8-5?!?!

what in the hell are those people smoking?!

I think he pretty much handles this field. The only other horse I would even consider is Arson Squad. But there is no pace in this race and Brother Derek should be able to handle this field.

i don't know...winless since the santa anita derby.

I hear you on that. But Sweet Return was also winless in her last 9 starts and she won today. She got soft easy fractions and I picture the same for Brother Derek.

Should gallop

Danzig · #6 02-03-2007, 07:35 PM

yeah, you watch now that i've started this-- he waltzes!

Danzig · #7 02-03-2007, 07:35 PM

And won it looking backwards...As much as I hate to say it, it appears as though he just had a great day... Turns out he's clearly not the horse everyone (including me) thought he was....

The roof is on fiyah!!

Danzig · #10 02-03-2007, 08:20 PM

nicely done by arson squad.

and the thing is...next time derek runs, he'll get bet down again. name recognition.

Why dont they have BRO D sent to the lead anymore????This horse is not going to rate!!! he seems so uncomfortable being held back. Let him run his race and then cash in.

The Bid · #12 02-04-2007, 01:44 AM

I like Dan Hendricks, but.....

I think they need a trainer change, something needs to change. That horse has shown flashes of being a racehorse, and hes way too good looking to run like that

I hate to tell you this but he was never held back. He's just a slow horse. He never had quick early fractions. Just had the lead against slower horses. I thought it was unbelievale that he managed a 4th in the Ky Derby. Ofcourse it was a very distant 4th. Then 4th in the Preakness..
hmm did he rn 4th yesterday?

Hey I found a key in the super

He gets bet every single time. I don't get it.

Same thing I was smoking

Espinoza gave Midnight Lute another 3wide 1st turn, 4 wide second turn ride.

solis...bad..bro derek,,should be named the tin man..NO HEART..ALL HE EVER WANTED TO BE WAS BUD FOX..LMFAO

paisjpq · #18 02-03-2007, 07:52 PM

UGGGH...whether or not he is the best horse in the race...just once I would like to see Midnight Lute break well...get in a good position early...and then get a good ride to the finish line...without going 6 wide or the jock moving early....I know I am asking a lot

He gave him the same exact wide crappy ride three weeks ago.
