    RA wins if it rains marbles !!! The surface will have no impact on her it will only help to seperate her.

    I checked a couple of days ago, and it was showing a 30% chance of thunderstorms. Must be going up.

    I try not to pay too much attention to weather forecasts though, at least until the day before the race, when it's more reliable.

    You know what bugs me most about you, Draynay? Well really, it might be the only thing...

    You talk in absolutes. Quality Road, Dunkirk, Rachel Alexandra, etc. You must know by now, there are no absolutes in gambling. And especially not in horseracing.

    I can appreciate confidence, or the courage of one's convictions, but please don't talk like the results are already in. It's not the kind of thing that newcomers (i.e. people who might not know any better) need to read.

    For crying out loud, i run a TOUT SERVICE, and even i don't talk that way.

    agreed. Well I am betting against RA in the preakness and I like it when draynay is overly confident about a horse because that horse nomally dont run well....keep talking draynay even though im not listening I just hope your jinx holds up.

    RA is a great horse but hasnt even faced the strongest of the filly class.

    But you can't bet on a fluke taking place... the Derby was the perfect storm but RA is the real deal and simply a much better athlete. If she shows she wins for fun against this very weak group. Big Drama will be tough but the distance will do him in.
