Jim,
Ok, you're not bitter. And I would love to have the money Merv keeps in his right pocket.
I was referring to your comments that inferred people were touting this colt as a TC candidate, as referenced by "your bet with both hands" remark regarding future book bets. Nobody mentioned future bets at all, just pointing out that this horse has done nothing wrong to this point. There will only be 1 Derby winner, so knocking any horse at this point isn't exactly going out on a limb. Peace Rules and Lion Heart are 2 horses similar to Brother Derek in that they were dismissed as milers yet ran respectable races in the Derby, both finishing 3rd. At this point I wouldn't just dismiss this horse.
