Unless there's huge dump on #3 at the last minute, not worth an "ALL" bet.

Not surprised Ebby got beat. I am surprised about the manner in which she got beat. I figured if she ever got the lead no horse in that field could pass her. Oh well, after 15-20 more workouts perhaps Ebby will give it another try. Unfortunately it will be hard to find a field as weak as she faced today.

George,

When Ebby was in NY you and I both felt she would end up at Monticello. I guess now she is destined for Cal Expo.

Why is it ok to "bash" this Horse?? Calling her a Trotter or Pacer?? That IS bashing

Pres

sorry pres, but bashing horses is a little different then bashing people or tracks imo also. bashing horses is what handicapping is all about really. finding horses you don't like for whatever reason and betting against them. this horse has no business being that price or even getting the write ups or attention she gets. like I said ast week, she is 2 for 4 and is a useful filly who will probably win a couple more races during her short career in allowance spots or maybe even restricted stakes of some sort. but if she wasn't who she is we would not even be talking about her or pying any attention to her. she doesn't deserve the hype or the criticism. she is nobody.

Sometimes expectations are much greater than the talent and I think that is the case here. I think that it might be time to face the facts and just say she isn't destined to be a really good race horse and let her find her niche(claiming or lower alw races) where ever that may be. Maybe she will have a greater impact when she goes to the breeding shed, one never knows what lies ahead for her.

Pres,

With all due respect the only reason Ebby has received all the publicity is her connection to Zenyatta. The fans of Ebby created a double edged sword with all the hype on multiple forums. If Ebby was winning races she would receive little credit because she was EXPECTED to win. She is losing races so the hype has been proven to be a myth. I remember a certain trainer giving his guarantee Big Brown would win the Belmont and we all know what happened regarding Big Brown in the Belmont. Last year someone was bragging that he would be cashing a boat load of futures wagers on Flashback in the KY Derby. We all know Flashback never made it to the Derby and was eventually called Flushbucks when all those futures tickets clogged up a sewer system in California. When people make bold predictions such as the Ebby fans have done for over a year it can come back to bite them on the rear end. Just my opinion.

2 Things:

1, Pres' last post is his Personal Opinion. No facts have been presented to support this hearsay/rumor.

2. TAKE THE PERSONAL BS PRIVATE. LAST WARNING

OK - 3 Things LOL

3. Pres deleted his post to which I was responding so #1 is meaningless. #2 Stands
