Joe, seriously, what is so enthralling about this horse? You know I have a great deal of respect for your opinions, as we usually see eye to eye, but I'm simply not finding anything at all to like about him - curious what is so great? He looks a distance-challenged, cheap speed horse that needs the lead to me.

Overanalyze is the horse to beat in my opinion here, unless War Academy moves up severely.

i think war academy is only getting a lot of notice because he's bafferts. his resume doesn't scream 'arkansas derby favorite'.

I will go out on a limb and surmise he thinks he has a better chance to win the Derby on Normandy Invasion.

Castellano had barely jumped off Normandy Invasion Saturday and he and his agent Matt Muziker were talking about sticking with him. They have ties to Chad Brown as established as those to Pletcher. Normandy Invasion is the 'now' horse. It's where I'd have gone if I was a jock's agent in that position.

Revolutionary would be a good fit for Jose Lezcano but his agent Jason Beides makes it sound like the WinStar camp is looking elsewhere.

Hat in ring but they're considering several.

Other than Golden Cents who are the speeds this year? Paceless Derby because of the new system that won’t allow straight sprinters in unless they routed already and earned points. This horse could pull a relatively easy trip sitting 3rd or 4th off a 47 half. Oxbow has tactical speed. He collapsed the race the other Lukas horse beat him in with a premature move and still ran on well. Distance is the thing I like most about him. I believe he will love the 10f. I also like War Academy. I think War Academy can beat him Saturday. I like them both in the Derby to be honest. I’m not sold on anything Todd has.

Castellano wasn't thrilled when he learned that Alabama Stakes couldn't get "Crazy Fingers" to agree to a year's worth of free braids for the jockey who rides Revolutionary.

I didn't take a pot shot at a 4 year old. I said your signature was big and screamed "look at me."

At least you're back to begging me for picks. It's what you're good at. well, that and being a douche.

Quite a combo.

begging ? you couldn't pick Dave Monaci out of a roomful of marathoners right now.

you are losing this thread badly. no insight whatsoever. Calling someone a douche on the internet is the equivalent of saying I ain't afraid of you to a man with handcuffs on. The board is laughing at you mooky.

Sorry I had her deported after a less than stellar braid. I lopped it off, didn't need her anymore.

You have no idea what you are talking about, but at least 5-10 people can verify I've been red hot recently.

See what you have been missing out on. Not smart enough to keep that fat mouth of yours shut. Always have to put your foot in it. Oh well.

Still laughing, you think?
