phil23: Totally agree Silver.  I think Baffert should train him up to the Derby.  But unfortunately I\'d say that is only about a 10% chance of that, maybe less.  Since Jaycito is now going in the Wood, I have to think The Factor stays home and runs in the shadow of the San Gabriels

Footlick: Well, that is ok then.  It\'s the way I was raised, and if it\'s going to be looked down upon, then I don\'t really need to be posting here at all.  Hope you guys have a great season.  Good luck.

jimbo66: Come on footlick, the joke was meant to be at TGJB\'s expense, not yours.  Don\'t get too serioius on us, this is a gambling board after all!

No offense was meant to you.

Dana666: He doesn\'t have a pea-sized heart, he just wants no part of a route race. That was evident to anyone who watched him as a 2 year old. Jaycito is no super-star, but when they first stretched out, JP showed he wasn\'t going to be a factor at a distance as Jaycito ran right by him in the stretch, even though P-Val rode JP perfectly, just wasn\'t happening. Don\'t waste any money thinking this horse has any shot whatsoever in the tripe crown races.

Rick B.: Footlick, two words:

\"looser shorts\"

stat!

Footlick: There was no offense taken, so don\'t worry about it.

miff: \"He doesn\'t have a pea-sized heart\"

Dana,

Clearly demonstrated no heart late on Sat getting outrun badly by 3 horses behind him.Look for him to cut back unless his connections have TC fever.

Mike

Dana666: Well, I\'m just saying he won some good races at Del Mar showing some class, but I think when you are asking him to do something he can\'t do (win a route race), and he doesn\'t that doesn\'t mean he has no heart. I agree w/you though. They should not do the whole TC thing.

miff: Also a little slower on TG but really has not shown any 3 yr old development on any data, so far.

TGJB: Right. He\'s a precocious type and heavily raced, hasn\'t developed, and doesn\'t figure to develop much more. But the question of whether he can route (he can and has, at least up to 1 1/16th) and the question of whether he can be competitive in a TC race are two different things. He wouldn\'t have much chance against GI 3yo sprinters, either.
