Wow, I am not even considering using 7 out of his top ten. Colonel John, Tale of Ekati, and Visionaire are the ones I am considering using....

he wins, and I leave Churchill with car keys and half my wallet

I have to think he just got his dates mixed up and the ratings he came up with were meant as an April fools joke.

As soon as I saw his list, I forarded it to a friend with essentially the same comments you have. This is downright nutty.

I liked Monba in the Bluegrass, posting that I did an exacta box of he and Pyro-a dumb bet. I liked Monba from a synthetic surface angle only and it could have paid off if I'd wagered correctly.


Monba will bomb on dirt

Oh! I see the attraction to this thread now. Let's not let the back-and-forth disintegrate into a YouTube level of discourse,though

jms!? I'm afraid I'm strongly with old warhorses like DruGs and Dahoss on this one

And what do you have against rolling another one?

Here is the deal.. Haskin knows more about horses and racing than most on this thread combined. He was getting dissed. I simply pointed out that the last 2 years he has had some observations during derby week on training that helped sway me back onto horses that I was considering tossing out at the top of my ticket thats all. These juveniles than proceeded to assume that my entire source of handicapping was based on what Steve said... They also bashed my thoughts on an immediate throw out of the juvenile champ (cept last year) irrespective of the fact that it worked some 20 odd imes in a row. There are some that basically simply attack every post that is put on these boards it somehow validates who they are. My fault for getting into a pissing contest. I'm done on the topic.

As analyzed earlier, it didn't work 20-some odd years in a row because only 14 juvenile champs actually made the Derby starting gate. It's really tough taking a stand against a horse who isn't even competing in a given race.

That's the way you made it sound, dude. Take it easy.
