2/26 (GP): Fountain of Youth, Hutcheson, Davona Dale (G2's)

VERY disappointed in THAS........ I understand that maybe he wasn't 100%, but he should have run better than he did. If I'm Mott, I don't even consider the Derby with him. I doubt he got anything out of this race, not enough for him to run 1 1/4 miles in May

Do you ever give it a rest?

On another note, War Front is off to an unbelievable start as a sire.

How is First Samurai off to a great start? He has 2 SW, one of which, Le Mi Geauz, hasn't run well since she won that stakes in NY. He's off to an ok start, but nothing special.

Does he have any other interesting horses beyond TF and Soldat?

A ton of allowance/maiden winners it seems - Data Link for one.

I have no idea what your problem is except extreme arrogance, but go ahead and say that the horse ran a good race. I eagerly anticipate your analysis - or was your comment about War Front as much as we can expect from you. You sure have a hard time being civil.

Yeah, I'm the one with the problem. The horse ran third off a four-month layoff and you're taking him off the Derby trail, no questions asked. All you ever used to do is complain about how every horse's spot is too ambitious, now you've switched to putting the second favorite for the Derby on the shelf because of a so-so comeback race behind a quality horse who walked on the lead. Your insanely overprotective attitude towards all A.P. Indy sons and grandsons is beyond tired.

Look at the rest of the comments. I'm not the only one who thinks you're being typically ridiculous.

If you think he's being too nice, instead of being gutless, why don't you come at me with guns blazing? I can handle it, believe me. Go ahead - say what you really feel.

2011 model of Jackson Bend. Very game and hard-trying.

I still think his best game would be a fast paced 7f race. I wasn't watching him close - but he seemed to have a perfect position and looked ultra menacing on the far turn only to hang in the stretch. I would have made a strong bet on him today had he run in the Hutcheson instead.

I liked To Honor And Serve's race. He was wide on both turns and had every right to be flat off of the layoff. It was the kind of performance that gets people to overreact. Funny Cide was like a fading 5th with a similar wide trip in his 3yo debut -- he was a very fast 2yo and after that race - I think he was an incredible high price in Derby futures.

Soldat had every advantage in the world going for him coming into this race - he had a great draw, you knew he would send, and speed typically dominates these Derby prep races - especially at 9fs. Soldat's going to be another in a long line of speed horses who brings strong form into the Ky Derby only to see himself get cooked by sprinter/miler speed.

Is there a reason I should care what strangers think about me? If you're tired of my posts, please feel free to skip them - or take a nap before you read them so you won't get so tired.

You don't have to care. But drop the incredulous victim act when people react sarcastically to your routine.

Victim act? LOL I disagree with you on THAS and instead of reacting civillly, you get up on your high horse. I'm sure you'll select THAS on top in whatever race he runs in next, right? He's going to be a horse you look at carefully before wagering your hard earned $$ ?

did Riot sign on under your name?

I detest abbreviating words as simple as "War Pass" or "to Honor and Serve." When someone's talking about how many points Kobe has, do they refer to KJ? I think not. THAS takes the cake though. Most annoying close to an actual word abbreviation in history.
