as a horse player. i could care less. horses like curlin and rachel won't make you any good $, anyway(when they win). thats why i love the tv and the public handicappers, they go on and on about horses like this. like real horseplayers don't already know these horses are good. you see some of it posted here, the "this horse can't lose talk". in REALITY VERY, VERY FEW GO UNDEFEATED. people jump all over it and the odds become a popularity contest. after a while if you are a smart gambler you realize that the people that really win are the ones that figure out when these horses are vulnerable(heavy faves) and they beat them. my biggest scores have come when these kinds of horses LOSE! as a fan you got to love this guy. he runs his horses, he doesn't place them in "cinch" spots everytime so its good for the sport. think about it. if he didn't not own rachel, do you think she would be in these races? the other owner did not even want to try the boys. curlin ran on grass and poly even though he was unproven on both and a world champ on dirt. the rest of his generation retired and it was a good 3 yo year. alot of these folks don't have the gonads to try what he does. how can you fault a fellow gambler?
