plasticman: CC has no published works since Apr 30, how do we know he flew back to Cali after the Derby?

Silver Charm: Jimbo a friendly steak dinner bet at Mortons that two hrs before post Bode will 2-1 or more. Maybe late money pours in but I do not see him going off at 8/5.

Two things in his favor are Trainer success in the race and early speed factor at Pimlico.

Working against him is his line doesnt look all that great. And those are the guys who send it in at the windows. Except for the dazed and confused types who do it in the last two minutes before post.....

TGJB: It\'s been all over the press that Harrington took CC home and back again.

And by the way, if you don\'t think the drug thing matters in baseball, watch when some of those guys are up for the Hall Of Fame.

touchgold: harrington said as much..and also said he hopes the flight doesnt take too much out of him

big18741: Harrington on why he sent CC back to California the morning after the Derby:

\"I like to sleep in my own bed,so I figure my horse would like
to sleep in his own stall.\"

Who can argue with that logic?

jimbo66: Win, lose or draw, Harrington gets the idiot award IMO for the Triple Crown.  He puts blinkers on, puts \"cheaters on \", takes them off, then ships to California after the Derby.

Is he trying to screw up the horse?

Too bad, because this guy would be very enticing if it weren\'t for the trainer.  (and he could still win now, but hard to have any confidence betting him off all the bad moves by the trainer)

Good  luck,

Jim

jimbo66: Silver,

I will take that bet (and feel guilty about winning it!).

Very hard to see him going off at higher than 8-5.

Good luck,

Jim

touchgold: I agree...I liked him in derby, and want to bet him here also...but most likely wont...harrington seems to be trying to fix what wasnt broken.

Silver Charm: Np problem. And dont feel bad if you win. I put it our there. Actually there has been a few other takers via the Person-to-Person so lets just see.

People I guess are just totally discounting this as a bad field. Let me say this, the 1-3 horses in the Derby are NOT Silver Charm, Captain Bodget and Free House.

BTW-anyone else notice that TAP is now 1-18 at Belmont. Same guy who was 40% in South Florida. Interesting!

plasticman: Thanks Jer.

Why should CC be any different than any other horse in that barn?

I can assure you that CC is the best horse Harrington never trained.

The plane trips back and forth are the least of it.

Boscar Obarra: Based on D.W.L.\'s comments, would you say that 0 fer in grade 1\'s is getting to him?

Caradoc: At least DWL once had a fastball . . .
