If the race was in your words "a toss", "nothing like the kentucky derby", "like a mountaineer claiming race", "very unusual IYO"
why in ****s name do you care what that guy picked?

you already answered your question.

The bottom line is that Hold That Bird saved us from enduring a lot of falsehoods about what would have been a dramatically misunderstood result.

its very rarely speed and not inside, the two are related.

Also, the winner of the 12th, I believe, had an inside trip as well.

yes he did, no need to look at facts like that.

So we can assume that these both these horses would have
been ahead of the rest of the field by oh, 8 or 9
lengths, running in a quagmire. We knew before the
race these horses had some crossbreeding with
amphibians.

No huge ifs and buts here.
No wild assumptions.
Before they ran this thing, it was clear these
horses where at least 8 lengths better than the
rest.

Gotcha.

People did listen to Orson Wells on the radio also.
So I guess this is a joke.

Thanks Danzig. I did know about the prior Mandella connection. My question is more about the brisnet.com past performance chart in the day or two prior to the draw.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but I believe it showed Mandella as the current trainer of Mine That Bird.

Here's the link if it still works:

Yes.

The fact you posted about ignoring me.

I do find the PM's very telling though.

It is a crushing blow.

Think about it.....someone so afraid to stand up to you on the internet that they need to do it through a private message.

Excuse me while I laugh myself silly.

Great logic.
Get in the batters box again,
keep your eye on the ball.

How can I become everyone like you?

I'm just not buying it. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the rail hurt, and maybe it helped a little, but the winner RAN......and that's the biggest factor. It was the horse....not the rail and not the rider. Not a criticism of Borel, who is a low percentage jockey, that probably hurts more horses than he helps with his rail riding nonsense, and his act worked yesterday, but let's also not pretend that the rider got in a horse suit and masqueraded himself into the winner's circle.

You people really do go on about nothing. The only paper that matters in racing is the green kind. And Borail did get the Oaks/Derby Double, which was good enough reason for me to bet HIM in the Derby. Might not be sophisticated enough for some, but it worked for my bank account!

Then why did you type this?

I will stop wasting posting space.

Its very clear what my intentional post was about
and it is also clear how absurd and easy it is
to say two horses sidelined would have won a race
as difficult as that race. It was a save face cop out.

How can you give someone grief for having an opinion on the outcome of the race yet you picked Hatton to beat Pacquiao?
