I've also been wondering why this board has been so quiet recently. As a long time reader, occasional poster, I've always found the board to be filled with knowledgable people who are happy to answer questions for newbies and always up for a good debate. As in any group, there have been the crazies ...
Twice The Appeal is probably the worst bet of all time @ 20-1, I guess if Zippy Chippy had Calvin up he would be the same price, by Battaglia logic.

THAS looked pretty one-paced in this race... Might help him out running longer, but he certainly doesn't seem like one to be excited about at this point. Soldat looked nice, winning pretty easily in a good time. Gourmet Dinner is turning out to be quite a useful little horse, and his performance tod...
Other than the obvious choice of Sidney's Candy here, I'll be rooting (we'll see if I put my money where my mouth is... :wink: ) for Make Music For Me. He was my super-longshot in the Derby, and finished well to be 4th at something like 50-1 odds. Hasn't done much since then, but he does have the ba...
