i dont think the Colonel is much of a sleeper, he will be bet... no more then 5-1

Decent field ...

I like the good Colonel (especially at those odds.)

the pick 4 might be impossible to hit, i see 6 deep in the travers and thats leaving harlem rocker out, i see 5 deep in the bishop and thats leaving j be k out.... i dont think russell bazes horse is a lock either, and the turf race is tough, im hoping war monger turns it around, but no way can you single there

i think it would be insane to leave j be k out. Just my opinion. This horse is a freak and he romped in his maiden at Saratoga.. And I dont understand going 6 deep in the travers and not having harlem rocker. I dont see harlem being a cinch by any means, but I also cant find 6 horses I'd like better than him...

i cant use j be k, almost the same reasson why i pounded proud spell last week, his best race is no better then a few in here, then i also like wards horse and matz horse from out of the clouds, i just dont get using j be k at no price in the bishop i like the 1,4,6,7,10, IMO j be k has defeated no one, he continues to beat the lukas horse who is nothing special, saturday he faces some very serious horses, desert key, and kodiak are very very good, better then anything j be k has ever seen
in the travers i like 2,3,5,9,11,12

i have 3 days to trim it down and i will try to, but IMO j be k is the biggest play against on the card

Good luck, I just dont see J be K losing in the form he's in. But that is why they run the race!

He's baaack..

Good betting race. I'll get to see the best 3 year old colts in the country run on Saturday. Doesn't get much better than that.

I think the only way to play the King's Bishop is to look for a speed duel between Desert Key and J Be K. They're both so fast/talented that I think they'll take each other out - Johnny V. says he's going to rate with Desert Key but that horse is a little headstrong. I'll rely on Kodiak Kowboy but also use some of the higher priced off-the-pace types.

Good Call........I think you are correct!

I like Jerken's horse Desert Key. The race he ran against Kodiak Bear was simply amazing. One of the gutsiest efforts I have ever seen. Shame he lost. Kodiak Bear had perfect trip and still only got by him by an inch.
I believe I have found my single for Saturday's late picks.

yes i think you're right, too funny this guy. thats my laugh of the day.
good catch.

im lost ?

we know pg

i own no caps. pick another affectation.

try capping the first letter of every word. sdjcom won't mind.

I think Cool Coal Man is way too high at 15-1. Disappointed to not see You and I Forever in there because he deserved a long look at what figured to be a square price.

I did a little also, though for me I don't think he is as good as some of these. Speed figures aside, at 15-1 I can certainly see him as a good value stab.

I looked at a few races earlier on and in particular I replayed some of Harlem Rocker's races to refresh my memory. I think if Coa can be patient and resist the temptation to move early on him we will see a big race from Rocker. This horse has one big move and the timing of it will be the key. Coa won't be able to get away with the premature move he made in the Wales if Rocker is to win a race of this level. That race should set him up well for the Travers.

I think Grenings article on the front page on Mambo In Seattle killed any chance of getting 5-1. Wouldnt be surprised at the least to see him go off the post time fav, since he is the 'buzz' horse.
