I guess time will tell on that one. What kind of Smart ass'd comment did you have for SS not winnin the Derby?

Just to make sure we're on the same page here, I don't think CQ under any circumstance will beat SS, I'm just sayin wait 5 weeks and try again.

Apparently you missed the "Crow" thread. I'm sorry you bet CQ.

Poor Pletcher.

I dont think there was a ride in the bunch Randall.
I think he covered all the bases.

Balto Star may be the best horse he's taken there.

U could have held on. The horse wasn't running that fast.

Well, if you did fall off, you could have gotten off and outrun him to the wire.

this isn't some allowance race. Velasquez was highly expected to ride the Tabor horse for Pletcher.

It would have been awkward if he made any other decision.

Pedigree issues for Scat Daddy , AGS , and Cowtown Cat aside.
