I Give Up

[alm]

Not ready to venture an opinion on this one as yet, given I don\'t really know the entire field, nor the post positions.  However, I posted that MMM was the horse who would have to be run down in the Derby before very many took him seriously in posts prior to the race.  As for those of you who doubt Kathy Ritvo, why?  Her barn has another pretty good trainer in it, looking over her shoulder.  And my experience wtih husband/wife trainer teams...which includes 2 concrete examples...suggests the wife is responsible for their success.

like mmm..but have a hard time falling in love with. he dosen\'t seem explosive enough for preakness. i think they should save for the belmont.he\'s definetly a scrappy horse.

Kentucky Derby runner-up Nehro will not compete in the Preakness Stakes. The Pimlico showcase would have been his fourth start in eight weeks.

Trained by Steve Asmussen and owned by Zayat Stables, Nehro has finished second in his last three starts, all graded routes, since breaking his maiden at Oaklawn Park in February. He will now point to the Belmont Stakes and will enter the Test of Champions on five weeks rest.

Regarding MMM - he\'s simply not a win type. He\'s a check cashing type. 2 wins from 9 lifetime starts...Nope. Not for me

I am willing to take out my training license and test this assertion with Linda Rice............

Why do we want to talk about a beaten horse?

Other than AK and Concealed Identity aren\'t they all \"beaten horses\"?

I\'m still not convinced he wants this distance, especially with new shooters arriving.

"It's not hard to make up three lengths\"

What about 3 ¹/₄ lengths and 52 feet per Trakus? Is the Trakus not calibrated at CD or did 150,000 people screaming shake the antennas too much to render them useless?

Well if you believe, as I and many others here do, that AK will regress from his Derby-winning form and that MMM, being a June foal, will mature even more as the months progress it\'s not hard to imagine that the gap between the two horses can narrow or even be erased altogether.

I\'m sure she\'s waiting to hear from you and it would only prove my point anyway.
