Not 100% sure, but it's possible Throng was kept off of his stablemate (Cowtown Cat) on may3. More of an exotics filler in the hanshin than anything

Yea, I didn't really look too deeply into the races surrounding it yet, so I didn't know how chalky it looks or doesn't look. If it looks like that, I'll just play it more times like you will....though perhaps not quite as many.

I don't think they carded the races very effectively, they should have put that MSW as the last race of the card, and made it Guineas/Hashin/Classic/MSW for the late P4

They are carding an hilarious race for the last race because of that damn Super High Five crap

Plus they sent out a bunch of free bets on it for tomorrow too (sent me a $5 one).

WTF, I am a gold member and I didn't get squadush....They are usually good for a $20 wager on something :)

I used to get sent a $5 something about once/month... this is the first one they've sent me this year. Or the 'mystery voucher', which I've actually done pretty well with... one teller told me that I had the highest one they'd seen all day once. Wasn't much, but I'll take the free ones if they send them.

Exactly, free opportunity to nail something....

and since it's free... shoot for the fences with them!

Well on the bright side, that hilarious last race looks fairly easy to get out of with 2-3 horses MAX.

They'd have been better served though, by swapping the 7th with the 11th. They get a bigger field, a more wide open event, and a better p4 and more likely Hi5 carry, because the current 11th looks a bit chalky to me.

Oh well.

I just got another thing from the TSC in the mail. Says I get 20 point/dollar the whole month of June (but only on bets made from the AP Grandstand on any live AP race)... trackside doesn't count.

The 1A Three Graces could be a live longshot in the 1000 Guineas. Was well beaten running behind Eight Belles a few times at the Fairgrounds, switched to turf at Hawthorne and found it much more to her likeing. Given, I'm sure she liked the drop in competition as well, but her BSF jumped more than 10 points from her career best and if you watch the replay it's obvious she loved the switch to turf. Her 1/2 sis Pricearose couldn't beat allowance horses on the dirt, but after the switch to turf was multiple GSP at Churchill. She's taking a big step up no doubt, but if she improves off her 1st turf try she won't be without a chance, IMO.
