Hilarious isn't it? A potential superstar who could be worth millions of dollars who many on this forum bet at huge odds in the future book may be injured. I can't stop laughing.
Also, I thought stewards can't bet?

I did not want to be a negative sort, but this horse was carrying a lot of weight for a maiden winner. Almost reminds me of Arch colt Pletcher had at the Spa who was hyped as the 2nd coming, won first out, but made hard work of it, and lost his next race then went to the bench.

He carried a lot of weight for a Tapit, but it wasn't like he was too big (IMO) I thought he was a classic looking horse... As I stated earlier, hopefully it is minor...

Not surprised that someone like you would laugh at a horse having an injury problem and getting a kick out of people you know losing because of it. Par for the course.

You're a class act, Mitch.

I did not mean the horse himself, I think he looks like the real deal. But this horse was getting a TON of press off the stylish win, maybe too much for how hard it is for these horses to keep sound and progressing. I hope its minor, I dont see anyone out there yet that is the Derby winner, liked his chances as much as anyone else I have seen. Looking forward to see the Sheriffs MIzzen Mast this weekend. If he runs big think it flatters Flashback.

The Shirreffs should fare well..He is also exceptional looking and he was very one paced, as though more distance should help him...

Aren't Mizzen Mast horses usually like milers?

Middle distance horses...This horse is huge and steady...I am not incinuating he is a 1 1/4 horse, but I think he will be better going long than short...

What do you know about horse racing, all you do is call them.


I only know two things about horse racing. How to make a living for 35 years and that you're a moron.
