I guess you never heard of this guy. He was pretty much nondescript, but he could run like a bat out of hell.

So much for looks. They can get us in the door, they don't always keep us in the room.

LoL.....ugly meaning like Charismatic, Mine ThevBird & Giacomo.......

You mean like Giacomo?

That's true, or like Mine That Bird.

I'll probably still stay off Ride On Curlin though, if only because Calvin Borel will kill the value. I can't find any excuses for the last two losses. He had a decent enough pace to kick into in the Arkansas Derby, and in the Rebel Stakes, he had a soft pace that he helped set.
