98 to 100

the colt was very impressive unforunately he is an Unbridled Song so unless he heads to the grass will only see him once or twice a year till he breakdown or gets retired to stud to breed more fast pieces of fragile crap.

i like the 3rd race off a birth angle.

and he's flexible. he can run clockwise and counter clockwise.

That is the second reference you have made to Casino Drive apparently offering value. Let's see, a horse that had run once, halfway around the world, and beat a field of only first time starters, was just 6:5 in a NY Stakes race in his second career start. I would say " value " is something he will never offer.

I was guessing the Darley horse would get mid to high 90s and Casino Drive would get around a 105 or slightly higher.

So, Mint Lane ran in the mid 90s? I guess a pig will be flying by my window any minute.

The gap between them should be about 5 points by the charts.

Do you really believe any horse by Better Than Honour isn't ready for a mile and a half??

Wait what are you talking about? He's a Mineshaft isn't he?

Perhaps, but I'm sure that some of our resident chalk lovers can come up with some "inexpensive" combinations that will net a part of the no doubt thousand-dollar-plus trifecta payout (e.g., BB, CD w/ BB, CD w/ all).

Casino Drive is, but I think Freddy was talking about Unbridled's Heart. (The horse that won the 5th.)

Felt like about four lengths or 7 points to me at the very least.

Whatever.....they're both good horses. The more the merrier. Certainly a welcome improvement from the dreck we were force fed during the supposed TC preps.

CD looked like he was saying thank you for letting me race again. Exacta payed nice with a Fav on top. Where was that ALL button.:rolleyes:

Interesting

Considering his overall lack of seasoning ... he was very impressive.
