Monica V...What does the MG have to do with the PE?.....just because she was eased does not mean anything...

who did she ran against in the MG? and the MG was what 9 furlongs? why are you fans today have NO CLUE ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 9 furlongs and 10 furlongs????

Chucky,

You are so wrong. In the Personal Ensign, she was running the same race as the Woodward. She was running way to fast for 10 furlongs. I don't remember what the winning margin was but it wasn't by much. Had she stalked, she proably would have won. How do you explain her Mother Goose?

She was eased the last 100 yards and was 1/5 second off of Secretariat's track record. Had she not been eased she probably would have broken it. How about the Haskell? Just a tick off the track record in the slop. She was no fluke. She was a great horse and was dead tired after that Woodward leading all the way. You can say all you want but you nor anyone else can convince me she wasn't the real deal. You sound hateful, maybe you aren't but you seem to delight in putting Rachel down. I dont understand it. No 3 year old filly has ever done what she did and it is unlikely that another ever will. You get over it.

Check Yourself Dray, There is a very strong odor of failure coming from your person.

Draynay-

Dont forget your betting $2000 to win on Uncle Mo.... I know you think we need to hear who you like, we all know you like whatever the blink is on the board in every race... I will be posting the horse I think will win each race on Saturday's BC card tomorrow night on the newest blog Jason has. Right now it is the Pick's Blog so look for it. Draynay I want you to mail me that losing Uncle Mo win ticket that says $2000 Win #12... Don't think I want a bunch of losing tickets your picking up on the ground after the Classic that equals $2000 either. If you say your the man and talk all the crap like you do put it up and show us. 1 ticket $2000 win Uncle Mo. If Uncle Mo loses which he will I will let Jason know my home address and he can forward it to you so you can send me the losing ticket and I will post it for everyone to see on these blogs. BUT we all know your not betting $2000 on Mo to win so don't worry when you don't respond we know your doing what you do best DUCKING! As for Friday's BC card didnt look at it don't care about it and if they continue to add stupid races (Marathon, 2yr Sprint, Dirt Mile) the Breeders Cup will become more and more of a disappointment and nothing more then a way for them to make $$$ at the expense of gamblers. STOP ADDING RACES! The Breeders Cup was better when it was a 1 day event! NO interest in Friday's races other then seeing the track conditions and looking for track bias. Good luck everyone at the windows...

Billy, Larry should leave the not so subtle sarcasm to others its not his forte. His own owner said he couldn't compare HDG to other mares or fillies just yet.

Larry made that comment in his press conference, Repole made his comment while trading barbs with the TVG people. Don't buy into that stuff too much. A lot of it is just soundbites for good tv or a hype for their horses and racing.

Mike Repole was probably taking a bit of a shot at Frankel's connections for not coming and Larry was not doing himself any favors. Hope he hasn't forgotten what can happen.

It's you that makes a sad attempt of latching on to important individuals that wouldn't give you the time of day. Yeah, I know what Jones was referring to, do you? Let's see what Jones, Porter says when it goes sideways Saturday.

Ah, Mike, can always count on you to follow my posts and respond. I guess the shot that Larry Jones took just went right over your head. Back to your mom's basement. Are you going to come to Churchill this weekend Mike, or are you going to sit in your mom's basement waiting for one of your blog idols to post a comment so you can join in? Pathetic

Monica V...

Anybody told you that overrated overhyped Rachel has no kick...

go watch her youtube Personal Ensign...

you one of those that got hoodwinked by the eastern media...um..like that "filly for the AGED?"

lmfao!!!! and why would anybody hate a horse...just stating facts..

she was a product of marketing and hype...get over it....

re: Live Longshots

Can I get some of what Mike Repole is smoking ? Mo beats Frankel at mile....That will never happen.

re: Live Longshots

Draynay — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:09:39 GMT

Longshots are a bunch of BS. Not one of you has said you are betting big money on a longshot. Until you do please stop your nonsense. I will have 200 to win and 200 to place on Plum Pretty. Take a longshot and let me know how it works out for you.

re: Live Longshots

Draynay — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:06:51 GMT

Mr. Pibb post all your BS longshots that you are going to place MONEY on so we can count up all your losses.

When you bet 200 to win and 200 to place on a 3 to 1 and it wins you do very well thank you very much. I throw in a few longshots in the sprints in my pick 3's but betting on longshots on Friday will make you go broke.

