Perhaps Edgar Prado is not a good fit on this horse. 2 back, he gets cooked on the front end racing on the dirt in NY. In yesterday's 7th at Gulfstream, Mr Prado decides he's going to rate him from far back, which, breaking from an outside post, means WIDE and far back. He made a nice middle move to get into contention around the turn, but just didn't have enough left, finishing 3rd. Better trip next out, with a different jockey???, should find the winner's circle.

The trip sucked, but this horse is not that good.
Garcia had him wide and moved really early 2 back, so its not the jockey. The trainer sucks, and the horse is just not that good. Thats how I see it.

The guy takes time out to try and alert people to a possible trip he saw and you respond with this?

Must you ruin every room on the board?

Its part of the discussion. The horse is not that good, bad horses have bad trips. So you bet bad horses back? The horse had a bad trip, but he also had one with Garcia up in NY. Then came back and faced about the worse group of maidens ever and could not manage at least a 2nd. Not sure why the attack, my point is pretty clear. When it comes to this horse dont let the trip trick ya, I doubt he finds the winners circle anytime soon, unless its a drop down type situation.

Has it ever dawned on you no one cares about your opinion?

This is really getting old. Im the one who ruined this thread? I gave points and reassons to why he is just not that good. You now in 2 posts have not done anything other then attack me. Leave it alone.
I hope, in this case Golfer looks at my opinion it will likely save him some cash.
If Im wrong about the horse fine, but as far as messing this thread up, no not me, not this time. Your the only one talking about anything other then the horse and the races.

Not that it matters, because you don't listen and are so stuck in your losing ways it won't matter. But this part I have highlighted is so stupid I almost don't believe it.

When looking at a trip, the quality of the animal doesn't matter. Bad horses don't have bad trips. It wouldn't matter if the horse in question is a 5k claimer. If it has a trip that is worth noting, than you make a note of it and follow the horse next time. The idea is to bet horses back who have had a trip or trips that compromise their finish in the trip race and to try and find horses that ran better than it looks on paper due to their trip.

You are so stuck on just giving your opinion that what you are talking about doesn't matter. It's not about who is good or who isn't. It's about finding winners. Some of the best scores I have had have come in claiming races with horses that have had trips.

Very fine work.

Just watched the replay and I agree. That was a nice run he put in. I'll be watching where he shows up next.

I really hope something is done about your behavior in this thread. I watched and bet this race, I also followed this horse late last year. You on the other hand never saw the race until now, but attacked me, and then said I ruin threads. A blind man can see who the trouble maker is.

I saw the race yesterday LIAR and re watched it again today as I do most races. Usually more than once. Your first post in this thread was garbage, like the other 99.9% of your posts here. It was a way to draw attention to yourself. Golfer identified a trip horse that is one to keep an eye on next race and your response was "the horse is not good" and "the trainer sucks." Brilliant insight. You should write a (picture) book.

You would think by now, it would occur to you that the way you act here isn't okay. You have been banned a minimum of 6 times. Yet every single time you come back, you get worse and worse. Over the weekend you sent me at least 25 pm's apologizing, offering me free PP's (this was my favorite) and admitting what a liar you are and how you know it and can't help it. Yet the next day, you are acting like this.

You just can't make this stuff up.

I originally put this horse on the watch list after his race at Aqueduct December 18th. That day, I thought he was forced to work to hard on the lead due to long shot King Aragorn, who decided to rush up from last on the outside at about the quarter pole to needlessly (my word) put extra pressure on him. He tired fairly late stretch.

When he showed back up yesterday on the turf, I didn't think it would be a problem, as Borrego's have been successful so far on the grass, and front runners have done quite well at GP. So the decision to sit at the back of the pack was curious, and as I wrote to begin this thread he was very wide the entire trip.

His thorograph pattern is actually quite strong, and I believe he moved forward again yesterday, paired up his number at worst. It was only his 4th career start, so while he may end up being a slug, he certainly hasn't proven it yet, at least not to me.

For what it's worth, Tony Dutrow has King Aragorn at Oaklawn and he was entered in a MSW on a cancelled day last week. I'll see if he's in at any point over this coming weekend.
