TGJB,

Don't understand your point at all with regards to Nyquist. Eight belles, u had a point, lots of very fast figures, tight spacing, squeezing the lemon dry. Unfortunately it resulted in a death, not a bounce. Nyquist was not too fast too soon, if anything, his problem going into the derby was he was flatlining and was slow on figures. His spacing before the derby was fine, under raced, if anything. And it looks like u have his preakness about as fast as has derby and when u factor the suicidal pace of the preakness, it might even be a tad better (I know u don't factor pace). So the horse fired in the derby and fired in the preakness. Now his blood count is a little high and you (and others on this board) are "ha, told you so".

U had AP as 50/50 to even get to the derby last year, if I recall, then predicted problems throughout the triple crown for him.

Identifying betting opportunities off of predicted bounces is one thing, but the "I told you so" when a fragile animal gets a cold and skips a race he should maybe never have been pointed to (after the Preakness) is another.
