This is exactly the nursery school BS that has ruined the board this year. For some reason the newer members can't seem to post a contrary opinion without taking a cheap shot at the individuals who are responsible for DT in the first place.

Is it not enough to partake this free daily seminar in racing and wagering at times attended by racing personalities known and respected by the industry with no fees, commercials or limitations on subject matter?

Disagreements of thought do not license character assassination here lest we all be without the good graces of those that educate and inform asking nothing in return. Sometimes I think it might make sense to suggest people read for 90 days before they are given posting privileges rather than have them post this trash talking sewer speak 3 days after joining the forum!!

It's too bad about War Pass. Hopefully we will see him back sometime in the future. This was a fun horse to watch. War Pass not being in the Derby does take away from the race whether we think he would have won or not.

Well said doc. Everybody is a keyboard big shot when someone has an educated oppinion which is different than their own. Grow-up, read, and learn!
I have learned a great deal from the opinions of the well respected public handicappers and others on this site. The great majority of people are dissapointed when they do not contribute beacause of innane attacks from jealous anonomous know-it-alls. Please, if you have nothing to contribute worthwhile, say nothing at all.

Without reading 5 pages of argumentative banter (it's my undiagnosed A.D.D. kickin' in), War Pass is a big loss to me in the derby. I wasn't gonna play him, or Big Brown, but I need War Pass to keep Big Brown honest on that lead, to set up for some closers hopefully.

I know there's other speed, but War Pass had the legit speed to keep up with Big Brown and hopefully set a torrid pace doing it. I'm not sure how I'm betting the derby yet, but (about to state the obvious here)- Big Brwn has to be an include in exotics now.

I apologize if this statement is very redundant.
