what he is so eloquently trying to say is:

calm down
stop posting to yourself every minute
think about what you post before you actually hit submit

it sounds like you are really into the game, and have an ounce or 2 of knowledge, but you come off like a complete buffoon...

I don't think that is the point...first you started a thread and replied to that thread...then you posted 3 times in 3 minutes on that same thread with nobody else posting...

you can hit the edit button and continue a thought instead of posting 3 times for 1 thought...

i guess you need some posting etiquette lessons or something...

Man, this IGNORE button is SWEET. I have only used one other time, when that PG character was around, coincedence?

Oh the return of Alaazo, one of the most ballyhooed slow horses in the history of this board. There was a quite a showdown in the Selections room when this horse ran at Gulfstream because someone had gotten a hot tip on facebook. He won that day but alas, next time out he came back down to earth and let the Facebook faithful down.

The card, by the way, really is on par for a Friday and the Pick 4 has 9, 10, 8 and 10.

He was a first time gelding last out, didn't help much. He still sucks.

I NEVER said he was good.

Nope, you didn't. I just don't like him because I've bet him 4-5 times now and he's found new ways to lose every time. His debut was legendary...

While Giant Chieftan is certainly not as talented as his connections believed he would be at one point in time, I think his struggles may have more to do with misplacement. You have a horse who was on his way to breaking his maiden in his debut before attempting to swing by the refreshment stand in mid-stretch way back in '06. He then ran a couple of good races as a 2YO and Stanley Hough thought he was a turf horse. Since then he has not even been in the money on the weeds, failing six times and once on Polytrack. In the time since he came back as a 3YO he has run on the dirt twice. He finished third in a N1X at GP before clearing that condition in his next start.

Now, all three of this guy's dirt races have come on wet tracks, so a fast track is still a new thing, but he might be a tad interesting in a race where Barrier Reef and Alaazo are going to burn a ton of money. Although I should say, I do think Barrier Reef can run, I guess we'll see.
