Sorry about your future, I know about taking it on the chin in those. He may yet get in. I hope he does. He's a big beautiful horse with a nice long and balanced stride and he does give you the impression, even in defeat, that he's got plenty of gas left in the tank.

I think the graded earnings threshold kind of snuck up on the trainers this year. At least with everyone but TGJB...lol

If anyone is poised to hit the future bet its TGJB. He has the best figures and has them immediately. He has the statistics for how a sires offspring develope from 2 to 3 to 4 and he keeps the records of the mares that throw these foals and he knows if the thrown foals were precocious at 2 and how they developed at 3 and 4. And he knows his patterns after years of pouring over them. Plus he's a good handicapper. But he should be the king of the future bet and I'm fairly sure he is.

I may reconsider my futures betting. I'll never go in the co-mingle pool again, but I don't think I can compete with T-Graph on this. Hell, I know I can't.
