He has a reputation in the Saratoga/Ballston Spa area as being an honest guy.

Yeah I'm leaving on Friday.

I like Trappe Shot but it looks like McPalsy doesn't have the good stuff this meet.

I actually really don't see people's avatars. It's one of the first things I learned to block when I started going to message boards.

Later I started blocking posters.

I would not argue with anyone saying Trappe Shot is the most talented horse in here.

In this case, I feel even more special that Im not blocked.

I stand corrected.

You'd think it would be the other way around though.

I think you'd appreciate my new avatar, btw.

It's a picture of Archie Bunker, and I'm using it to pay homage to TFM.

I'm using two horses. The other is Ice Box. Lezcano off is H-U-G-E

What do you base that on?

C'mon coach you know how this story ends

The lack of any brilliance. His huge Belmont win crushing a horse who has come back to run 2 triple digit beyers. His Monmouth races were strong losing to only the divisions leader while defeating at least 4 of these already. I'd say most raw talent is him or Afleet Express.

Yeah changing my mind and throwing him out and watching Leparoux move him wide down the stretch to a victory?

The Belmont there was no excuse. Last race it's well documented that Lezcano has been on another planet. Probably one of those new planets NASA is going to announce tomorrow. So throwing the last out and going back to Fla. Derby and Ky Derby if there is a slight improvement he has as good a shot as any.

And the price should be good.

Admiral Alex, I salute you .

Coach, as much as I have been against Ice Box, he is the one Im tossing Im most worried about. The pace could be swift and he might be running late.

He got a better trip last out than those also coming out of that race. Doutful he finishes 2nd if Bravo doesn't move prematurely on AA, leading to the collapse of the race. Now he's going 10F and will surely be forced to run at a critical point of the race, rather than last moving the field. No thanks.
