Make no mistake about it. There are some things that are just taken to be fact in this game. One thing is the Apollo Curse. You cannot win a derby being unraced at 2 and given the proper time and rest for winter recuperation and growth afterwards. If you ever do you are ruined anyway. If you couldn't have a race and get into the barn you are too green to be going for a race like the derby. Just do the math with the Apollo curse Look at Bode who would have pulled it off if not for a great horse like I'll Have Another. Those two were HIGH horseflesh. I don't care if you are Bodemeister, Curlin, Verrazano, Governor Charlie or Seattle effing Slew. You just can not do it. It's something purely scientific and it pertains to development and growth vs an endurance test in spring. It's written in stone. Even we here at Quantum U are not privy to exact formula. This year in particular is a real joke. Apollo Curse or not the horseflesh just does not measure up. Gov Charlie was Bafferts 5th string and he beat allowance out there. Verrazano a miler. We'd like to say here at Quantum U that we don't believe in curses (unless they are from ex wives) but do strongly follow trends. If you play one of these horses then you should at least tighten up a bum on the street or give at your church too. Make the money count for something because you have a real problem. Any Questions? Class Dismissed!
