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.

Typo, you knew I was talking about Little Distorted. ELO song Fire and Ice was on in the background (theme from CBS sports spectacular in 70's). so I typed the wrong hoss in.

You are right on Fire and Ice though. Looked like the goods, wasn't. Dead wrong on that hoss. What ever happened to that hoss anyway ?

Not sure who my buddy is, but I never jumped ship. He's gonna win. His biggest obstacle is that I love him so much.

Interesting that you keep knocking me, but not the hoss. That's a good sign.

He's one of like 10 who can win. I have no major knocks on him other than it will be a miracle for him to win carrying all that mush weight.

I'm afraid this is a weight that Normandy Invasion is soon to be toting as well. WAY too much chatter about him.

My thoughts exactly. I was hoping he'd be in the 20-1+ range on 5/4, but that looks unlikely.

Anyone that paid even an INKLING of attention today should've clearly seen it was Borel's inability to follow railbird advice that led to the 3rd place finish.

Not like he stunk up the place, ala Gemologist, whom some dope touted to an even higher degree on another board last year.

thank you. he ran hard, got beat fair and square. craziest thing is that on the NBC feed I was watching, I thought he was gonna win. Couldn't believe he didn't get up. When I watched the pan shot, it was a different story.
Am really glad for Mr Phipps and Shugga Dugga though. They've given so much over the years.

I wonder how the NFL would do if the star players said they needed to take the rest of the year off in the middle of the season..........probably about as well as horse racing is doing with its fan base.
