Smooth Air is a complete non-contender.

Just out of curiosity, who are you leaning towards?

I tend to wait for races to be drawn and pps to come out. I'm funny that way.

Understandable, but it seems pretty easy to **** on others' opinions while taking no stand of your own.

Joey, give me a call in twenty years when you've even had the opportunity to take as many stands as I have.

The give me a call in a third lifetime when you have.

Blah blah blah. That's irrelevant here. I'm talking about today, right now, in this thread.

It's not irrelevant to what you said ( and implied ). Sorry if you don't like my answer....but it's true.

Man, I know you've taken plenty of stands in the past. I'm just saying I think it's lame to spit on people who like Smooth Air without backing it up or telling us who your "contenders" are. That's all.

smooth air has a ok shot to be in the top 4 big brown on the other hand has nothing to do with this ..his merit is the speed he has shown..and the way hes done nothing wrong yet.save be involved with ieah....but i cant fault the horse ..hes innocent......

While I obviously don't agree with the first part I very much agree with the rest. Like it or not, Big Brown is the horse to beat. That doesn't mean I will bet him, or even greatly like his chances, in the Derby but nobody should make the foolish mistake of thinking that right now he is anything other than the horse to beat and deserving favorite.

whatever, nothing wrong , 3 races 5-2 or under in a 20 horse field going 1and 1/4. the odds are against and hes short . thats enough wrong right there.
