Is This Finally The End Of Giacomo Goo-Gooism?
I know goo-goos die hard ...
... they're tougher to kill than New York cokcroaches ... but ... ... have the Giacomo goo-goos finally reached the end of the road? Nah ... probably not ... they'll have about 32 excuses for his not winning today ... and 47 reason why finishing fifth was encouraging. Nope ... they ain't dead yet.

Why ask the question when you answer it? Are you mentally retarded?

If anyone thought Giacomo had any chance in this rave they are insane. And if anyone thinks he will ever run competitvly in G1 races again without an absolute suicide pace is nuts. This horse is the 2nd worst derby winner ever, Gato Del Sol being the worst, and him being 9/2 i think was unreal. He should have been 10-1 in this field while a horse like Super Frolic should have been 5-1.

It's called handicapping....try it sometime. And in no way did I use Giacomo in my bets today. Some of us are smart enough to know when a race sets up for him and when it does not. I have bet Giacomo one time and one time only in my life....and guess what....my ROI with him is FANTASTIC.

As a lifetime devotee of thoroughbred racing ... missing the Kentucky Derby like that was a great sacrifice on my part ... but ... I'm such a giving, caring, and genuinely noble person ... that I gladly took on this burden for the sake of all my fellow men and women. Don't you feel bad now ... I mean really, really bad?

Sheriffs was talking BC Classic before the Pacific Classic looks like there is a slight problem with those travel plans

But ... I'm afraid I'm going to make you feel bad again ... because ... I have another secret overseas mission coming up soon ... which will cause me to miss many of the big races in late September and early October. However ... I will be back in time for the Breeder's Cup races ... so I'll make it my business then to cheer you up again.

Hot damn I spilled. OK what do we do now? Do I shoot myself, or do you shoot me, or do we try and kill each other simultaneously? I'll check my secret decoder ring I received in my Oatmeal. Hell of a plan you putting that Oatmeal box in just the right spot in the grocery bossman.

Yeah, Giacomo was exposed in the Pacific Classic for the type of horse he really is today -- a Monarchos Jr....he'll be lucky if Adena even stands him in Kentucky...

... I'll be rooting hard for Giacomo to be a successful stallion ... even though the odds are against it. He reperesents one of the last chances ... if not THE last chance ... for the survival of the Himyar line ... or at least its non-Domino branch. And there's a chance Giacomo may be successful ... because he doesn't have a drop of Mr. Prospector, Native Dancer, or Northern Dancer blood ... and just a smidgeon of Phalaris blood ... ... so he's almost a complete outcross for any top broodmare. Please ... Mr. Breeder ... give Giacomo a chance !!!

Giacomo = Funny Cide. He will get lucky in a couple more races. Unlike Funny Cide, Giacomo will be retired soon.

The fact that he didn't win today doesn't prove anything. You guys are hilarious. You pull the same crap all the time. One bad race doesn't prove anything. A horse could win 10 times in a row and when he loses his next start, you guys say "See I told you this horse isn't any good. His loss today proved that he's no good. Never mind that he just won 10 in a row." Now in the case of Giacomo, I tend to agree with you. As I said, he's the worst Derby winner in a long time. But by the same token, I think they've been having some problems with him ever since the Preakness. I think he ran his best in the Derby and I think he ran his best in the Preakness. He got hurt in the Belmont and he's never really been quite the same since. He was never a great horse, but at his best I think he could certainly run better than he did today. If he was at his best, he could have probably finished 3rd or 4th and possibly even 2nd. Look who ran 2nd. Good Reward ran 2nd. He's not much horse on the dirt. Good Reward really isn't even great on the grass. He fluked into a couple of lucky wins.
