he's a nice grade 3, maybe grade 2 animal if he ever runs in the handicap division.

I think Nobiz is a beautiful horse that will always be a tad below the top horses, he has never shown a quick turn of foot, or any ability to close particularly well, he just gallops around at the same pace the whole way around. He looks hard to maneuver and has really never inpressed me other than with his looks.

Hence why I believe he could be a factor in Belmont. He can grind. But after reading other threads here today Belmont might come up saltier than I originally thought

I agree. I think the distance was a question for him in the Derby as well. I liked his Remsen and maiden win a lot, but he ran against easy fields and didn't really show much improvement in terms of ability from his two year old year to his three year old year. While he won the Wood, it was also an easy field and wasn't that impressive IMO. Also, the best horse in the race ran horrible. I like AGS much better because I think that he is much more talented, but AGS hasn't ran a good race and shown his true ability since the Tampa Bay Derby. Hopefully, Pletcher can get him straight and we'll see him back to his best.

NoBiz is a big goofy bastard.


On a side note, obviously the best horse didn't win the Derby. LOL LOL LOL had no excuses but in time he could be a monster.

Good memory, you are correct;

He doesn't even look like the same horse because he hits the ground so quick now. Any Given Saturday also hits the ground a little quicker than he did as a two year old. He was much more fluid as a younger horse.
So he ran his best race, and showed is true ability despite being sore.

Hilarious... I'm sorry, but this is too funny. Neither one of those horses were sore at Tampa. And excuse me for saying this, but unless you were THERE, you can't make that assumption. I don't care how many two year old in training videos you watched.
