Uncle Mo has always been overhyped the best three year old is THE FACTOR, because unlike Pletcher, Baffert knows how to get a horse ready for the Derby.

Answer the question asked next time. I take it since you didn't, then you must agree with Durkin.

I'll try this a little differently: in what Wood Memorial was there a greater upset since 1973, when Secretariat lost?

I guess you were asleep last year. Just so you know, Pletcher won the 2010 Kentucky Derby.

I'm on vacation right now and don't have access to my stuff but just based on memory and some basic calculations from the charts, they are utterly abysmal for Gr 1. I think the Bay Shore and Comely speed figures will both come back stronger than the Wood, which I think could be sub-90. And the SA Derby # won't be much different-- low 90's is what I'm guessing. And unlike the Fla Derby, the pace numbers won't be much different from the speed figs.

"In the most shocking defeat in the Wood Memorial since Secretariat himself"
He may not be Secretariat....(wont know until his career is over) but find me a bigger upset in the Wood Memorial from 1974-2010.
On a side note...nice to see Aqueduct with a nice crowd (12,000 announced). The downside....They were all squeezed into a clubhouse that is designed to hold 5-7,000 people.

No I wasn't asleep last year. He lucked into it last year and it was what once in 20+ tries.
How many victories in Triple Crown Races does Baffert have, I'll take one of his horses over a Pletcher any day of the week.

The only reason this was an upset was a Horse that hadn't been tested this year and was strictly hype was 1/9 by the fools who bet him down.

There is no problem. You made another stupid post. You were asked a few times to clarify it and you can't. Nothing new here.

I thought I clarified perfectly when I said fools who bet that horse down to 1-9 when he isn't that much of a horse, didn't make it an upset.
And you know what I'm tired of you and Pace's snide remarks so take this forum and shove it up a-- and f--- you both.
