Who you got?
I think Moheymen will win. I am not convinced that Nyquest will get the distance. Does he have the foundation after one 7f prep?
Should be a good one anyway.

I also this Mohaymen will win, but everytime I doubt Nyquist he runs a big race.

The Spiral is today. I hope Jansen wins he is by Hard Spun but Airoforce is the favorite.

Man Nyquist is legit. I'm done doubting him. The horse just keeps winning.

Nyquest put my handicapping to shame. I doubted him and me proved me wrong.

I missed a racing thread

Been at a horse show all day.

I like these uncle mo babies much better than I liked their daddy.

Wonder if moyhamen bled or flipped...
He quit pretty abruptly.

I love reading y'all's threads, and never have a damn clue what half the shite means. Watched a bit on the live stream earlier, that was entertaining.

I have a question. How do y'all know so many horses? Is it similar to following football players as they work their way through college and whatnot? It just seems like their are sooooo maaaany horses out there. Is it just a group of 100 or so that are easy to follow each year?

I have no life. That's how I do it

I follow most major races, especially late 2 year old stakes and early derby preps.

Nyquist galloped out huge. I still stand by what I've said all year. Kind of a meh group of 3 year olds aside from him, and the most talented of the group, the filly songbird.

The 1 1/2 mile grass stake was a great watch. Hard to believe kaigun was a miler.

I just watched the replay and yeah he looks like a winner. We aren't going to get any odds for the Derby though. Nice picture of your horse with all the ribbons you won today. Sweet!

Meh group of 3 year olds, like, in the whole world? Horse racing is so interesting, yet so confusing

Thanks! He was a good boy today.

I hoping for another good run from creator next out so we can use him for a price underneath.

In America going for the triple crown.

Air Force blue seems pretty amazing in Europe but he's not run yet this year. The Japanese have one who fell on his face coming out of the gate in Dubai and still won.

But, aside from the two I listed in the previous post, I don't see and that shout SUPERSTAR.

No shame in that. Nyquist has beaten some good horses. I'm not sure WTF Alvarado was doing going into the turn in the stretch. Moyhamen simply didn't fire today,but the race can possibly be a tossout. Keep an eye out for Cupid, and Suddenlybreakingnews

I started watching during the 08 Derby and was immediately hooked. After that, I mainly watched tvg and hrtv on Saturdays and sundays for the stakes races. It gets real fun during the Saratoga and Del Mar meet because that's when most of the good 2 year olds start to race.
