I mean , a nose from winning the SA Derby, training in the USA and is 20/1 ? A UAE Derby winner has never even been close in the KD and Derma is 5/1 on the board. WTF ?

I like him for what it’s worth which isn’t much.

Odds should have been closer to those of Mandarin Hero to my mind, but Kiss of death for the odds. I disliked him from the beginning......seems a jittery type |

Andy Beyer picked Derma. Odds should have been closer to those of Mandarin Hero to my mind, but Kiss of death for the odds. I disliked him from the beginning......seems a jittery type no offense but...do you ever go back and read your previous posts? lol i hate being the only one being called out 4 things i don't remember saying Let me know if I am misunderstanding your post. But Yes, I've been against Derama since the day he won the UAE Derby, and I've said so about a thousand times? I gave all the reasons why several times, too I was FOR Continuar. When he scratched I was FOR Mandarin Hero. If you need me to find the posts I can, but I've said it so many times it shouldn't be hard to find. Maybe you have me confused w/someone else? I said after UAE Derby he was 1w1w in that race, wasn't going to get the same trip here, and in some of the topics about workouts, I said he was anxious, jittery, and not my cup of tea. I only put a whole $2 on him because of my jockey contest pick of Lemaire and Johnny V. That was the sum total of my "belief" in Derma Sotogake, and it was marked clearly as a gimmick bet and I told why.  IMHO Derma's odds would not have gone so low had not Andy picked him.....he's a big name in this game and I have to think many punters out there take his picks to heart, since he had Medina Spirit. Conversely, for many of us, his pick IS the kiss of death, and a non-play LOL as for "calling people out", I actuallly haven't seen anyone do that on this forum? I've seen good discussions where people agree or disagree with other's picks, or corrects something factual.........but I am not aware of anyone "calling anyone out". Are you saying you get called out here? |

perhaps i AM just thinking of your gimmick bet I believe that is what happened, merasmag.  I was just noting that Derma Sotogake was Andy Beyer's pick for anyone who didn't know. Seems like he would have a lot of followers out there in the racing universe. When he made that pick I figured the odds would go down on Derma somewhat. |
