alm: Interesting thought...you are probably right, but I can\'t understand why the guy has taken a dive in recent years...

Tabitha: I don\'t know what to make of that story for sure. Don\'t like where its published \"Snitch\"  lol. And I don\'t understand why the reporter didn\'t get up and tear into Harthill. The most important punch is the first, but he was cognizant he should have evened it up right there.

What I do know for certain is that I read enough to make me believe Harthill should be banned from the backside and if that can\'t be done and he still has access and I had a horse in the derby I would not allow Harthill anywhere near him, period. I would post a guard while stabled at Churchill. They will always find ways of getting an edge though as Harthill stated in regard to Northern Dancer\'s Derby. That will never stop. In the end the horse they mojo up still has to have innate ability and you can handicap that and factor mojo.

The part about Shug being worried by Harthill and or Whittingham was poignant. I think Churchill slop beat Easy though just as it did in the B.C. Juvenile the year before.

tonyk:        If they give Harthill a polygraph ,they better give him a post test urine as well.

OPM: I heard about the Shoe misjudging the finish line in the 57 Derby, I wonder what he has to say about it now?  That\'s why I do my best not to bet Kentucky track, the Derby/Oaks is different but maybe not for long.
