so winning the derby isnt great?!! OK
|

By:
i think a great dog needs to do a little more than win the english derby. Because of three things. The first is the track management which varies from race to race, and is not consistent. The second for me is the three races in 7 days. That makes it a lottery.The third is the draw.
Come back here after Tuesday when half the best dogs are out. Then tell me 10 days later that the winner was a great dog. For me there have been too many kinda ready's over the past 20 years, you'd be well up backing the rag every year i the final. So I do apologise if it upsets you but the English Derby does not necessarily provide a GREAT DOG imho. |

irish,it doesn't upset me,lifes all about opinions!It would be boring otherwise!Surely you defeat you're own argument though about the 3 runs in a week?The dogs that come through those runs are the strong ones?Or lucky in a way,with Taylors getting red again!!!

"The dogs that come through those runs are the strong ones"
I took a 36 kg tullymurry out for a walk yesterday, decided to chase an angus bull, split its web, really strong dog, but wont run for a month now. No mate the dogs that get through from now on are the lucky ones They are not at their strongest in the semi's. |

like I said earlier,its all about opinions,some people on here take things a bit too seriously......

Mind you there a lot of macho trainers about over here that say they can get them back to full fitness in a couple of days
Even Bert's trainer got a bit like it in his post race interview. The vet is the main guide over here though and apart from the fee (extortionate) many say they dont really know the dogs. My experience is that 3 days is not a reasonable amount of time for recovery |

By:
i think a crisp packet will blow onto the track at the first bend and 5 dogs will go for it leaving sky to win!
in all seriousness agree m8 there is alot of early its no cheap lead or gimme, the way he is trapping seems anyone can have his ground? all very well a dog being tuned up as you go along but he is in a bad trapping habit for sure, Tuesday wont be straightforward, looking forward to it |
|
By:
sad that mate, you keep loving the dogs for him i say
 |
|
By:
cheers case and czech,like you say case,a lot of time,and a lot of other things aswell...can't bring him back,gone way too soon and so unfairly,but me and him always loved the dogs so I always still watch them,maybe it makes me close to him in a way
