Rafirox's Pre-Gotham Sweet 16

Guess who is my top pick for the Derby, right now? Hint: It is not Goldencents, Verrazano, Uncaptured, Itsmyluckyday, Shanghai Bobby, or Super Ninety Nine.Read More

tcglory · Thats a terrible top 16 list rafirox honestly. Everyone and there mom has revolutionary on there list. Bern Identy just got back to work tab and is shooting for preakness last i heard. Vyjack not on your list I bet you he jumps in on everyones list after a race like that that further proves he can go two turns. Ive Struck a Nerve you call him a fluke yet still have him as one of the top 16 3 year olds? whattttttttt Tix the truth second? Hes injured wont make derby follow the trail better. Park City 2 sprint races 2 wins he will not have enough time to make derby. And last goldencents unlike vyjack cant go farhter then 1 1/16 so hes no derby horse. Srry this is me being a real critic cause wait till bloodhorse drf and all thoes major horsemen bring out there lists and compare. · 108 days ago ·

rafirox · Quote from article: "NOTE: This list might be invalid after the Gotham." I put ISAN purely b/c he won, but I think he still needs to prove it wasn't a fluke. Park City is a good looking colt, with upside. Goldencents, you have no right to say he can't go a distance, when he hasn't gone nine yet, and ALL his races are respectful efforts. I don't care what DRF, Bloodhorse people say. That don't matter. EVERYBODY has a different list with different horses. I never heard of TTT being off the trail, I apologize if that was wrong. But, besides that, your last post is ridiculous. · 108 days ago ·

tcglory · I cant say what goldencents can and cant do? vyjack was undefeated before the gotham by the same sire with the same run type untill yestarday and goldencents wasnt undfeated both graded stakes winners and you left vyjack off??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? thats crazy if you like golden cents you should of liked this horse just the same. Lets look at who vyjack beat in his first 3 starts and lets see who goldencents beat in his races. Vyjack beat orb-foy winner -clawback stakes winner always in a tiz- graded stakes palced. As for goldencents he beat no one in his madien in the champagne he was ahead of who??? horses who all are off the trail or ahvent impressed yet. So i see he ebat itsmyluckyday and bern identy? so yea · 108 days ago ·

Peppermint Paddy · Going out on a limb there w/ Palace Malice, rafi. Good to see. A few I'd throw off and on would be ISAN off, we hardly see longshots like that come back and win. Departing on, he has to be one of the best semi under the radar's out there. I wouldn't have a problem dropping Bobby as well. With IMLD and Orb probable for the FL Derby, SB may not even make the derby. I'd drop him for Demonic or Revolutionary. Sorry wasn't slaggin' your picks:) · 108 days ago ·

rafirox · Sorry. At least I am not a loser hiding behind a computer screen, trashing other's picks, too wimpy to post their own. @PP. Yes. I m going out on a limb with Palace Malice. We are in March. Tcglory acting like these picks are "wrong" or "terrible" is ignorant. I really liked Palace Malice's last performance. He came from behind the pace, and showed new dimension. Had trouble in the stretch (bumped, drifted, lugged), looked very green. Palace Malice, imo, is one that will dramatically improve with experience. As for Revolutionary, I know I am in the minority. However, I don't think breaking slowly is a good attribute for the derby, nor is traffic prone. Notice tcglory is laughing at me, and laugh at me all you want... But, personally, while Revolutionary is a good colt, I don't think the derby conditions will fit him. Good horse, good pedigree. Like him a lot, not for derby. @Buds. Thank you. I agree completely. Lots of wise cracks by people who won't put their list out. I like your list, wish you the best in the wagering aspect down the line, and during the trail. @URR. I put Bern on there just for you, lol. :)... Hopefully he can return with a bang. Is he a G1 horse? I don't know. But, for sure, if healthy he will be a good colt down the line at whatever distance. Good luck to all during the trail. · 107 days ago ·

dani.pugh · Big Brown's year was exceptionally weak and he easily ran the most brilliant Derby prep in the Florida Derby. Also, while most of these horses didn't win their second race till their three year old year, there were several that ran in stakes company at two. IHA was second in the Best Pal to Creative Cause. He went out with an injury after the Hopeful, a race run on a horrilbe track, so he was forgotten when he came back at three. MTB had a good 2yr old year, was a champion in Canada even. Super Saver, impressive at two, won KJC. Barbaro, also impressive and a stakes winner at two, alebit, not on dirt yet. Smarty, stakes winner at 2. Funny Cide, another unbeaten stakes winner at two. War Emblem had no stakes wins, but had stake experience at 2, as well as two wins. So, out of 13 Derbies, only three horses, FuPeg, BB, and Monarchos have gone to win the Derby w/o prior stakes exp. Remember, BB was pointed for stakes at two, but was injured, so his late start was no exactly due to a slower growth. 5 total, out of 13, not even half the Derby winners since 2000 didn't get their second win until they were three. Two were due to injuries that sidelined them for most of their juvenile season. So, when one thoroughly looks at the facts of this, it would seem Juveniles can and do still carry their form over as three year olds. Would anyone argue that IHA wasn't a promising 2yr old? Impressive maiden, ran into Creative Cause and sill ran a good second. Only bad race was over a mucked up track. Big Brown turned heads with his maiden, alibit on turf, but nonetheless he was very impressive. He then was sidelined due to his hoof issues. So, in all there are only 3 legit cases, out of 13, that one can really use to support this piece. So, in conclusion, the N2L list is not the place to look. · 158 days ago ·

Glucocorticoids are frequently used in medicine as anti-inflammatory agents; anabolic steroids are androgenic/masculinizing and were probably widely misused in racehorses in the U.S. until their ban in 2008.

El Kabong · Travel_Vic, Since the poly was installed, 4 horses have made deep closes to win. Dominican, Brilliant Speed, Dullahan and Java's war. Monba was on the front end, Stately Victor was mid pack, never more than 5 off and only 3 off at the top of the lane. So while I will agree that horses making such moves, on poly or dirt have a difficult time doing that again in the Derby, it's not the poly that is to blame or the Bluegrass. It's a tough way to win a derby period. And if Java should win then that move goes to a 25% at Keeneland, which suddenly wouldn't make it such a bad thing. The only horses to successfully pull off a deep move and win the derby in this time period are Mine That Bird, who was only successful on poly before the derby and Street Sense who lost by a nostril in the Bluegrass on Poly. In the last 6 years, the Bluegrass has produced 1 winner and two 3rd place finishes in the Derby. I think only the Arkansas Derby and the Santa Anita can boast a better record. The Bluegrass results are not irrelevant since 2007, and yes that deep move is difficult to pull off in the Derby period, but it was Street Sense from the Bluegrass who did it best. Your 6 year survey is aboot to be turned on it's head by Java's War. TIme to get on the "eh" team! · 66 days ago ·

He only gets upset w/ others when they falsely accuse him of being a fraud. Its not like he's on here bragging about how much $$$ he makes. You people need serious help, and you know very well who you are.
