Why the mad rush? Because he had about 2 races left blocked and stocked, thats why. This horse had a very serious injury, not a little tendon, he was really f'ed up. I understand the busienss involved, but at sometime human compassion and common sense are supposed to trump greed.

And f'ed up and all he still made EZ Warrior his b!-otch. Hope he's still with us and hasn't become an insurance casualty.

EZ Warrior may be one of the worst hype jobs of the 21st century. That and DW Lukas with Flying First Class, are the two worst this year

in all fairness to ezw, he was ridden by the king of all moron jockies, david flores.

i cant say he was going to win, but i have no idea why he just sat still on him almost the entire way around the track. truly weird.

then again, i only saw the race on youbet. i'll have to watch it again on CR.

I wasn't too concerned with the level of competition Tiz Wonderful was brought back against. It's my feeling that either a horse is physically able to run or he isn't. If he isn't, don't run him, no matter who the competition is. If he is, run him, no matter who the competition is. Now, if they were looking for a win, it didn't make sense to run him against Street Sense or any other top 3yo. But if they thought he was physically back to the level he needed to be at to compete, I have no problem with the level of competition they returned in. The competition is not going to reinjure him if he's not ready. The conditions of the race will. My problem would be with the decision to run him at 9f first out of the box.

Im sure pleanty of us have asked for the lords intervention to get a horse home at some point in time. Undoubtedly it fails everytime and to keep the faith I always think God must not want me gambling.

cheap horse with heart "stuntman" was the logical alternative to the favorites. Flashstorm is so cheap but i planned for him to at least go out and make the big names quit... Flash didn't do $h!% but it still worked out.

Nothing like a good old fashioned redboard to stop a thread in its tracks.

EZ can't breath, (possibly genetic problem?). They just want to get through this year before he goes to stud.

um.. where exactly was I wrong smart guy??

I said I HOPE he wins.. don't believe I ever once said he was going to.

I did just fine at the window on that race so all of the rest is irrelevant.

yeah, sure you did.

even if you did though, which i highly doubt, i'm glad you put such a lack of importance on tiz miserable's welfare.

i keep liking you more and more!

one other thing dude. do you expect that in anytime during your stay on these boards, you will ever post something either interesting, relevant, insightful, funny or even just plain ole non-useless?

do you even have opinions that don't involve being sour?

try going back and reading every post you've made, and then tell me why people on here shouldn't be giving you a difficult time.
