Default DrugS Official '08 Derby Endorsement

It comes today and it goes to Pyro.


Now all we need to do is find out who Mortimer likes. He did "love" Jazil in the Belmont after all.

Three weeks out and Drugs is throwing it out there already. As of this very moment I'm with you, but PG may have me convinced that Cowboy Cal is a killer.

Agreed with you last year on AGS, and look where that got us. Sucks that I agree with you again.

It got you to where EVERYONE was by the end of the year: on the CURLIN bandwagon.

And you know what? ALL of YOU were on it from the start by that time.

Hell, even CJ was touting Curlin as a good thing on BC day. (Edit: just f'ckin around here. Anyone with any sense of what pace is, be it intuitive or quantitative, knows that CJ is, arguably, the best interpreter of it.)

Well, there was ONE exception: DanG -- he was all over AGS from the start and up to and including the BC.

Prior to the Derby, I said Curlin ran the three best individual races of any horse going into that Derby - if that is any consolation for you TFM.

I wasn't taking a short price on a horse who had never had dirt kicked in his face before - and was certainly going to get a big education from off the pace with all the speed in there. He became my Preakness horse though.

If i had to wager today i would probably put my money on Smooth Air. It seems he's been most consistant in his races and you know you'll get a great price.

I was expecting way more out of DrugS than a two sentence tout. Very disappointing.

Oh John.. Don't worry. Verbosity is pending... (Along with accompanying visual evidence more comprehensive than Officer Obie's in the great Thanksgiving Littering Case in Alice's Restaurant.)

While I don't understand the point to these early endorsements, DrugS has a good record in this department if I remember correctly. In the past, lightly regarded horses like Giacomo and Invisible Ink have received the coveted blessing from the indomitable one, and have gone on to seriously outrun their odds.

i like Bob Black Jack to finish itm. He's only got 6 reines on his bottom line. and he gets the lowest gsv in the field with 48.85. incredible.

he has substantial stamina support from his family and most numbers do not factor that. and we know he has the speed.

he's from the immediate family of Swain, a turf star. so the question is how will BBJ translate to the dirt. he surely is a maturing, improving runner over the poly.

twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.
