Smoking G is my pick but if he scratches (there's a chance?) I'll go with American Act.

Race was weak but scratched into is a fuking disgrace. 21 for Southwest but 4 for a Prep at Santa Anita.. Come on apoligists, paint that positive. California is no longer relevant on the Derby Trail.

LOL. Really Why not go back to fukin 1960. Irrele-Fuking-Vent... Enjoy, I don';t give a fuk what you did 5 years ago let alone10 "Great Race, Disgrace Place" but at least it looks good on HBO... Oaklawn 21- "The Great Race Disgrace" 4.

So when do you feel it went irrecoverably wrong in Southern Cal???

Yep, I figured as much. I wonder what you'll have to say if Creative Cause trains on. Or if Bodemeister and Fed Biz graduate into the stakes ranks. Or if Out Of Bounds progresses from his Sham win. Or if Midnight Transfer stretches out effectively. Or if Liaison rebounds. Or if Secret Circle, Castaway, and Longview Drive do well in your precious Southwest Stakes tomorrow.

Probably something with 'fuk' in it.

With regards to CA's relevancy on the Derby Trail, it hasn't.

Where were you for the Sham and the Robert Lewis? Where will you be for the San Felipe and the Santa Anita Derby?

You're using a 7f stakes run in late February to negate a whole crop (and all future crops) of horses.

That's a dumb fuking platform.

Nice to see someone get his name right. I always want to fix it when people get it wrong - probably cause everyone gets mine wrong and so it bugs me!

Why don't I go away now?

Getting away, for only a second hopefully, from the idiocy of dismissing a group of horses simply because of their location ( hard to get much more indefensible than that ), that was some performance by Creative Cause. It's easy to say that he was simply running against weak horses last year, and clearly many more talented horses have emerged out West in the last two or three months, but at some point it also doesn't say a lot about the BC Juvenile. Maybe Union Rags really was four lengths best given his wide trip, but he really needs to prove it this year, else that whole bunch may be very suspect.

What?
Are you tossing Hansen after a 1 turn prep race, where had a troubled start?
We all know horses that win, or run very well, in the BC USUALLY need a race when starting the next season.

I think Hansen could be tough in the Kings Bishop. He was never a KY Derby contender.

No way Hansen is getting the 10f at Churchill in the Derby.
At Santa Anita this Fall...possibly.

Ironically, only the 10th (Drill), 11th (Alpha), and 13th (Prospective) -place finishers have gone on to win anything of note since that race.

I hope Aidan O'Brien takes notice of this with 12th-place finisher, Daddy Long Legs. Scat Daddy is hot right now, too.

Drill hasn't done anything to make me take notice and Alpha's BC was a toss. It's also not clear he's that good either.

It's hard to gauge anything on that track right now, speed just doesn't seem to be coming back, American Act came on again after losing the lead, granted it was on the gutless Drill but it's like running in quicksand trying to close, Creative Cause also wasn't liking the whip and was swapping leads down the stretch.
