Default Cotton Balls for No Biz

Got to like this move by Tagg. Not only does he add blinkers but he is going to put some cotton balls in No Biz's ears. Well at least there were there in his last work. I this is an old trick but I love when trainers reach deep into their bag of tricks to try to find something that works. No Biz is a talented horses. I hope all of this works out for him. I wonder if there is going to be a new equipment change logo for adding/removing cotton balls in the DFR.

I really do think NoBiz has the most talent, maybe outside of Street Sense, in this 3 year old crop. I think if the blinks and cotton do the trick, we might be seeing a great strech duel between Biz and Sense in the Derby.

I have to agree with the both of you. I will not be wagering this weekend but I do look forward to a nice performance from No Biz. I also look forward to a potential rivalry between SS, No Biz and possibly ANG.

I hate to break up this Nobiz lovefest, but what exactly has he done on the track that makes you believe A) he has such incredible talent and that B) he is not just a headcase who ran away from a couple of bad fields and caught everyone's attention.

On paper he just doesn't compare to Any Given Saturday. Nobiz spun his wheels last time, playing around the whole way and came up short in a race where they weren't exactly flying home. Now Barclay Tagg, usually as traditional a horseman as they come is trying everything but the kitchen sink to straighten out this guy's myriad problems.

If I'm proven wrong then so be it, but as of right now Nobiz has not done anything on the track that leads me to believe he is faster than Any Given Saturday or a few others from this year's crop.

not trying to knock Nobiz or Barclay Tagg...but in my opinion having to resort to something like earplugs to get a horse to focus isn't quite what I want in my derby horse...there is no crazier day than Churchill on May 6th...talent or no, I wouldn't want my money to rest on a headcase in that scenario. (and before anyone reminds me I know that plenty of headcases have won the derby, I just don't think this one will)
