I thought the key races for figuring the track were the 7th, 10th and 11th. Especially the 7th. Theres really no telling what Beyer and Bris are doing. There was a pretty good horse in that race named Private Vow. He may not have been ready to fire his better shot, but the race time was very good and Lawyer Ron did it easy.

Who does Ron have to beat First Samurai? Keyed Entry? Bluegrass Cat? Does anyone really think beating those three confer evidence of Derby ability?



Heres Smarty Jones Rebel Fractions from two years ago. Lawyer Ron may not be Smarty Jones, but not many are.

Smarty also caught a better strip.

23.45, 47.65, 1:12.10, 1:36.06, 1:42.07

I just don't understand people. Hold on, let me check the TSheets for the Gotham again in regard to why so many think there was a Coup of some sort...

Achilles was essentially a Zero Horse.

Keyed Entry was essentially a Zero Horse Adding the Weight.

Sweetnorthernsaint was essentially a Zero horse taking the weight off.

Achilles was essentially even with the other two and got in trouble. Whats all the fuss about?

You mean folks are able to discern how they were robbed by a horses connections stiffing a sure thing and yet can't discern how they've been manipulated and had their country taken from them by their own government.

Bizarre
