So much for that...

[bellsbendboy]

I realize you bet the favorite but it does not excuse your pitiful prattle Sekrah.  Not surprised a few here with a similar lack of handicapping grasp have piled on.

Nevertheless your accusation that he had a \"pre-emptive plan to smash the favorite\" should be addressed to Calvin himself.

I make it 6-5 someone will get punched.

If you don\'t think Calvin intentionally slammed DOJ, then you sir, are an naive fool.   And BTW, I would snap that little squirrel in two if we ever got into it.

[badride123]

Hes pretty big for a jock

If you had been around here for any time, you would see that sekrah is one of the most astute handicappers around. He is definitely not a chalk player. He has made some brave calls, in public, on multiple occasions. I don\'t know why this has turned into pile onto TG week, but I will take the TG data and the people who frequent this board over many others. If you don\'t like it, leave.

[Wrongly]

Bravo!  Sekrah has made some great picks public!

[P-Dub]

Sek,

Its possible, but you don\'t know for sure. I\'m not saying you\'re wrong either.

Everyone, how about a little civility??  Yes, coming from me of all people.

If this horse, the fastest horse in TG history, a horse with an 8 point leeway for jock screwup, another jock shutting us off, horse just stumbling and losing 4 at the start(she broke fine, BTW, but got shut off AFTER the start), we still win this race by 1-4 lenghths. Off that neg 8, she clearly bounced to the moon. I\'d be surprised by anything faster than a zero on the part of the winner, which means DOJ bounced about 9 points.

Wise Dan will win his race easily. Normandie Invasion will win the Derby at 8-1 or higher, wet track, fast track.

Public picks. Yep. Winners. Yep.

But that doesn\'t take away from the stupidity on this thread.

Of course he was trying to get over Julia for position.  And he should be suspended.

But it wasn\'t a kamikaze mission to stop her from winning

Just a reckless ride.  Which is certainly bad

[Perfect Drift]

Why do stewards hand out very questionable DQs for incidental bumping down the stretch which, in most cases, does not have an impact on the finish of the race.  However, horses come out of the gate and wipe out part of the field and there is very rarely a DQ.  Both incidences today were egregious and warranted a DQ.

Playing the devils advocate here in an effort to understand:

I have had a pain in the neck about the 3/30 figs at GP. I think the route figs on Florida Derby day might be too fast by about 2 points.

Still, the horses you mention, one of whom was a clear bet (Authenticity) with adjusted figs, and another a good bet (TCI) would still be no surprise to have won today as their adjusted figs (make the last fig a 2 instead of a zero) are still in line with an anticipated winning effort today.

If I am right about the 3/30 figs, then I have no other worries about NI winning tomorrow. Other than being worried that Chad Brown\'s record at CD was troublesome, he\'s red hot now.

[TGJB]

If you add 2 to those (or Golden Ticket yesterday) they look much worse. Not impossible but a Loy worse.

[RICH]

sorry mo, don\'t think so, can\'t see wise dan at all

[MO]

any particular reason?

[bellsbendboy]

Roger that 58

He made a very ignorant accusation.

Not one competent capper would agree with him.

A very soft course on very short rest?  bbb