Sheesh, Dray & KY Vet, Where did you two go to school ? Dray has now spelled SOMALI LEMONAID 3 different ways without getting it right. KY Vet, It's My Miss Aurelia (not one word),Goldikova, Trappe Shot, Caracortado and Caspar Netscher. KY Vet, If you want to have more credability then Dray you really need to spell the names correctly.

THAS will win the Classic. Like what I see with TD, think she will take it.

It's great that rinky dink quotes make you buckle at the knees. A silly comment by Repole regarding Mo beating Frankel since they aren't racing one another. Here's a quote for you Repole doesn't have a crystal ball.

Chucky,

Did Rachel Alexandra kick you? You seem to really hate her.

re: Live Longshots

mr pibb — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:17:15 GMT

Since when is it "longshot" for a horse to go off at 3/1 or less draynay? You are they only one who could look at two days worth of races and come up with only one mediocre "longshot" on either card. Who picked that one for you? Was it flopsy, mopsy, or another wiener dog? My guess is one of them did a do do on your racing form over that name so you took it as an omen.

draynays better half — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:06:11 GMT

Just made last minute plans. Was invited to the backstretch on Friday and Saturday, made resv. and WILL GO.

Have to pinch myself; after winning Road To The Roses in 2010, was able to go to last years BC and witness Goldikova, Uncle Mo and of course the great battle between Blame and Zenyatta. As guests of Churchill Downs this year, did the Oaks and Derby from the 6th Floor Skye Terrace. Now I'll be able to witness this years BC from the backstretch through a friend.

As much as I like to bet, being there live and seeing these great warriors up close means more to me and I can bet also.

Will post my picks later, wanted to share my joy!

Looks more like you wanted to toot your own horn. I'd ask if you were related to draynay but that's not possible, you seem to have some pretty good handicapping skills. Too bad you feel the need to crow.

re: Live Longshots

KY VET — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:04:22 GMT

How many of you realize? That other than UNCLE MO , EVERY RACE run by SO YOU THINK would beat every horse in the classic! Yes ..every single race...is better than any horses' best...how often do you see that? So dirt is the only question huh?....this horse is just plain best!!!(unless if mo is the superhorse they think he is).....

re: Live Longshots

draynays better half — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:00:47 GMT

I like Dayatthespa, Alpha, and To Honor And Serve who is the best 3 yr old in training right now as my longshots plays.

Leave it to draynay to tout a bunch of faves or near faves on a longshot blog. The guy never gets it no matter the subject.

I see some like Ultra Bend. I do to but better check this out, I heard she grabbed a quarter in her last work. Know anything about that Jason?

The Deacon — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:52:21 GMT

Excellent comments by all but I never understand why folks need to make this personal. Everyone has a right to an opinion. I always say we can agree to disagree. I have said this all along, until Uncle MO fails at 10 furlongs it is unknown whether he can get the distance. To speculate that he can't is ridiculous, let him run the distance at least once and lets see. Maybe you're right about him, maybe not, but I am looking forward to seeing for myself.

Picks:

Juvenille Fillies Turf:

Sweet Cat 10-1 Gomez & Pletcher

Juvenille Fillies Dirt:

Grace Hall 4-1 morning line

Filly & Mare Turf:

Stacelita: best bet of the weekend for me.

Ladies Classic:

Miss Match 10-1 longshot

Plum Pretty 2-1 she won here in the Kentucky Oaks and I feel she loves the track. Horses for courses...

Juvenille Turf:

Majestic City 4-1

Breeders Cup Sprint:

Big Drama... loves the track, but is he right? That is the question.

Breeders Cup Turf Mile:

Gio Ponti 4-1...........hope its his turn........

Breeders Cup Classic:

Harve de Grace: she makes the race legitimate. In the exotics, I will throw in To Honor and Serve, Game On Dude and So You Think. If Mo' wins then so be it.

My opinion, the hardest race to handicap for the weekend is the Dirt Mile. I believe 7 out of the 9 horses entered have a legitimate shot at winning. I will pick Wilburn but not too confident.

Good luck to all and please let everyone have their say, it's just horse racing...

re: Live Longshots

KY VET — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:46:06 GMT

Biggest STICKOUT in the cup races is GOLDIKOVA....nobody in there...maybe other foriegn horse...love CASPER on sat....6 to 1? wow....time to make money!!!!
