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.

Pretty placeless Derby on paper! Does that bother you at all?

Do you really think he took the pace of the race into consideration when he declared this horse the Derby winner when the horse was still two years old?

may 4th you'll be eating your words hot shot. Maybe I should analyze things for you, so that you might have a clearer vision of what Quiet Chris and I saw that told us this was the Derby winner.

you would have to ask, and say please.

I don't think anyone who walks away with $44,226.55 in one afternoon needs help analyzing things.

To be fair, you proclaimed him the Derby winner after he was one of, if not the most talked about maiden coming out of the Saratoga meet based on his debut.

After he was beaten in his 2nd start you abandoned ship.

You're also the same guy who said Fire On Ice was built well and was sound and he made 1 total start after his debut.

But Quiet Chris is a good buddy for you to have. Water usually seeks its own level.

Fire and Ice ran horribly not once but twice after holding off Revolutionary. I'm pretty sure they got the money that day. Revolutionary probably ruined him by making him run too fast.

"One of, if not most talked about maiden races "

This must have been why he opened at 150-1. We were ready and he was 75-1 in a flash. This hoss has a will to win. did you see him in the Withers between hosses late ? he looked like Summer Squall bullying his way through traffic at Saratoga as a 2 year old. His mare won the Alabama, has a great turn of speed, is very athletic, and looks the part. = Derby/Preakness/Belmont

Try and follow a long. Fire on Ice was a Kimmel 2 year by Unbridled's Song who ran a whole in the wind in his debut. You were high and him and could tell he was built well. Built so well he has made a total of 2 starts in 4 years.

After Little Distorted whipped up on Revolutionary you and your buddy abandoned ship. Only to return after the Withers.

Revolutionary was easily the 2nd biggest hyped maiden to come out of the Pletcher barn at Saratoga based on his debut.

Fire On Ice was Travers day 2012. He beat a Zito Bernardini and a well bet Pletcher/Repole entry. I believe one of the Repoles was Our Entourage who is with Jacobson now.

he would have had what i consider an awesome afternoon without it.

definitely needs help.

Who needs money when you can pound your chest boasting about a horse on a message board.
