Did Bode Bounce?

[HP]

ALM - you are aware that Bode, IAH, and Dullahan all fit numbers-wise as possible winners on TG, right?  For me, tossing Bode was about what you call \"pattern analysis.\"  I thought he would regress.  Apparently he did, but only IAH could muster anything and get by him.  Threw IAH out knowing full well he had the numbers and even a pattern that could win, but did not like the 19 hole or the damn electro-blanket story.  

You can make your points without this constant deprecation and \"Kool Aid\" stuff.  Jerry\'s worked long and hard on this stuff.  You want to be critical, I think that\'s good and NECESSARY, but there\'s ways to do it.  You don\'t have to advance your argument by downgrading others.  I wouldn\'t say the BRIS numbers are flawed OR meaningless.  You can just say what you have to say without assuming how the rest of us think.  If the Kool Aid here inspired you onto better things that\'s not bad either.

Find it hard to believe that Bode regressed based on the race dynamics.  He was the only horse that did any running for much of the race.  If the race ends at the 9F that he ran in the Arkansas what do you think his final # is? That top was on an easy unpressed lead, this number was earned every step of the way. I think he will bounce off THIS effort which considering race dynamics, I will treat as a max effort coming back on short rest, not because of any 0-2-X created by the Ark Derby top.

nice post   sadly there seems to be a trend to make anyone who posts on this thing look like fools instead of using it as a learning tool.


i\'m here to learn more on  how to win more and more often  .  i keep score each and everyday after the bets are made.  lets try to get back to the why and how\'s you like a horse and a pattern of why and how you like one instead of ripping everyone who post a new a#$hole.

On the overhead shot, Bode is in a dead heat with IHA at the 16th pole, FWIW.

Thats because Smith is a moron, at least according to \"that guy\".
