How so? The public discussion of entering and scratching a horse to keep another one out.

Where was the bad karma was my question? Baffert won the Derby from which Danthebluegrassman was scratched with War Emblem. You think he cares that he upset Barry Irwin?

Fair point. Longterm Karma damage.

I am pretty sure this thread has more expressed interest in trying to keep 85ina50 out of the Derby than the genuine interest in such for all of the connections of the other 20 horses combined.

What is one more no-chance speedball in this field, except another good candidate for the "finish last" prop bet?

The horse some people may have worried about is Setsuko, but he ain't making it, not in the current insane atmosphere.

A shame setsuko won 't get in as I thought he was live.

On what looks like the projected pace scenario, hell yes.

Eh, if you were thinking of betting Setsuko, spend your money on Ice Box. Same idea.

You would be incorrect.

That psychopath at a track with 150k people screaming and yelling in a 20 horse field where you run in front of the grandstand for the opening quarter is enough to make a trainer with the coolest nerves a tad uneasy.

You are all assuming 85/50 is winning on Saturday. I think thats a longshot.

OK, YOU may be on to something. But the collective fear of this horse stealing the Derby is somewhere around 0.0.
