Rich Curtis: Can we get him to spot \"ado,\" too, so that this string title will stop driving me nuts?

HP: To err is human, to forgive divine.

Silver Charm: You guys are brutal.....but I have a sense of humor.

I\'m just a terrible at typing. Back in the day never figured I would need it.

magicnight: HP is right. We shouldn\'t make this into a big to-do.

Rich Curtis: O, what men dare do! What men may do! What men daily
do, not knowing what they do!

magicnight: Silver, we\'ve been through this before, and it ain\'t your typing (but I want to continue this so that the \"top ten\" shows nothing but this string, which should drive Rich even crazier, so forgive me ... I hear it\'s divine).

A typo would have been \"Much to di about NOTHING!!\". Now go to the blackboard and write \"Gio Ponti\" one hundred times!!!

Ha! Had that one coming. Edited to correct my typo on Gio Ponti.

HP: \"O, what men dare do! What men may do! What men daily
do, not knowing what they do!\"

Or as the great Frank Sinatra sang (\"Strangled in the Night?\") - \"do be do be doooooo!\"  

I\'m done now!  LOL.  HP

Silver Charm: Magicnight I\'ve been The Board dart target before.....but that was more back in the day of the nasty mean Silver Charm! Hey even Bob Baffert and I have kissed and made up. And he did tell me something interesting that signify\'s his Class and ability to change....but thats Private.

Nothing will match the attacking i took when I referred to a Zenyatta race at Del Mar a few years back as The Big ZZZZZZZZZZ, because they were BORING.

This entire Board attacked me for a week. Live and learn.

moosepalm: I would my horse had the speed of your tongue.

JimP: To err is human, to repent divine, to persist devilish, Benjamin Franklin

magicnight: \"And he did tell me something interesting that signify\'s his Class and ability to change....but thats Private.\"

I generally think privacy is overrated, but in your case I\'m more than happy to make an exception.

Dana666: According to TG Sheets-NOT my useless opinion:

Smith\'s Horse: Best number adjusted for the distance, surface and weight: 9. Additionally, Smith\'s trainer last 90 days: 29% wins.

Sutherland\'s Horse: Best number adjusted for the distance, surface and weight: 12+. Sutherland\'s trainer last 90 days: 10% wins.

By the way I couldn\'t care less about the whole thing, just pointing out (according to THE THOROGRAPH SHEETS) that she had no shot whatsoever.

TGJB: I think what you meant to say is that if they both ran their best previous number, no better and no worse, on this surface, and got equal trips, Smith\'s horse would win.

jimbo66: Dana,

I don\'t know why you insist on making non-sensical statements like \"according to the Thorograph sheets she had no shot whatsoever\".

Just for the sake of arguing?

Smith\'s horse had run 10-13-10 in the last 3.  The other horse had run an 11 in four of its 6 races this year.  Yes, 1st time out Smith\'s had run an 8 in a turf sprint.  

Not exactly a \"no-shot whatsoever\" race, at least until Chantal decided to take a pass on being aggressive.  That probably serves her ok in full fields in California, but no so much in match races.

Dana666: I was doing things like adjusting for weight and using only the most recent synthetic track races for each horse (both at Hollywood), and with Smith\'s horse going from less than a mile to over a mile, making the number even one point faster according to the T-G Sire Profile. If you don\'t want to adjust for that, he\'s still easily 2 points faster. Perhaps I shouldn\'t be so dramatic and say no shot, but a horse that\'s (at least) 2 (if not 3.25) points faster on the inside in a freaking 2 horse race has a huge advantage I\'d think it\'s safe to say; I\'m not sure how that\'s a wild conclusion. I\'m not a big Chantal fan. I think she\'s a mediocre rider at best, and Smith\'s ridden some of the great thoroughbreds of all time and his reputation is safe no matter what anyone says, but this event proves nothing really, that\'s all I\'m saying. It was a good free space for pick-5 players, and the pick 5 payed huge by the way, so all in all it wasn\'t a waste from a betting standpoint.I think I\'ve beaten this topic to death in any event.
