I hope you are kidding. But, if you are not- we'll never know so Curlin wins IMO. I was just sayin I had little respect for Bernardini when he raced but in retrospect he looks like Seattle Slew compared to pos like Summer Turd.

i think summer bird did pretty well considering his total campaign last year. he's actually comparable to bernardini in that both got a later start than many of their peers. now, bernardini got more wins, but i don't think summer bird was a 'pos'. i don't know that their one year stands up to many other horses top season, but neither was a slouch-and no doubt both could have done a lot at four, had they been able to race.

Yeah, what a POS he had to be to win the Belmont, Travers and JCGC, crushing the 2010 HOY favorite twice in the process. Such a ho-hum feat that triple is. Jesus, there's no pleasing you people.

exactly. quality road is supposed to be a beast and summer bird beat him both times they met-but he's a pos?

The 2010 HOY favorite...LOL. I've spent the past 10 minutes trying to log back in to reply to another thread re the inferiority of todays horses because of breeding practices but it may as well be here. The Breeders Cup and Eclipse Awards mean shat to everyone betting money on races except how they skew the ACTUAL RUNNING of races (like the JCGC) and the payouts thereof. I couldn't care less about who is named "Horse of the Year" except as to how it affects the results of the races I'm betting from June thru September, and that is a damn big deal and why CDSI is out a few K of mine this year.

What the hell are you talking about? You're talking about the quality of Summer Bird as a racehorse, so explain to me what that has to do with handicapping and gambling and your damn big deal super winning awesomeness. Your comment was that Summer Bird was a POS. In this conversation, gambling and how you do at the windows doesn't have ish to do with the tea in China.

Wow. Are you REALLY that naive?
It seems that you are, and Danzig too.
There is NOTHING about horseracing that has nothing to do with gambling.

you said Summer Bird was a POS, I said that he pulled off a very rare triple last year, beating the best dirt horse in the world right now twice, and your response was "HOY? LOL. I win at gambling." Bravo.

Where did I say I win at gambling? If anything, I lose because of the ulterior motives of greedy owners who run horses in spots they stand no chance in and drop dead in front of my picks and/or trainers who "prep" their horses in races they should win by open lengths but really are just there for a public workout and suck up for third just for fun.

Maybe I misinterpreted this. Either way, this does nothing to answer my question of why Summer Bird sucks.

chucklestheclown · #11 06-12-2010, 09:24 PM

He is no Zenyetta...hell...he is no Zardana.

ateamstupid · #12 06-12-2010, 09:36 PM

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks for playing.

Danzig · #13 06-12-2010, 10:25 PM

call me naive if you wish, but how does any of the above explain that summer bird is indeed a pos as you called him? it was pointed out that he beat quality road, this years presumptive handicap leader, twice last year-and you rattle on about cdi and betting?

You really are a clown...

As for what this thread initially asked...I respect and really enjoy Zenyatta as a race horse. What makes me really want to see her get beat, and why I am unable to enjoy her more, is her ridiculous rabid fans. The fact they seem to never look at anything objectively with her, and only see her through pink and teal colored glasses is quite annoying.

Don't forget that pink and teal colored glasses are really annoying in the first place.
