Re: CDI Suspends Racing? - 1 year ago
I suspect the track surface was/is too hard. It seemed like derby week yielded some pretty fast times.by jerry - Ask the Experts

Forget it. With that kind of post race analysis you can make any horse a winner and it’ll do you nothing for you in the next race.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Hey guys... - 2 years ago
There wasn’t any good info on Euro imports back then and no dirt form to boot. This horse had plenty of info and none of it was good.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Hey guys... - 2 years ago
If that horse didn’t draw in. Did I really just read that?by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: EVERYBODY KNOWS... - 2 years ago
I accept the results with lesson learned. Stick to 4 year olds and up.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: EVERYBODY KNOWS... - 2 years ago
Thank you for this. Your rationale makes perfectly good sense but I just don’t have the time or interest to dissect every race as you have done here. I suspect it is a flaw with simply reducing a performance to a number.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: EVERYBODY KNOWS... - 2 years ago
You talking to me? If so, where in anything I’ve written did I suggest that?by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: EVERYBODY KNOWS... - 2 years ago
I respect your comments regarding Eric Reed. Regarding the strength of the field, not so much. This was a very strong field and, for the most part evenly matched, with several great patterns coming into the race. So many that the analysis had to add another category, B+.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: EVERYBODY KNOWS... - 2 years ago
Great. Now we’re calling into question the accuracy of the figures. JB, can you handle this one?by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: EVERYBODY KNOWS... - 2 years ago
No rebreaking by super trainer horses. True only in that Eric Reed is not a super trainer. Otherwise, watch the replay again. Leaving the far turn the horse gets pinched in tight and checks before squeezing through and rebreaking. I actually allow for the possibility that this horse is just mean and getting sandwiched between horses just pissed him off and he ran rank crazy from then on.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: EVERYBODY KNOWS... - 2 years ago
Great. So now we’re incorporating chaos theory into our handicapping. Good luck with that one.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: EVERYBODY KNOWS... - 2 years ago
A one off jump up in the most scrutinized race of the year, which is laughable in and of itself considering the winners of 3 out of the last 4 were trained by a guy who’s been ruled off of Churchill Downs for drug positives in the derby and the other one has either been, will be or should be banned from the sport for life for drugging his horses and bragging about it. So what if they caught them.by jerry - Ask the Experts

Wanna see a horse finish freaky fast? Check out Mamba Wamba in the 9th at GP. Arazi like.by jerry - Ask the Experts

They should just close PARX. It’s a playground for move up trainers and broken down horses.by jerry - Ask the Experts

Fines and suspensions that amount to nothing more than nuisances. What’s changed?by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Life on the Farm - 2 years ago
It’s a very small part of a much larger issue and potential loss for Baffert. Losing the right to race in NY.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Life on the Farm - 2 years ago
How about making your voice heard by keeping your money in your pocket? They wouldn’t like that.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Medina Spirit - 2 years ago
I wonder if Baffert has any relationship with Seth Fishman?by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Medina Spirit - 2 years ago
Baffert should never be allowed around horses again. He literally runs them into the ground. Awful for the horse and for the sport. Ban him for life.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Cigar Mile - 2 years ago
From the Paulick Report. I couldn’t agree more.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Cigar Mile - 2 years ago
And then it was the final lap at Daytona. What’s up with that? That BS Irad pulled with Mo Donegal should get him days. Time he can serve concurrently for riding Moreno into the rail the day before.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Cigar Mile - 2 years ago
Somebody’s going to get hurt up there. Good call on Plainsman.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Cigar Mile - 2 years ago
Going with Mott’s horse. Second fastest at the weights with Irad. 10-1 seems more than fair. I do think both AMERICANREVOLUTION and INDEPENDENCE HALL will bounce. AMERICANREVOLUTION off a 5 point top in the slop, which I’m always dubious of slop tops, and INDEPENDENCE HALL coming in off of a paired top which he last ran back in January. Nothing leads me to believe he’ll run back to that figure toby jerry - Ask the Experts
