Mike,
I guess his point is that its less than 5-1 for that to even happen, so taking 3-1 on it is short.

>Fkach-- we seldom agree, but I\'m with you on much of that post, though we may disagree as applied to specific horses<

Maybe we should both reconsider. ;-)

I try to learn things from everyone.

There\'s no question I have a much better feel for how horses typically develop now than I did a few years ago. I may read things differently sometimes because I focus a lot of attention on things other than final time figures, but you and others here have filled some valuable gaps for me.

First we agree, now you are coming out with a \"Race Shapes\" product.

What\'s next? ;-)

\"Jimbo-- I\'m not going to bet on what Dutrow will do, but I think 50/50 is about right. The over/under for starts this one makes the rest of the year is 2 (which is how many Bellamy Road made)\".

JB,

Maybe, but don\'t bet too much on it. Connections said BB worked \"SUPER\" this morning.Talk of his unsoundness is greatly exaggerated according to someone close to this horse \"his feet, thats it, and right now it\'s under control\".

If he gets there healthy(agree, still a big if, even for the healthy ones), he\'ll be a handful.

Surprised you doubt the peerless Tricky, he\'ll do what he did winning in Dubai, New York, Florida, Keeneland. Cant you hear Tricky, Yeah man, wow man, everthings great man. Hormanship, a joke!

Hmmm,

So BJB was back to work in the requisite 2 weeks huh? And threw a five furlong move in line with his previous training track efforts?

Eight Belles has certainly got his checklist handy.

The fact that he made it back to the track on schedule is a good sign.

Fkach,

This horse is one that the connections are holding their breath with. There is a minor, minor chance that he will be sold before the derby. There has been great debate about selling and funny money is on the table.If he runs and wins the derby,I\'d say it\'s 95%+, he\'ll be sold.
