Nobiz Like Shobiz?

What happened to him? Hubby was asking last night and I couldn't recall.

Tagg is transforming him into the next Lure.

he's won a grade 2 and a grade 3 in a row on turf.. been working out on a weekly basis at Belmont.. he's being pointed for the Jamica this coming Sunday and then the Hollywood Derby

Tagg is so lame, he picked the same wimpy path for Showing Up last year so he could save him for this year, and we know how that plan worked out.

Now Nobiz gets shoved to the same path just because Anygivensaturday beat him at 1 1/16 in the Dwyer. He is barely beating mediocre 3yo turf horses now and adding nothing to his stud value. Cmon Tagg go for it put him in the classic!!

lol..

I was looking at Nobiz's pedigree and at first glance you wouldn't think he would take to the turf.. but let we forget, Storm Cat is a Grandson of Northern Dancer.

with all that said.. I respect what tagg is doing. do you honestly think Nobiz can win the Classic? I sure as hell don't.

If not for an injury showing up would be probably the top turf horse in the country right now. I can respect that.

TAgg runs horses where they can win (unlike some trainers who just want to get in front of the big stage camera)

even with that said.. i don't' think he's that much better ont urf, I think the comp is just that much worse.

a switch back to the dirt next year would do him well..
