"Far Outside" will probably be the 5 hole

The 7th is an amazing betting race. My only toss so far is El Kingdom, all the others are right there.

Reb is very interesting to me with that 46 work two back and a sneak good return race.

I've got it narrowed down to Jimmy Simms and Mystic if he draws in. Jimmy Simms looks like he might end up setting or being right on a moderate pace and he ran better than it looks last time. Same thing could be said for Mystic who made the first move last time, maybe a little early and made the kind of move you like to see for a horse the next time around.

Good betting race though.

Look up the word obstinate if you aren't familiar with it.

I have a few other words I could ask you to look up, lol. What's your problem, seriously? I disagree with you and you have to be rude? You still have not explained why McLaughlin entered this horse in the Hutch if he wanted to learn about him. Why didn't he just point for the Gotham? By the way, none of the other speed horses scratched, so he looks like McLaughlin was the only trainer afraid to run.

Well first of all, all I did was confirm the scratch, which no one else had mentioned here (it was just speculation before). As to repeating myself, I would not have done so except for Steve's unnecessary response.

Oy vey... You belabored a nonsensical point and then when that wasn't enough further ridiculously assign a cowardice label for the highly logical move of bypassing this spot for a better one. You're obstinate beyond belief.

So what you're saying is that anyone that doesn't agree with you is obstinate? I don't think it's a logical move and I haven't been convinced that it is, but since we're not talking about a horse that's particularly good, it's really silly to continue the argument. I guess we'll have to wait and see how he does in his next race.

The connections are indefensible. Sorry. You guys can keep defending these a-holes with their monarch mentalities all you want.

Just pure horsemanship right there. If you were to make a montage of the sport in its true form right now, there would be that guy. With his pill-headed smile and weasel cackle. It's just poetry.
