I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

In respect to being right,I'm the same as you,lol. Keep up the great work!

No worries LDP keep'em coming. I truly don't think people are bashing you. You have shown that you have knowledge of the sport and thats all anybody needs to have. You stand by what you say and I think you have more respect than you realize.

Mike,

I hate to say it but i hope your right. I am far from passive and very competitive. Basicly i like to be right. I won't laugh at ppl, but like the vindication that comes along with being right when everyone else say your wrong. That's just me, i know it's not the best way to be, but as i said it's just me, i like to win, lol.

Wanda,

Sorry, i tend to get very passionate and hot headed about different things, theres that irish coming out in me, lol. I get what other ppl are trying to say but to come back and say o well that arguement is weak, or brush me off like i know completely nothing about racing is rude. Maybe some ppl don't mean their post to read like that, but i can't hear how they talk, i'm reading in my own voice, not theres, and many times it sounds like to me they bash everything i say. In return i tend to get mad and rude back sometimes. I'll give them their due, but can they give me mine too.

Wanda — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 03:00:01 GMT

Easy LDP you made your point. We get it and understand you put alot of thought into your comments. I've enjoyed reading your take on the preps last weekend but give everyone else their due okay? We all see things in different ways, and ya never know someone might say something you haven't thought of. It's kind of the whole point of debate right?

Householder,

Thanks, i've been trying to say the same thing about a hundred times and ppl just throw me under the bus for it. I think your right about the five times, i'm not sure.

LDP — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 02:30:40 GMT

Mike,

THANK YOU. Your probably the only person so far other that wanda and a couple others who compliment my points. I'm getting bashed on all sides saying i have week points, ppl nit pick my every little word. I swear i'm gonna go insane, lol.

Hello,good points!

Householder — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:21:10 GMT

Your right on LDP. I was thinking BC mile on the turf. Perhaps the next Lure. I think we would all benefit from also seeing the Pamp with some graded company (some multiple stake winners). I mean Mr. Hot Stuff's maiden will was pretty impressive (I think it took him 5 times) but not a real good guage.

I look at Pamp's form and he came off the pace previously. When you are that much the best why not send?

"Almost" any great horse in history went wire to wire or laid close at some time in their career. Most good horses adapt to race conditions and set ups with jocks who know pace---assuming as I do that the jockey colonies of today are as great as ever in history.

On other post--too early yet to guess on Derby true contenders.

LDP — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 20:05:34 GMT

Wanda,

The SA Derby should be very interesting. I looked up the times for POTN and Pamp and compared, if you add six more seconds to POTN final time in the RB lewis, which is what he did his last sixteenth in, you'll see that the times are only .04 seconds apart, with the pamp the leader. What i saw that may make a difference is Pamp was slowing drasicly in the final three furlongs and POTN was just getting started. Your right, if dist doesn't work out he'll make one heck of a miler.

Wanda — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:50:07 GMT

10-4 LDP as we say at work. If it don't pan out he'll be a nice mile horse. I wouldn't turn him down if I had him in my shedrow. It's getting interesting isn't it?

Wanda,

Agree with what you said. War Pass looked good winning all his races on the front end and looked relaxed enough when nobody challenged, but when he was forced to rate in the TB Derby, he showed his dire need for the lead. He also showed that in the Wood where he burned himself out by running those hot fractions when pressured. He did show though his guts, when TofE tried to go by him. The Pamp looks great on the front unchallenged, but i want to see how he reacts when challenged. I'm not saying he can't win, just saying i'd like to see before i pass judgement.

Wanda — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:39:41 GMT

It's interesting all the comments about front end runners. I don't know if the Pamp needs the front cause according to the rider he's pretty relaxed running. However things can change when they get eyeballed or a stalker can pressure them. He does need to hook better horses to answer that question. One thing about going to the front you stay out of trouble!

Slew,

The saying is if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Get your sayings right, lol.

LDP — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:29:10 GMT

Slew em All,

If my points and arguments are so weak then why don't you come up with some yourself, maybe because you have no decent points or comebacks??? Other ppl on here seem to agree that my war pass example was quite good, maybe your lacking in some knowledge. Let you know boht war pass and Pamp are simalar which is why i used him both have CR in their lineage, both are speed horses, and both so were not challenge for the lead in the first 4 or 5 race of their career. Also both possesed that high cruising speed that only a pure sprinter speed horse could match. Also when unpressured both could run blazing fractions on the front end and still go at least 1 1/16, War pass did it as a two year old in the Juvinile. But when pressured or made to rate War Pass couldn't handle it, and that may go for Pamp whom like war pass was never headed for five starts straight. Again like in the wood where war pass face a speester sprinter, kinda like SC, then the same may go for Pamp when he is pressured, which means the race will set up for a closer, again just like the wood. Not so bad of a comparison after all when you do your hw now is it.

TO: Slew.em.All

If you think for a sec that Curlin's connections "were making excuses" I feel for your lack of knowledge! They didn't have to run him last yr,he could have went the way of Street Sense and Hard Spun.The impression you give everyone is that you "wrote the book" on horseracing,if you possess that amazing amount of knowledge then it's easy to determine Curlin's connections made no excuse,period! Oh yeah,I'm able to defend myself,cause I can always give as good as I get,no problem with that!
