pj: Thanks P-Dub; I stand corrected. Going-off a poor memory. So loooong ago !!

jbelfior: Lol...ok. I look forward to buying you that steak at Capital Grill if my \"assertion\" on Upstart is wrong.

Good Luck,
Joe B.

TGJB: It\'s not about right or wrong. And re that one, since the horse was turned out when you made it and there are only 3 mile and 1/4 races he can run in, making that statement would be like taking a stand on one of the 250 Republicans seeking the nomination and saying he won\'t be president.

But in general, making an assertion alone is like a lawyer making an opening statement, then not making a case or presenting evidence. Who cares?

You could say he\'s not bred for it (Covello did), you could say you don\'t like the way he finishes (Miff did). I totally disagree, both on pedigree and because Upstart\'s best race was at the longest distance he tried. But that\'s fine-- they made the argument.

Leamas57: I hope he wins big time now. I am stuck with him on one small p-4.  I like his chances and the tote is betting him down to 9:1.

Don\'t want to jinx you, but I like your chances.  I want him too.

Leamas57: You didn\'t jinx me, I will learn to stay away from first turfers yet. Unless they are bred out the ___ for it, it\'s moth to the flame it seems for me. I saw what looked like some Dynaformer on the dam\'s side, so I bit.
