When you call upon a Thoroughbred, he gives you all the speed, strength of heart and sinew in him. When you call on a jackass, he kicks.

But what can’t be seen also makes Messier special.
“He has that intelligent look in his eye,” Ryan said. “People might underestimate intelligence in an animal but they shouldn’t, it’s very important.
“You need a horse that isn’t intimidated, you need a horse that enjoys racing, you need a horse that has the appetite to go through a hole that sometimes it needs to fight for. We see all of those things in Messier.”

We all change, when you think about it. We’re all different people all through our lives. And that’s OK, that’s good, you gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.

Sal’s reprising this one since the NHL still hasn’t found what it’s looking for.
So, figure something out. Take one of those segments that have worked so well with the NBA — maybe he sits down for a one-on-one player interview and coaxes personality of them — and port it over to the NHL show. Have him make terrible gambling predictions. Whatever. Just do something. For a sport that constantly struggles to bring in casual fans, this is almost too easy.”

#1 – Mo Donegal
Copy/paste Zandon
Pretty much the same thing here
But less intriguing
#2 – Happy Jack
Least resistant path
To a stall in the big gate
He’s gonna get thwomped
#3 – Epicenter
Best of Bourbon Street
Crushed this season’s deepest prep
A “must” on tickets
#4 – Summer Is Tomorrow
Brave run in Dubai
But he hit a hard ceiling
Doubt he stays the trip
#5 – Smile Happy
Trending the right way
Feels more like a Preakness threat
But should run fine here
#6 – Messier
Did the class catch up
In his So-Cal second place
Or did he need one?
#7 – Crown Pride
Whether Dubai win
Or hometown Hyacinth dud
I’ve yet to be wowed
#8 – Charge It
Maturing quickly
But he fits the profile of
A Belmont winner
#9 – Tiz the Bomb
If Churchill burns down
And they move this to Turfway
He’d be worth a look
#10 – Zandon
Love his bravery
Tough race for a deep closer
If clear, he hits board
#11 – Pioneer of Medina
Needed defections
But Fair Grounds was deep this year
Could sneak a small check
#12 – Taiba
Hey, remember when
Zedan said he wouldn’t run
If Bob wasn’t here?
#13 – Simplification
A versatile style
But his class, distance limits
Are well short of this
#14 – Barber Road
Has some closing jets
That never have enough gas
He’d be an upset
#15 – White Abarrio
Unmatched at Gulfstream
Not sure how deep that group was
Foresee a step back
#16 – Cyberknife
He’s grown up a lot
From his wide-run Lecomte dud
Worth examining
#17 – Classic Causeway
Came back from the bench
To run about as well as
The horse he nudged out
#18 – Tawny Port
Solved the dirt riddle
Not sure he’s good enough here
But he’ll win plenty
#19 – Zozos
He held on gamely
Once Epicenter blew by
Grits into top half
#20 – Ethereal Road
Third start in five weeks
Each harder, none on the board
He shouldn’t be here
#21AE – Rich Strike
Hung on the fringes
In a weak Turfway platoon
An allowance horse
#22AE – Rattle N Roll
The wheels have come off
After such promise last year
It’s not happening
Prediction
Epicenter is
Who everyone thought he was
Ten, twelve fill the tri
