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 think he might be. I think it's a perfect storm. Orb is really good. This crop is not. I think Orb is going to win the Triple Crown. Shug will also win the Dixie on Preakness day and the Manhattan on Belmont day.

And suddenly the dice have stopped rolling his way.

The momentum over the last few days has just crapped out.

Hopefully Shug reads the board and thinks twice about the Manhattan after the giant mush you put on him

We/they, whoever made that horse 5-2 in the Dixie. Come on. I bet the 9, he sucked 2.
Everyone loved ORB. Not just me. Good call on Code West broski. Im happy for you. BTW.... No redboard, because I wont say how much I won..... But remember who loved Oxbow in the Derby. I was TOTALLY OFF HIM. Until Dougs thread. My hits were mostly backups, but still pretty large.
