i don't understand why people think he could rule the crowd this year-he has to have things just so; not exactly the mark of a top class horse. now, he's been useful, and has won some money-but only when all the conditions are right.

Tiago is Perfect Drift-esque... doesn't win, but collects checks.

Tiago is screaming out for dirt! The Handicap Div. is up for grabs in the East. Great time for a filly to step out. I hate Poly but that's where the better horses seem to be, and they don't seem better than much. Top Handicap horse? COMMENTATOR!

I had Magnum in my pick 4, but couldn't find Italian Rules and I singled Mo Cheese in the night cap. Vic I think your rider is putting his mounts in the right place and beating the other boys to the punch. Keep up the good work.

I mean look at where Champs Elysees finished...7th was he? Isn't he a lot better than that?

No he's not. Why did all of those horses stay so far back when the pace was that slow? It wasn't impossible for them to close at all. They should have been up closer so they wouldn't have had to close from so far back.

Tiago, or Doggio as I like to call him, was not really that far behind Magnum.

Magnum however, wasn't exactly up close and on Well Armeds ass either.

Doggio, also, isn't really a true closer when the pace is slow. Quite a few times he's laid up pretty close to a slow lead.

Chumps flat out sucks on the Pro-Ride. Either that or he isn't the same horse he was a year ago when he ran in the Big Crap. Not that he was much back then either.

Beat me to it ...

And didn't the vaunted Pyro always suck up for something that led people to believe he had much more ?

Never liked him either .

I doubt Zenyatta would do more than lift her tail over Tiago's efforts ...
