Any Given Saturday should be a great play today... but the sonofagun Nobiz scares the hell out of me! Reading Tagg's reasons (excuses) for the Derby, he has to move forward at some point, doesn't he?

[XIIPointStables]

No price to be had but it will be nice to see AGS make his way back to races.

Forget the Derby excuses... What are the excuses for the 6 previous identical races he ran? The horse has been running the same race at the same speed since his debut. It's actually bizarre. Doesn't move forward.. doesn't regress. I've never seen anything like it in a 2-3 year old...

As crazy as it might seem, you COULD argue excuses for all his races this year, the early ones not being cranked up, the Wood was a good race, the fig came back a little light because he never left the rail, and then the Derby... I guess we'll see today.

Nobiz was brilliantly named as he reminds me of Waiting for Godot.

Any Given Saturday romps today. I'm going to key him on top of Sightseeing for my exacta.

He's supposed to scratch- If not, I'd totally agree with you. . .

He is?.....I was unaware of that. Ok, then I guess I will go with Any Given Saturday. Nobiz was my Derby horse & he dissapointed me. He was sitting
5th with no one around him. He had a perfect stalking trip in what should have been a stalkers pace & he never fired. I am not willing to give him another chance yet, not @ 6-5 anyway.

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

With all the speed in the Tom Fool, does anybody give a chance to 20-1 rail horse - Awesome Twist...
to come flying late and get there at the wire? Ran well fresh a year ago. Why not at 20-1!!!

DRF said Frankel was probably going to scratch him but no confirmation on the NYRA site yet. . . I agree Nobiz is a big underlay- he just isn't that good. . . AGS or Sightseeing have it if Frankel scratches the winner. . .
