How about this for a view through rose colored glasses.
In Kentucky AP spotted two top notch speed balls (who ran their guts out) a six length lead and ran them down on their best effort and With such a slow pace that no other horses could keep up or finish.
Immediately doomsdayers reported AP crawled on his belly across the line, lost weight and appeared death warmed over days later. Baffert says AP is happy and doing fine.
At Pimlico AP ran the competition off their feet, in the first mile the race was over. He didn't need to rush home, he wasn't whipped 32 times to encourage. Of course I saw Victor doing a handstand and flips in the saddle the last 1/16.
Baffert says he wants the Belmont track to be Secretariat like. His loopy way of saying you have not seen AP's best yet and he might win by 20. While some still insist/hope he is over the top exhausted and the really good ones will finally get a fair shot.
Of course AP is a bet against. Of course it is the only conclusion right brainers can land on, Of course I and others like me are biased. The difference being I know I'm biased. Although there was value in MD for the imaginative. I'm going with MUB to win and under AP @ Bel because I've always believed stamina wins marathons. Brilliance wins at lesser distances.
I've gotten over excited again. Limit Out! Curious To see where the conversation is next week be back then after terrorizing some other board (auto racing?) for a while.
If [b]Man Of Quality[/b] competes this week @ Del or nearby give his last race video replay a second look.
