If you could tell the truth once then you would know I stated EITHER DIALED IN OR MMM. So,I was wrong,kinda like you screaming QR would win and take HOY. How did that work out for you? lol

No Mike. Nehro = 8.80

You wouldn't know anything about that you didn't cash on the Derby did you. Dialed In ? Lol.

Jayjay, you picked Dialed In to win the Derby. Somehow I feel no need to respond to you.

" You're right. I should be thrilled that the Derby was won by a horse that didn't even belong in the race. A single G3 win and the horse is in ? "

Nehro got in without having ANY graded wins...

NEWS FLASH!!! UNCLE MO DIDN'T LOSE THE DERBY!! WHY YOU KEEP KNOCKING THE HORSE? HE RAN 108 AS 2 YR OLD........DERBY 103 WAS ONE OF THE SLOWEST EVER.....STAY THIRTY IS OFF FORM BUT WAS GOOD....DONT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE OWNER AND TRAINER KNOW MO WAS WAYYYYY BETTER THAN TRIRSTY? AND YOU ARE KNOCKING A HORSE BECAUSE OF WHAT REASON? HE BEAT THE BEST ON CUP DAY? HE RAN MUCH FASTER THAN WINNER OF DERBY? THE 48 HALF WOULDVE BEEN BAD FOR HIM? YOU ARE IGNORANT IF YOU CAN'T SEE MO'S TALENT!!!

Mike, I believe Dialed In was your horse for the Derby. Need I say more ?

Look who's living in a glass house throwing rocks with your rant against ZOOKEEPER(someone with brains). We've had to listen to your silly crap for well over four months about Mo and comparing him to Secretariat. Is he better than Secretariat now,Dray? AK beat you,that's your fault. Instead of displaying a little class by giving him credit,you as usual go BUSHLEAGUE! Calling ZOOKEEPER a whiner,just underscores your inability to admit fault. When a horse beats you,blame yourself,not the horse. Your boasts about Mo being lock for the Triple,you look far beyond what I can say on this blog.

Dray:

Who gives a crap the horse won a grade 3. Now he won a Grade 1 and is improving.

I guess in your world horses do not improve they are what they are..

As of right now AK has accomplished more in his career than your Uncle Mo and right now his stud fee would be higher..

FACT,your six horse box tri paid how much? NOTHING..

Damn you are annoying.

Fact Quality road is still running..

Zookeeper. The final 1/4 for Dialed In looks great at 23.79 but he was in another state!

re: Kentucky Derby Picks, For What It's Worth

Draynay — Wed, 11 May 2011 18:16:19 GMT

Zookeeper let us know when you have an original thought. I gave you a 6 horse box and they finished 2nd 3rd and 4th. I gave you my top pick Nehro and he finished 2nd. What did you do ? Where are your picks ? I had to listen to Joyful Victory and Dialed In nonsense for weeks and for what ? I guess it's easy to run your mouth about me it stops you from having to talk about your lousy picks for the Derby. You come on here pretending to know something about horseracing but when the race is over and your horse hasn't hit the board you decide to deflect your anger on me. Try learning how to handicap so I don't have to hear you whine after every big race.

It was a busy week Zookeeper. I'm back. Just posted a new blog. Let's chat over there.

Dr D: gotcha now! I didn't read that Irwin went through 50 trainers.

Jimmer: absolutely correct!

Cold facts: I like the info you bring, just often disagree with your conclusions. But I do appreciate the research. Perhaps you simply need to follow your own advice on negative posters...simply ignore them.

Now to everyone more acquainted with the tracks than I...which Classic is represented by Margaritas? I'll take Tequila over Bourbon any day. Hacia Arriba!

M. Baze. Very tragic and sad news about his death. To loose good jockeys like Chris Antley and Ron Hansen and now Baze...

draynay i could see you doing that for not having AK lol

re: Kentucky Derby Picks, For What It's Worth

Householder — Wed, 11 May 2011 17:35:40 GMT

Ah yes...Barry Irwin. The folks who brought us Prized and Marshal Law. He was really upset that some of the partnership in AK got really crappy seats at the Derby.

How cool is it that Bobby Frankel trained both Leroidesanimaux, the sire of Animal Kingdon, and Medaglia D' Oro, the sire of Plum Pretty?

JIMMER

Your comments about Dray are on point. AK beat him,that's what he's upset about. Ask him what happened to Uncle Mo.

trackjack, Dr. D and I are not related, but he is my butler. Nice summary of your Derby week. My Derby fever doesn't die until the day after the Belmont and then it tanks like a Draynay chalk pick. So did you all meet on Derby Day? Tell me how weird everyone was in person. I got stood up on my date with mz (apparently she was holding up a 2X2 inch "poster").

re: Kentucky Derby Picks, For What It's Worth

Draynay — Wed, 11 May 2011 16:16:31 GMT

You're right. I should be thrilled that the Derby was won by a horse that didn't even belong in the race. A single G3 win and the horse is in ? The horse never touches dirt and wins the Kentucky Derby ? What a fine crop we have this year. Lol. With that type of foundation you expect him to come back in just 2 weeks and have another top performance ? Good luck with that. Let me know how much you are betting on him for the win.

Mike Relva and Johnny,

I just couldn't take it anymore, but Jimmer is right, we should stop responding to Dray. At times, most of this blog consists of Draynayisms and a volley of answers to him. After a while, it's boring and aggravating all at the same time. So many other people contribute something of value to this blog. It's a shame that it gets lost in a sea of childish comments.

Speaking of valuable contributions, where are you GunBow? What are your thoughts on this Kentucky Derby? Can't wait to read your opinion of it. I'd like to hear from Jason also... but he remains silent. Hmmm!
