Subscriber Draynay Barbaro never lost a race period he was injured while running in one.

Please stop comparing horses to Big Brown. He never lost a race under 1 1/2 and was undefeated on turf.

BTW if Big Brown didnt get that 2yo race in on December 23,8 days later the racing gods would have instigated the Apollo rules to any hope he would have to win the kentucky Derby.

What is foundation ? it is a word still used by persons that think it makes them sound like experts in the sport of horseracing in the 21st century.It was valid in the 20th century as 2 and 3yo colts ran more races in their two and three year old campaigns and did not take a long time resting on a farm somwhere between races.When they got back to racing all that fitness that was gained(which is actually what foundation is)was mostly lost and they would have to be slowly trained back to fitness.Do you think Big Brown knew he had it(foundation)when he got a race in at the end of his 2 year old campaign, December 23 8 days before his foundation membership card would have expired.

Draynay,

"He is moving like a tremendous machine." Those were the words of track announcer Chick Anderson, who used to announce at Dade Park (now Ellis Park). Chick lived in Evansville, Indiana during parts of the 60's and 70's. I was born in Evansville, but left for service in the Air Force in 1969. When I came back from Vietnam I was stationed at MacDill AFB in Tampa and have lived in the Tampa Bay Area since then. And now ya know part of my history.

Vajayjay, what you don't understand is I picked my Derby horse a long time ago. Union Rags is the best horse in the race. With a decent trip he wins and wins big. This is a very average crop this year and he is a man playing with boys. Just stand back and watch a MASTER at work. Do as I say or lose.

Draynay : Boxing 5 or 6 horses is not rare, I myself have never done it but this year's KD, it might require that to hit the super. Having said that though, you boxing 6 horses and then claiming you picked the winner of the KY Derby is garbage. We all know that you know that you know nothing about horseracing. It makes you gambler, not an expert.

furlongs : While I enjoy your posts when it comes to Draynay and you know how much I enjoy making fun of his handicapping abilities or lack thereof. Your last post seems to me is bordering on personal stuff, if I may suggest, let's keep this competitive and fun and not get too personal. Draynay knows he can't handicap if his life depended on it but it's still fun to point how bad his picks are. I think DNB was his longest shot pick of the year. LOL

Not just something in common with Secretariat. What can I say, the most perfect people are born on the ides of October. I would know. Good luck with the launch of your new website. I'll check out your winners.

Draynay : Need I remind that you have been blasting Gemologist as having no foundation to go 10F ?? What makes you think now that he will get 3rd or 4th for your superfecta ?? I don't know why you're looking at Gemologist when Mark Valeski is already in. Isn't he your "tough" horse ??

I don't follow a tip sheet and I don't follow broke people like yourself that claim to have all the winners but never produce them before the race. I bet my own horses on my own handicapping ability and my win % is good enough it keeps me in the game and I never go home mad cause I bet or in your case LOSE to much. I kinda pity you to be honest Draynay, I mean for you to act the way you act you have allot of issues in your past that never were resolved. I kinda hope you hit the Superfecta at Derby maybe you and your woman can get the consulting you both need and work things out. Everyone deserves to be happy in life even you Draynay. I mean some people were not taught right and how to act vs others when they were children maybe you were abused and felt you were never good enough. I am sure your parents did love you in some capacity and you did do things in your past to make them proud. I know with some professional help you can and will one day think your worth living even with all the mistakes you made in the past... Take care Draynay and good luck you deserve it. You deserve to find the answers your looking for...

I thought heismovinglikeatremendousmachine.com was a perfect choice because it was a perfect race and I have been perfect my whole life. So it is something we have in common. Furlongs maybe you haven't figured it out yet but I often cash in on the Derby due to my sheer brilliance. My top 5 is my top 5 I will wait to see if I add in GEM not because he can win LIKE I SAID but because he could get 3rd or 4th. Just follow and do as I say and you will be fine.

Mike Monarchos — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:58:57 GMT

Dray,

You stole that saying, which is the name of your website, from the race announcer that called Secretariat's Triple Crown races. Can you name him? He lived on Kratzville Road in my old home town of Evansville, Indiana.

By the way I'm a pretty good painter. And since you're so great maybe I should paint a portrait of ya. The problem will be finding a canvas big enough to accommadate that huge, inflated head of yours! LMAO!!!! SERIOUSLY though Dray, is your head that big because of vanity, or just a limitless volume of hot air? Remember this: Be humble and your reputation won't crumble. Feel free to use that phrase when you open your next website.

re: The Final Round: Blue Grass and Arkansas Derby

Mary Zinke — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:49:22 GMT

Why the Secretariat reference in the website name if he supposedly beat sub-par 3yos?

theydontcallitcockyfornothing.com might be an alternative.

DRAYNAY!

On the fence!! Are you serious! Last week the horse was to slow to win the roses and now your on the fence, lol... your sad man that is all that is to it. What happened to any horse that cant run faster the 1:51 cant win the Ky Derby... always hedging your bets just like I said so you can come back and show the quote where you included a certain horse when you are done you will have between 10 and 12 horses listed somewhere thoughout these blogs and you will tell us how much you cashed for. Whatever dude you wouldnt last 10 mins around the guys I hang with at Churchill and get any respect as a handicapper. STOP HEDGING YOUR BETS or STOP TALKING either one would please a bunch of us!

re: The Final Round: Blue Grass and Arkansas Derby

Draynay — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:17:49 GMT

Yes, I will be boxing 5 or 6 horses in the Derby. Is that rare ? I know many who box 8. I really only like 5 or 6 my main fear is Gem getting 3 or 4th. Bode will not be on my ticket. My top 5 are still Union, DNB, Dullahan, Creative Cause and Alpha in that order. I am on the fence with Gem. Need to see works and pp.

re: The Final Round: Blue Grass and Arkansas Derby

JayJay — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:54:05 GMT

Draynay : Why don't you tell us the other thing that surprises you. Posting your picks here and then looking at your tickets after the race. "How did that happen ?!?! I was so sure the speed will die and my horse wins from off the pace!"

re: The Final Round: Blue Grass and Arkansas Derby

furlongs — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 06:49:06 GMT

Draynay, The only info I will be using coming from you is who for sure wont win. You are right about something though I do not understand you and your logic at all. But then again I will have a couple horses on top of all my Exacta and Tri Bets and that will be that no boxing ex and tri here if you have to box 7 horses in ANY race then you dont have a clue about the race and your just drawing straws as far as I am concerned. The last time I bet WIN money in the Ky Derby was when I really really liked a horse and felt like he was the best in the race. It was Street Sense before that it was Smarty Jones and before that it was Monarchos. This tells you I dont fall in love with a horse often when it comes to the Ky Derby. All I know is ANYONE who thought Uncle Mo was going to gallop and win the BC Classic last year has NO respect from me a as handicapper that's the bottom line. Here's to you and your 7 horse box... maybe you should start betting horses based on who has the cutest nose, never know you might cash!
