Heard it as I was driving. He remarked that similarly to Frank Whiteley's comment about Ruffian, every time she went onto the track he held his breath (I paraphrase). Her retirement disappoints - leaves me wanting more.

Or anything at all for that matter.

She might have looked like a machine and all that -- but I didn't see anything in her performances to justify the attention she got.

I felt her illustrious career was underwhelming.

Who do you like? You seem to diss a lot of horses. 3 this week, plus the insults about Gemologists campaign. For the record, I dont like Gemologist at all.

In other news, Gemologist suddenly became a lock to win the Kentucky Derby.

Ironically, the race is brought to us by Yum Foods.

I'm interested in playing the superfecta. Is there a fourth horse that you don't like?

Sure... Im not a fan of El Padrino or Mark Valeski if they get in. And yeah, Reveron belongs in a 50k claimer. So you can toss him in any race he runs in.

I would say you and IC should pool your money and play together, but he stays away from the windows. Hes a smart guy.

Be grateful with the trifecta.


I cant wait until omitting Union Rags blows up in people's faces.

He has not moved forward at all this year, if anything he has regressed.

It's fine, 17%, $2.40 ROI. That number is bolstered by a few longshots but he hasn't done as much shipping in recent years.

Yeah Nick, who do you like? All you seem to do is diss horses (3 this week apparently, but who is stalking...I mean counting anyway?) and that insult about Gemologist's campaign was just horrible.

You've really changed man.

Thanks, the exploits of Lava Man and Square Eddie had it clouded in my mind.
