:$: Good luck to you and all in this race. It will be interesting to watch the outcome. I am hoping that everyone that replied here will have a fearless selection.

I will post mine and duck from the thrown tomatoes if it finishes last.

Cheers.

For what it's worth, I used Redefined as my NYRA Showdown pick. That doesn't mean I'd actually bet him in the race... I just think he's got the best chance to hit the board of the runners today.

I used Hatta Fort :eek:

Good Luck, Phil!!

You too, I think both are the right plays on the card. We need Storming Off to run like the reason he's dropping in for the claim off a good effort... 90% of the entries gone in 7 days. Amazing. I have two of my three left, the only dinger was Street Magician getting beat a nose in the last jump for third.

Whats sad about you is that you admit to living in your moms basement.

Pants in da houuuuuuuuseeeeeeeeeeeeeee. What time did your roomate get up hoss?

Don't worry, Hoss. I'm on the phone right now with the HR deparment at his place of employment giving them the ip address he's using and website address of Derbytrail.

Haddafort is certainly the class and the deserved favorite. The only thing is that i am scared that it is too short for him and there might not be enough pace. What did you think about the pace scenario?

Does Around the cape have anything left?

See that Pants, Devry Institute has a great computer programming course. You should check that out and then go get a job with computers. Maybe its your calling!

That's ok. You should give that a shot though. I have a feeling you're going to be unemployed soon. ;)

My thoughts exactly on Hatta Fort, however he;s probably good enough to hit the board anyways. and on Around the Cape... no. Too bad.

If that is the case, i am going to go with siphon the kitty. Perhaps he can wire this field.

Good luck to all and to you phil on that Dutrow selection.

Nah, don't change your pick! For the purposes of the game I think Hatta Fort is a much better selection than Siphon the Kitty, the objective isn't to pick winners at a price but survive!

On topic...

this race is impossible and I would only play for pick 3 purposes the 2,4,5,7. Let Motion's horse and Godolphin beat me. They'll be underlays.

Not changing the pick. Just asking someone who obviously knows his stuff what they thought about a particualr horse. Obviously you think he is done...and i will take that at face value. If i had a strong feeling either way, i would have just picked him. And if he wins, no redboarding.

What made me curious was the barn switch and the jump in class.

cheers.

Oops, I'm confusing myself. Zippy was the one who took Hatta Fort for the NYRA Showdown. From a win bet perspective I'd probably take the 2, despite Lukas mushing everything he has.

As for Around the Cape, I really liked that one and I think old age has caught up to him. I think he still holds the 6F turf record at Belmont.
