing last week. I'm about as easy going as they get and I'm sure you're a great guy so let's keep talking horses. By the way you were absolutely 100% right about CQ. He without a doubt did not make up the 10 lengths from the Juvenile.
