04/25 9:53 amI like this horse a lot!! Lukas doesn't bring donkeys to the Derby and Watchman and Privan are snobs saying Flying Private doesn't have a prayer. Albarado is the best jockey to bring a long shot home and at least onto the board, look at the breeding!! Flying Private is actually related to Pioneer of the Nile whom I think is a very good Polytrack specialist. Hello?? Churchill Downs is dirt, Dirt, DIRT!!! Anybody know the difference?? Remember when Curlin ran subpar in The Classic(under Robby Albarado) and afterwards Steve ASmuusen said "This was a race contested on Turf(ProRide)!"...and, he's right. I think if Flying Private hadn'r checked briefly in THe Arkansas Derby, he woulda come up for 2nd or 3rd. No matter, Lukas and his horse are in. Go ahead, throw him out, it'll just make my exotics juicier!!...hey anybody seen Steve Scroggins lately?? Is he at the barn of Imperial Council talking about future races???LOLOLOL!!!
