Dr Roman tabs Master of Hounds in Derby
 

Not that everyone will care but Dr Roman has indicated that he will back Master of Hounds to win the Derby. Derby Kitten, Mucho Macho Man and Midnight Interlude are ones he will use, also finding spots to use Comma to the Top and Soldat.

Oh god.

I hope he bets a lot.

In other news, it was announced earlier today that this years Ky Derby was to be run at Keeneland.

FTFY.

FTFY

Yeah, either way...

Because I wanted my brain to explode, I went to Dr. Romans super high-tech website (copyright 1996 or so, I'd guess) and read his reasoning for picking Master of Hounds, which is basically that the field stinks and he's taking a stab at a long shot. No science involved really, just taking a stab. That's basically dosage in a nutshell.

I want to know who Dale Romans tabs

Yeah, pretty much a price stab, his reasoning is somewhat interesting (although nothing new). I still can't make up my mind about the horse, plenty of reasons to discard but yet I just have a feeling....probably gas.

For anyone interested in reading his thoughts:

Are you on his payroll or something? :confused:

Nope, but there are some folks here who have requested dosage and other info from his site...I post the link for them.

There are?

I'd like to get myself dosaged up pretty good right now.

Thanks for the summary, I couldn't spend the time looking at all the figs on that site

I hope Dr. Romans didn't read Mike Welschs Clocker report from this morning, he said the horse looks stiff and dull.

Team Valor is another one of those syndicates that just like to go to the Derby regardless of the condition of the horse.

I saw Dr Greenfield almost "collapse from fright or anxiety" at the 2001 Belmont Stakes.

I was sitting about 20 feet diagonally behind the starting gate almost on the rail for the 2001 Belmont. The sound from the grandstand was deafening....sounded like a coming tornedo...the ground was shaking from the reverberation of 100,000 people screaming and pounding.
Dr. Greenfield was shaking so hard, I though he was going to "die of fright". He had a hard time loading into the gate and never did get off well.
Poor thing was a skinny guy too boot.
Anyone with eyes could see this horse was ill prepared for this race. And the Team Valor syndicate had scores of people running around with stethascopes around necks:zz:

He's in my top 6. I like Santiva a little bit more, but think this horse has the best chance so far out of the Euros that have come for the Derby in years. Just my $.02.

:eek:
