He doesn't. He is a legitimate 500:1 shot that may well be under 15:1. It's absurd.

Blu is a great guy and one of the great characters at the racetrack. That doesn't change this horse's chances. They are approximately zero.
But that was such a good field he beat in his maiden win.....

Mine that Bird winning the derby was absurb, Drosselmeyer winning the Belmont was equally mystifying, if I remember correctly not many gave him a chance either, me included. In a game of surprises, nothing would surprise me .

MTB winning the Derby to me is the biggest upset I can ever remember. AA winning the Travers would be up there though.

I never knew you picked Drosselmeyer and Mine That Bird in the Belmont and Derby. You must be light years ahead of us all, my belated congrats. You are a genious...a little after the fact but a genious nevertheless.

I think your being a bit absurd, I dont really like this horse much, but to say he cant win is crazy. You said multiple times today on air that your kinda cold right now, and you questioned your own opinion.... To say this seems silly, we are not talking about one of the chalks, we are talking about a legit 10 or 15-1 shot.
As I said before.....you don't have anything even close to a clue.

Thank you for verifying my post.

Genius.

Oh, and yes, I indeed pick MTB and Drosselmeyer. Ask DrugS. I told him they were stone cold locks, and I told Hossy and Byk as well.

And because I did, I am certain you are a bumbling fool.

I am flattered that I am constantly on your mind, clearly I got to you and get to you, something I said? Better than being ignored, which is what I would do to you if didn't pay so much attention to me.

I agree with you. However, how do we reconcile this 'cluelessness' with the fact that he took down the late p4 yesterday?
