Plus some of us could use the points for RTTBC.

i agree with that, why not ship him in for this... he is going to be 4 or 5-1 at hollywood on sat, if he was here vs these he'd be 9-5

Why should they ship him across country? Especially when the BC will be on a synthetic surface.

for a grade 1 win

hockey2315 06-26-2008 07:14 PM

Isn't that why they're running in the Gold Cup? . . and he already has 2 G1s.

he would be heavy favorite at belmont...
at hollywood he will be lucky to be the 3-4 choice...
a grade 1 is a grade 1, why not ship in and stay for the whitney and woodward, everything in ny looks to be coming up soft, TIAGO COULD BE A BEAST ON THE EAST COAST. he is clearly better on dirt, as his 110 beyer and game victory over Heatseeker proves.

o and if the placed him correctly, he could have 5-6 grade 1 wins...

whitney
woodward
JCGC
who is running in those races ?

I agree shipping Tiago doesn't make much sense.

But why the heck did they ship Student Council to Hollywood when they could have shipped him half the distance to NY for an easier race???

that doesn't really have anything to do with it. . . do you realize what it takes to ship a horse across the country? do you realize that they can't just ship him there and leave him for a few months?

a win in the suburban does not cover it ?

so he's a lock to win? there's no reason to ship him across the country when there's a perfectly good race at home - the goal isn't the suburban or the gold cup anyways. . .

ok, a lock, i guess nothing is a lock and i have learned that.
but what would his odds be ?
he would be very tough to beat.

I KNOW WHAT THE GOAL IS, BUT THERE IS NO PROBLEM PICKING UP GRADE 1'S ON THE WAY, DAM HOCKEY, your getting me all emotional
heatseeker is a freak on synthetics,

i dont know, second is still a nice purse.

letswastemoney 06-26-2008 07:49 PM

It's convenient to keep a horse on their home circuit. I'd probably do the same if I owned Tiago just so all my friends can watch him with me, although I agree that Tiago would destroy the Suburban field.

hoss come on ? the division sucks, look at the suburban, i mean i joke about commentator but dam, he actually is legit for the whitney, especially against horses like the ones who are in the suburban
