A Baffert-Lukas $1,300 exacta. I would bet saving all that ground that War Emblem backed up a bit and won. The third big race (in a row) is more and more the norm. Charismatic did it with much worse spacing.

When he said \'47\' for the half I was getting pissed. Some clocks these guys have in their heads huh? Where was Mayakovsky when you needed him? Now everyone will be crying \'milkshakes\' and whatever. This Derby? On the sheets it will look like The Race Nobody Ran. Maybe we\'ll get even when WEmb backs up in the Preak. Maybe they\'ll all fall asleep at the wheel again. PDrift probably got something out of the race, but he won\'t be a price next out either.

The Mrs. liked WEmblem big time. I loved what the Prince said afterwards when they said he bought the Derby and he said \"everyone buys the Derby and if I can I will buy it again.\" He\'s right, she\'s right, I\'m left, they\'re gone. Sigh. HP

I cashed the race, and I have to ask- where the hell did you guys get the idea there would be a fast race? Show me a horse in the field who had ever gone faster than 46 2/5 in a route.

Well this kind of fact-based inquiry is really pissing me off. Drinks on you. Will call. HP

Keep this personal crap off the board.

Hey, at least I\'m not blathering on about old movies. HP

Seriously, Alydar, your last post was entitled, \"Warning, contains personal attack\".  I\'d call you a hypocrite, but that\'s probably not a sophisticated enough word for you.  Why don\'t you get out your thesaurus and let us know a better word for this.

amen ,there just was not that much speed in the race ,combine that with the fact that closers hung all day long you get Baffert and Lucas as the real value in the race .Eddie D. made the only adjustment ,Johnny V. did nothing to adjust bad post and all he should have tried something ,I question his ability to ride in big races, besides the fact he cost me my pick 3and pick 4 getting taken down in the 7th race ,I had a bad feeling about him then, bad karma
