Yeah I'm talking about that has been who couldn't hold up Jimmy Jones's jock strap. His horse won't have graded enough stakes earnings to make the field.
You can take that to the bank. I've seen enough of this plodder.

Dullahan, 4th in BC Juvy; great grandson of Undridled; grandson of Smart Strike; bred to run 17 miles and peak at exactly 1.25 miles.

And half brother to Mine That Bird.

Empire Way, 2nd the other day; son of Empire Maker and grandson of Unbridled; bred to peak the first Saturday in May.

And full brother to Royal Delta.

Giacomo; enough said.

Giacomo could lie about his age and whip all of them.

P.S. Have you ever read the description of "dullahan" in Irish myths? Quite impressive:

The Irish dullahan (also Gan Ceann, meaning "without a head" in Irish) is a type of unseelie fairie. It is headless, usually seen riding a black horse and carrying his or her head under one arm. The head's eyes are massive and constantly dart about like flies, while the mouth is constantly in a hideous grin that touches both sides of the head. The flesh of the head is said to have the color and consistency of moldy cheese. The dullahan's whip is actually a human corpse's spine, and the wagons they sometimes use are made of similarly funereal objects (e.g. candles in skulls to light the way, the spokes of the wheels made from thigh bones, the wagon's covering made from a worm-chewn pall). When the dullahan stops riding, it is where a person is due to die. The dullahan calls out their name, at which point they immediately perish.

There is no way to bar the road against a dullahan—all locks and gates open on their own when it approaches. Also, they do not appreciate being watched while on their errands, throwing a basin of blood on those who dare to do so (often a mark that they are among the next to die), or even lashing out the watchers' eyes with their whips. Nonetheless, they are frightened of gold, and even a single gold pin can drive a dullahan away. The myth may have inspired the Headless Horseman in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Sounds like the perfect mount for you come May 5, Vince P.
Those of you who plan to bet on Dullahan should be advised to avoid gold. Which may mean he is allergic to the gold Derby trophy, too.

Dullahan is more legit than Optimizer and even beat him easily in a stakes race.

OMG!

Now I really, really, really, really, really, really, really like Dullahan. Just viewed a million pictures of one and I like what I see. And as you know, me being 117% Irish, just adds to my infatuation of Dullahan.

Folks we found the 2012 Darby winner...

DULLAHAN

Anyone who wagers on Dullahan in the Darby and loses, tweet me and I'll reimburse you TRIPLE your wager in unmarked loving bills.

I visited a certain prestigious museum on 191 Union Avenue Saratoga Springs, NY 12866

Blugrass Hall LLC, Optimizer's owner, had 4 winners for the calendar year 2011. Two straight maidens including Optimizer's turf win, one
maiden claiming race, and one non winners of two allowance win. Now they are going to win the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby???? Drug test.

[Crazykid]

so what. i heard babe ruth was pretty good too. the owner doesnt mean anything zero zilch none nothing
last time i checked the shieks who have outspent every body cant win the derby either.
talk is cheap, lets see what happens monday, a race i dont expect optimizer to win. all he has to do is come running at the wire to set him up perfectly for the rebel. if he were to win this race, then he would be doing it on pure class alone at a distance way to short for him, which at least to me would make him the derby favorite
