It sure did take a genius to see Curlin and Rachel were something special after they had hit the track. Go John!

So David Ingordo has as much to do with Zenyatta being successful as John Shirreffs? Come on.

true.

i fail to see how who picked a horse out has any impact on how the horse turns out. either a horse has talent, or he doesn't. are you really suggesting a horse suddenly runs faster because of the person who picks him out at a sale? if john smith had picked out curlin, or joe shmo picked out charismatic, they'd have been slower because the right guy didn't buy them?
but then, i fail to see how your rudeness proves your point either, so i guess i'm just loony like that.

good thing titan didn't try to get someone to buy him, he wouldn't have turned out so well.

I would venture to say any successive post coming from your user name would enter the stupidest post of the year derby considering you think it made perfect sense for McPeaked to send Noble's Promise over to England to run in a race he had no chance to win, and didn't even hit the board in. Smart man that McPeaked. You sir, are a tard.

Oh I have a clue alright...I did fine for myself last weekend. And sure, I would love seeing my trainer send a horse accross to England where I have to pay for the trip to be unplaced. If I was a jealous, broken down gambler, pretty sure I wouldn't have a computer to post behind. Get back to me when you get a clue which might happen when Ken McPeaked actually develops a horse. But since McPeaked can't develop horses, it more than likely never happens.

Ok, Einstein was hand picked by McPeek and the owner choose to give the horse to Helen because she worked for McPeek and she either got fired or went out on her own. I'm not sure about the exact particulars. And Curlin also was hand picked by McPeek and she assumed training of him as well. But, 2 think McPeek had no influence on how these horses were trained then that's just foolish. I suppose you think J. Sahadi trained Elmhurst and Lit De Justice also right?

Your psuedo-insider mantra just fizzles when you shrug off how Helen Pitts went out on her own.

Keep preaching McPeek is the best, everyone's listening.

Congratulations, he developed ONE. For every Harlan's Holiday for McPeaked there's a Beautician. Make that for every one Harlan's Holiday there's 3 Beauticians.

And you really think Harlan's Holiday was that good? If you do I have a bridge I want to sell you in Brooklyn. He was good, but no superstar.

Were you the guy who said they liked Hamazing Destiny going into the BC? If so, nice!

Yes, I did figure he was going to run huge last Saturday. I wish he would have won instead of gotten 2nd because that would have made for a better Exacta and a win bet, but he's always had talent. Just been waiting for him to run a race like that.

Maybe it's a hermaphrodite.

Cute huh...giving out information that you think is insider info, when the whole world knows about the information. Actually the horse didn't debut until February of 09 so it was about a year and a half ago that the sale happened, not exactly a few years back. The colt is only 4. Horse has some real ability sprinting over fast dirt. You think you know it all I see...certainly you know more than a Hall of Fame trainer with many Champions, 5 Derby Winners and the leading all time BC Trainer. You know more than him. Moron.

It was the fastest splits of the meet. D. Wayne bought this guy with the hopes of stretching him out. Unfortunately he had distance limitations. Also, I like Lukas and have marveled at his accomplishments. I always said success leaves blueprints. Just ask Todd Pletcher who uses a white bridle in honor of his mentor. Lukas was the greatest salesman of his or anyone's time. Amazing really. So sad what happened to his son Jeff though.

Of course they were going to try and stretch a horse out who ran like that first time out. You pay that much money for the horse, you shoot for the moon first, then if it can't happen, come back down to earth. The only odd stuff with this colt was running on the grass and synthetics.

This guy takes the cake. But, his posting history proved that a long time ago.
