Anyone read what the plans are for Tiago? (not that he is my selection but one would assume he will go to the Classic)

He's currently at an undisclosed amish farm in Utah pulling a plow in preparation for the BCC.

and he'll get beat. i hope he's 4/5

[quote=Pillow Pants]How much money has he cost you this summer? You seem awful bitter over him. If you would've took the time to...

Actually, you are right...he has cost me money. I singled Wingspan on top of a tri key a couple weeks ago. Yesterday I boxed Mott and Baffert in the Hopeful and got stung. Dumb ass that I am, I didn't just bet the 6/1 Majestic Warrior to win. The Robot gets me coming and going.

Except Lawyer Ron hasnt beaten the like's of St. Liam and Roses in May. This is a weak handicap division that he's beating up on, Langfuhr doesnt scream 10F, and Lawyer Ron doesn't like 10F. GZ was running high 120s beyer.......I'll play against all day in the BC Classic

It's just scary to think how good Lawyer Ron could be when The Robot's barn gets rolling again.

EXACTLY.

The Breeders' Cup has been pretty successful with stopping whatever roll Pletcher's barn is on.

My only worry for LR is whether or not he just really relishes Saratoga. Not to say he can't run well at Monmouth, too, but his last two are just monstrous compared to the rest of his career in my opinion.

While I accept LR being the undeniable horse to beat, I'm going to roll with Grasshopper and Asiatic Boy if he comes over. I'm hoping Haskin isn't playing with my emotions by mentioning the possible inclusion of AB in the Classic. After his UAE Derby, I felt he was the only dirt horse who could contend with Invasor. He'll be a nice price as well if he comes over.

You think Lawyer Ron at 5-2 on September 4th for a race in 8 weeks is a steal? Give me a little while and the Cannon Shell future book will open. I would give you somewhere around 5-2 that he does not make it.

i seriously doubt that any horse in the BCC will be under even money.

Where did the race start on route 36? The next 1 turn mile I see at Monmouth Park will be the first. I do agree though that Gotch Gold is better than he is given credit for and Lawyer Ron nearly did run him down against at STRONG Speed Bias. Personally I think that was a good race even though he didn't win.

I thought Monmouth and Laurel both had one turn chute miles. If i'm wrong i stand corrected.
still i agree with you, it was a strong race even in defeat as its hard to make up ground there against a good speed horse like gotcha gold.

Odds for BC Classic at WSEX
 

Is it hammertime? Lawyer Ron 7/2? Grasshopper at 25-1 is a decent play, no?

I don't see Cowtown Cat on that list :D

Circular Quay at 25/1 seems a bit odd to me, as does including Perfect Drift and Point Determined at all.
I would put the odds of CQ making the gate at around 35/1, and of winning it at around 75/1.
As for the two PDs, I don't see any chance of them being in that race.

Great topic....
I would love to get Any Given Saturday at 5-1!
And maybe a little money on Hard Spun....who drifts down to maybe 11-1? (he's a tough little Hombre...)

Harlington is not retired?
