PS My Horse is running at Belmont on Sat Race 5. I may fly in to be at Belmont for Derby and the winners circle....

Any Chance you\'re at Belmont Sat?

Gotta feeling this time....

NCT:

Will be at Bel today for Oaks card. Will be taking in the Derby card from Living
Room Downs.

Was just leafing through the Form and noticed that American Pharaoh\'s half
brother, Xixixi, is running in a 5 furlong turf allowance at Pimlico on Friday.
Xixixi was claimed out of his previous start from RudyRod for 5K.

Joe, I\'m curious of your evidence that the Cal horses were the best this year.

[jbelfior]

Dortmund and Firing Line put up their numbers while on the pace. They both have dominating wins at 1 1/8th. They both fight. Where else do you have that? Please don\'t tell me Materiality and Upstart.

Good Luck,
Joe B

So if a neg-2 horse had run in that race, Dortmund would have fought him off and run a neg-2 also?  Is this what you believe?

[jbelfior]

Not buying into Upstart\'s numbers. No wins at 1 1/8 ---good luck with him at 1 1/4.
If Upstart wins the Derby I wil retire from this game. And unlike you, I mean it.


Good Luck,
Joe B
