With Titletown Five in there to make life miserable for all of the tactical speed horses ... and with the defection of Normandy Invasion and now Orb coming out of the race in good order and getting a work in, the dice continue to roll his way.

Go back to your twitter drivel.

With your most recent work here, I can only say it's a shame you're an infrequent poster.

Tizracer undoubtedly also deserves a spot in the Preakness.

He beat Orb by 20 lengths in this 2yo race:

How you miss the relevance is beyond me.

Wait until this guy becomes a late addition to the race.

Now you're starting to figure things out.

If only championships were won in the early morning on the Oklahoma training track.

I assumed the point was that 9 months ago, in Orb's debut, when he was far from the race horse he is now, even at a distance far more favorable for Titletown Five, Orb was already a much better horse.

What other point could anyone be making by showing that race?

Titletown Five has had an excellent year so far.

* 2nd in the Gazebo stakes at six furlongs, had the lead the whole way and was nailed by a son of Henny Hughes late.

* 9th in the Louisiana Derby.

* 4th in the Derby Trial


He makes the entry of Flying First Class in the Curlin, Street Sense, Hard Spun Preakness seem like a relatively logical one.

After all, Flying First Class did at least win the Derby Trial by 4 lengths.

what is interesting is Shug's comments, I mean this man rarely says anything boastful and what he said about Orb's workout was all we needed to know. He might have to have Orb into the race a bit earlier than he is used to, but he might be that pushbutton superhorse we have been waiting for.

I was seeking an answer originally and that's why I posted. I fear the real answer is far from the lucid one you offered above.

Instead of an answer, I was somehow mocked for being a "know-it-all" and posting drivel on Twitter. The real irony is that in a thread with both DrugS and I, that I got mocked for being a "know-it-all." !!!?!?!?!

I'm clueless on most subjects known to man.

And currently suffering from a potentially life threatening/cancer causing (if you believe Golfer's links) infected tooth.

Other than that, we are stride for stride in the Italian know-it-all department, in pursuit of the categorical gold standard Rock Hard Ten'85

Apparently, you got the worst of the double standard because Reese obviously has a heart and is rooting for me in my great health struggle of the moment.

However, I'm sure a great many are rooting for the infected tooth to prevail in a swift glorious victory over me...leaving you to take up the running without me.
